William was coined 'The Mad Arab' from our tour in the states when people in the Midwest would mistake him for a terrorist. Pepe became a Sergeant at rehearsal one day when Belly made a play on words referencing the classic Beatles album. Belly is a direct translation of Ricardo's last name in portuguese and Abe and I are remembered by many back home in NYC as the Beja Bros.
The Cast the Way Tour began in Beja. As far I know, the city has no relation to my family name, but we were treated like family...complete with Guiness and Belgian Wheat Beer Backstage...smilin' faces all around!
Bellyman gets romantic at soundcheck...
So how was the show you say? Hmmm...I mostly remember the hangover the next day on the way to Spain. First shows of the year are usually a fog. Around 1am we went on. Powerful set. Very Intense. For an encore, we did a medley of songs from Alternative Prison. Below is a crowd perspective someone posted on youtube...

I might sound silly (i know i do) but the video gave me goosebumps from the first second to the last one, when I first saw it in youtube. I think I need a concert ;)
