LOVE ON TOUR – Los Angeles (1/29)

A snippet from the very self indulgent musician au I'm working on.

•

Lucy breaks her wrist less than a week before the opening concert in Madison Square Garden. It’s 8:35pm on a Saturday. They’re supposed to be on stage the coming Friday. Doors open at 6:00pm. Once Buck gets confirmation from Bobby that she’ll be okay, that she needs surgery but will be fine, he proceeds to have what Hen generously refers to as an anxiety attack, and Eddie calls a Chernobyl level meltdown.

“I’m already working on it,” Bobby says calmly, after Buck comes back from hyperventilating in the bathroom for fifteen minutes.

Hen wordlessly holds out a water bottle, and Buck chugs half of it in one go.

“One. Week. Bobby,” Buck says, and he knows he looks manic, “Not even that! Five days!”

“It’s cutting it very close,” Eddie says, “But c’mon Buck. But this is LA. There are a lot of excellent drummers in town.” 

“What are we supposed to even do?” Buck asks, “We can’t have tryouts, it’s way too close.”

“I’ve already got a few people in mind,” Bobby says, looking down at his phone.

“Who could you possibly know that can learn this entire setlist so quickly?” Buck says, fighting and failing not to sound whiny, “And can just drop everything and be on the road for the next six months?”

“What about Tommy?” Chimney asks, apropos of nothing.

Hen makes an interested noise. 

“Tommy would be good, actually,” Bobby says, nodding slowly.

“…Who the hell is Tommy?” Buck demands.

Hey guys... So like. Did we know that before Thom Pike was a tour manager, he was a drummer in a band (Falling With Style) with 3/4 guys who would later become Holding Absence? Is this common knowledge, or have I stumbled upon gold?

I knew about Sam Hallett being in Blood Youth before working as a tech, and Thom working with them on tour, and I also did know Thom and the HA guys went way back*. But this I didn't know!! How cool!!

* Adamross and the rest of Glass Heart was also already working with him at this time btw. The connections are connecting.

Referring back to that recent post from @sleepanonymous, I am now wondering if George Lever also produced their stuff from before, given he has worked on both early Holding Absence and Sleep Token, and if that's how they all met 👀

(more ramblings bellow the cut, nothing interesting just me being insane. also i just think it's cool how all of these bands and people are connected. nothing more)

So. Timeline of events that I know of:

2015 - Falling With Style ends

2016 - Thom is now a Tour Guy ; Sleep Token and Holding Absence are born ; George Lever is producing for both bands

(and then there's that Carl Bown/B4MV thing somewhere around here)

2018 - Thom has been working as Tour Manager for Holding Absence and Blood Youth ; Adam and the (would-be) Glasses are part of his crew ; Sleep Token is touring with HA and Loathe (also G. Lever prod.) as an opening band ; enter Espera (🥹🥰💕😚💘🤭 this has nothing to with the post but I just like to think about them)

2019 - Thom is officially managing ST (probably 2018 too? idk about before) ; Glass Heart is born (again not entirely relevant but I stay on my GH propaganda always. Adam say thank you baby 💎🩵)

Then we have those collabs etc etc ; Sam leaves the band and becomes a Tech guy ; FTRB ; George stops producing (🥺🥲) ; enter Carl Bown ; ENTERS COOL MF VESSEL THE FOURTH (our ivy)

January 2023 - Sam Hallett joins the fold (🥹💙) ; the first singles of TMBE are released ; World Domination etc etc
