Ohh San Diego...
We are all chillin out in Ocean Beach right now. We had a nice day off in Cali, full or rest and relaxation. Last time we blogged, we were at a McDonald's in Florida, now we are on the other side of the country in beautiful San Diego. From Florida, we drove out to New Orleans. Much love and big ups to the New Orleans crew. This night was really special for us, the reception in New Orleans was warm and awesome. We love it there. From there, we drove to Austin, played at the Flamingo, which was great vibes. Austin is a cool city, really an oasis in big ol' Texas. From Austin, we trekked for what seemed like endless hours across the desert, completing our drive through Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Finally, we reached San Diego.
We played two nights ago at Winston's, right in the heart of Ocean Beach, San Diego. The crowd was AWESOME. Cali has treated us all right. The vibes out here are incredible. Much love to the Winstons crew for putting on a great show and the Devestators for finishing out the night. We cannot wait to come back to San Diego, which conveniently is next weekend. Thanks to all the fans in San Diego who came out, we will DEFINATELY be back to OB. Now we are off to Huntington Beach, the South Lake Tahoe, then back down to San Diego. Our van, dubbed the Yellow Submarine has been running well (fingers crossed). Made it through the scorching desert, Id have to say the worst is behind us.
Until next time, thank you all for the continued support on the road. To everyone who has put us up on the way, thank you, it couldnt have been done without you. To Joe and Tosh in San Diego, thanks homies! You guys are the shit.
Also, thanks to Angelica Music for the album review of our new debut album "Soldiers of Sound". Much props to the dudes up in Vermont. Read the review here.

Zig-Zagging through Florida
We have been on the road for a little over a week. Last update was in South Carolina, but that seems like light years ago. Sitting in a McDonalds somewhere in northern Florida, typing away to connect with our fans.
What a fun and exciting tour its been so far. From South Carolina, we ventured into Georgia, then finally to Florida. Much thanks and love goes out to the fans, old and new who have been coming out to the shows, and the nice people who have let all 7 of us crazy people sleep at the homes. All the Jah Bobs in Florida, thank you for your constant amusement.
The shows so far have been great. Miami was awesome, they really know how to throwdown in that city. Thanks to the Miami New Times for a great review...read it here. After Miami, we drove up to Sarasota. What a fun town that was. Thanks to Bootsy for hooking us up there. From Sarasota, we drove all the way to lovely Boca Raton. We played an awesome bar called the Funky Buddha. This place is full of craft beers, lovely hookahs, wonderful employees, and it has an awesome intimate vibe. From there we played Gainesville, Orlando, and are currently off to Panama City, then back down Florida to Satellite Beach and Sebastian. From there its off to New Orleans. Needless to say, the whole iLa crew is feeling great and loving life and the adventure of being on the road.

Tour Day 2 ::: Friends, Family, and Fireworks
We are officially on tour. Its the morning of Day 2 and we are in Columbia, SC. Staying with some family along the way has been great. Were excited to head down to Miami today, making the drive from South Carolina to Miami to post up for a while as we complete our Florida run. We had a great show in Boston for our CD release show. Playing to our home town and giving them a bunch of new tunes to dance to was a special experience.
Yesterday we drove into true Southern territory. Most of the band hasn't been this south before so its all very exciting. This country is big and apart from playing music, the best thing about being on the road is seeing the US of A!

The van dubbed "The Yellow Submarine" is running strong, everyone is in good spirits. We stopped at the strangely famous South of the Border yesterday and got a few fireworks. Saving them for a special occassion. Weve got Florida, New Orleans, Austin, Cali, Oregon, Utah, and finally Rhode Island to finish out this six week tour. We are PUMPED! Thanks to everyone who has supported us along the way. We couldnt do what we are doing now without you guys. Props to everyone's family, friends, and lovers for putting up with us!

We will be living in a yellow submarine
Getting road ready as a band is quite a blast. Van & trailer, check. Hard shell cases, check. Gigs, check. Good people, check. We are heading down to Florida the 3rd week in May for what is lining up to be quite the tour. We recently acquired our very own beast of a van, dubbed the Yellow Submarine for now.
A few weekends ago we had the pleasure of playing at the Sugarloaf Reggae Festival. Two brunch time sets and a ton of fresh snow, in APRIL! For those of us in the band who get our jollies out skiing and riding, this was quite the weekend. Now that the album is off to LionFox for mastering, we have had time to get back in the old jam room to rehearse and write. Be prepared for an onslaught of new tunes, dubs, and some select covers. We are PUMPED to be spreading our music to the country this summer.
Be on the lookout for our new album, "Soldiers of Sound". It is dropping May 15th and really reflects a great period of creativity for iLa. You will soon be able to download a free track off the album via our new PR rep, Herbivore Publicity. We're excited to be working with Herbivore as they work with some great bands.
Check back often for music, life, and tour updates. Connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace.
Peace & Love,
iLa
