The Relient K/ Paramore / Fun tour has been killing it. The tour only has a few shows left, but it’s had a great run.
Here’s a recent blog post from Ethanluck.com

Hey folks. It’s hard to believe that this tour only has a few shows left! It was a short tour and flew by so fast. I know I’m gonna miss everyone from this tour. Fortunately, most of everyone lives in Nashville so we’ll be able to hang out more. I wish everyone in Fun lived closer, they are so kind!

Check out Ethanluck.com for more pictures and blog spots from tour!

As well, here’s a tour update video:

Japan Photos

Hey folks. A few of us got back from Japan this morning. We are almost home. We have a show in CA on Saturday and then we head back to Nashville. I’ll throw up a more extensive blog post later. The trip was so amazing! I still can’t fathom how awesome it was and what a good time we had. I want to go back! I wanted to post a couple of photos in the meantime. Enjoy!

^ Aren’t his photos awesome? I absolutely love them.

New Found Times in Japan.

Here’s just a bit from Ethan’s blog:

The 3 shows we did for the Punkspring festival were sooooooo fun! Thanks to everyone who put the show on and made us feel so welcome! Last night we played the final show in Tokyo and it was insane!! I think there were about 9000 people there. It was so cool to see the Japanese kids singing along to all of our songs. We had such a good time meeting new people from other bands as well as spending time with our good friends in New Found Glory. After we played last night, a few of us stuck around the stage area to watch Face To Face and New Found Glory. They both killed it! It was so fun to see the Japanese crowd lose their minds over them! Thanks again, Punkspring, for having us. I hope we can come back! Now, we have a couple days off here. Time to explore!

After our show in Tokyo, all of us went out to an amazing restaurant called By The Sea. We had a, what seemed like 10, course meal there. The cooks there even brought out special stuff that was vegan friendly for my Wife and I! We all took pictures with the staff afterwards and they even took a polaroid of us to put on their wall.”
^Sounds like so much fun. Check out more news AND photos HERE

I haven’t found any recent videos from any of their shows at Punkspring festival, but if you find one, be sure to let us know!

I prepped for my trip to Japan by watching Karate Kid II. I have my drum technique down. Is that all I need to get by there?
