How to Batman

When we stayed with our amazing friend James Leffler, he put us in touch with the brilliant minds behind “How to Batman,” a series of hilarious youtube videos where batman teaches you how to do simple things such as “move past the friend zone” or “order a $5 footlong.” In this awesome vid, he teaches you how to put up a band.

Please note, that in real life, we are very easy to host. We don’t need pistachios or scheduled bathroom time. In fact all we need is a roof over our heads. We try to be very considerate of our hosts, and will even do the dishes for you. We’re very appreciative of everyone who has let us crash, and who will in the future!

More live footage: Sunshine + Rock People

We just discovered footage on youtube from Boston and New York on the last tour! Both are Sunshine. We also have an iPhone recording of “Rock People” from Ell’s in Oklahoma, although the quality is fairly low.

Videos of Achachay! playing the Ruby Room in San Diego

Playing Friday night at the Ruby Room was sweet. Check out these videos of us playing our funk medley (James Brown, Chic, and Stevie Wonder – “Get Up,” “Good Times,” and “Superstitious,” respectively) and “Get Funky” – caught on video for the first time ever!

- The owner, Steve, is a great guy

- The bar is really cool, as it the area around it. Well know for being lgbt friendly, I of course got hit on by one of the male bartenders. Too bad I’m taken and straight; he was pretty cute

- It was great staying with Sara and Trevor. They got the party started!

- Plus, they’re responsible for these videos and photos (thanks guys)

- Plus, they fed us delicious food the next morning.

- The place got crazy with everyone dancing and loving it

- The bands The Attack and Archery for the Bling rocked as well.

- We’ll be back, for sure.

The Drive to San Deigo (sahn- di-ah-go)

The drive to San Diego from Phoenix was an adventure. We were forced to stop at 3 separate check points because of our proximity to the border, I found out what a ‘cracklin’ is, and I got to speed through some mountain passes in the rain and fog while blasting Wagner (see video below). We managed to get to the venue on time and in one piece. Also if you ever need a cowbell and you are driving through Yuma, Arizona don’t even bother stopping– I literally called 3 different music stores and each of them was out of cow bells, bro. (Written in the parliance of the times)

Oh and by the way, for the record a ‘cracklin’ is a piece of fried pork fat with the skin left on! (yummy!)
