He said that he was going to New Orleans in November so that must be one of his dates.

And I agree, that close talker guy was very pushy. He should've been happy that Damien obliged at all.

Despite the horrendous audience shouting and screeching in the middle of songs, his energy was crazy! He gave a little extra, especially in ITALTKAM and 9 crimes. He was really jammin out.

Told some funny stories about when he was a teenager playing music in Ireland and how he would get drunk guys that came up to shake his hand and wouldn't let go and kept telling him about how they used to live next to Bono haha. Also did a funny bit after people were trying to get him to down his wine and he started playing blowers daughter as if he was too drunk to do so.

Side note, Shazad is such a genuinely nice guy. Gyda too. Shazad was outside after and randomly asked if anyone was a drummer out there and one guy said he was, so Shazad gave him his 2 drums! Someone was saying they came to do these shows as a favor to Damien and they weren't supposed to be bc of their label or something like that, which is why they didn't advertise themselves before or during the show really.

Overall, the Texas shows were all really good. He was in a fantastic mood for all of them. I'd probably rank Austin, then Houston, then Dallas.
