The band looks back on their December 2000 Florida tour, with stops at quirky venues like Lost & Found in Orlando, Hangtime Joe’s in Lakeland, Jack Rabbits and Murray Hill in Jacksonville, and Grounds Coffeehouse in Sebring. They swap stories about odd payments (two cokes for four people), crashing at promoters’ houses, phantom music, sweaty floor shows, and Miami hospitality. Between laughs, they reflect on how young they were, road life with no money or cell phones, and how today’s kids experience music and boredom differently.

Closing Out Through It All

And as a bonus—we unveil a brand-new AI reimagining of Peace of Mind, blending past and present in a way we never could have imagined back in the day. It’s nostalgia, storytelling, and a little bit of future tech all in one.

In this episode of the Jeremiah’s Grotto podcast, we spiral back through the glory days of microwaved chip bags, empty venues, Club 412 confusion, Gypsy’s house, and the sacred dollar menu. It’s a wild ride through memory lane—Texas style. 🌵

If you’ve ever slept on a church pew or played for a door guy who’d rather be at Jimmy Eat World… this one’s for you.

In this episode, we share the story of playing the iconic Knitting Factory in Hollywood—easily one of the nicest venues we ever stepped foot in. Great sound, real green room, good food... it actually felt like we belonged on a real tour.

While we were there, we met Mark Wolfson from Playtone Records (yes, the label from That Thing You Do), who showed genuine interest in what we were doing. He even gave us his card and set up a follow-up showcase. Around the same time, we also played for Drive-Thru Records in a rented rehearsal space… which didn’t go quite as well.

It was a moment where everything felt possible—and we learned just how wild, unpredictable, and exhausting the chase for a record deal could really be.

In this episode of Inside the Tour Van, the band recounts the long, weird, and wonderful stretch from Minot, ND to Missoula, MT—featuring improv comedy, cowboy hats, and a surprise Denny’s rescue mission. With 12-hour drives, makeshift campground cookouts, and Montana mountains that never seem to get any closer, it’s a gritty glimpse into life on the road. Also, find out how a bucket of change and a bold ask landed them a legendary Grand Slam breakfast.
