Tour diary - USA - March 2005 - Day 22

Sloss Furnaces, Birmingham Alabama, 1 April 2005

"We were just wondering, are y'all in a band, or are you here for the Hair Show?". This will happen a lot in Birmingham. Although it appeared they were all just taking the piss, it turns out that the Hair Show 'takes over' for the weekend. Didn't see any hair, though, apart from a four year-old with a Mohican.

Tonight we're starting a short support tour with Jason Mraz at a place called the Sloss Furnaces. We speculated as to what sloss might be, and what happened when you burnt it, but when got there, it was self-explanatory.

This the first place on the tour where I actually felt foreign. Not because everything was outlandish and strange - quite the opposite - but because I felt out of place with my posh English accent and unruly hair.

I assume they thought I was a fucking limey faggot hairdresser.
