After spending the past 6 weeks in South Africa, it feels great to be back in the USA. Although I missed some of the comforts of home, I can easily say it was the greatest trip of my life. I had the privilege of witnessing my brother’s wedding outside of Johannesburg, attending 5 World Cup matches in 3 different cities, standing on top of Table Mountain in Cape Town, and meeting so many amazing people. We experienced a ton of South Africa’s distinct culture, but the touristy Lion Park still stands out. It might have something to do with our convenient band name, but petting lions was one of the many high points. The sleepy little guy in the photo above was 6 months old (they wouldn’t let me pet the big ones). The photo below is from the top of Table Mountain in Cape Town with a view of the city and the Atlantic Ocean in the background. Anyway, I’m very excited to be back in Chicago and jumping into the writing process with my bandmates. We’re looking forward to bringing you new music.
