On the Road With Chief Scout, Heyrocco and Concord America: Cigarettes for Lunch
Chief Scout, Heyrocco and Concord America are reporting for Flagpole from the road.
Today is day number seven since I’ve made the ill-considered decision to follow these good-for-nothing kids around in their van. Seven days since I left the comfort of my own pull-out couch. Yesterday, I had chips for breakfast. For lunch, I had a cigarette. I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

Flagpole Premieres: Slow Parade, 'Stink I'm In'
New Athens/Atlanta-based rock trio Slow Parade features members of local moodsmiths Cicada Rhythm and Grand Vapids, and the music on the group's upcoming debut album, Big Plans, feels at times like a cross between the former's sepia-toned folk and the latter's slowcore shuffle.
But the kicker comes in the form of guitarist Matthew Pendrick, a former street busker and frontman of roots rockers Midnight Revival, whose insistent, twangy yowl anchors the band's free-floating instrumentation.
Today Flagpole is pleased to premiere the first single from Big Plans, set for release this spring.

On the Road with Chief Scout, Heyrocco and Concord America: Injury Report

Good morning everybody. This is Dale, and I’m coming to you live from having the worst sleep I’ve ever had in my life—and this is coming from a guy who sleeps in complete filth and on a mattress that I bought so long ago I think Jimmy Carter was in office. I slept on a wood floor in between two or three of these other smelly kids, cats walkin' around my head all night, I’m freezing to death. Today seems like it’ll be terrible.

Dale here again, and what a couple of days it’s been since I last posted. The boys all had the idea that we wanted to spend the Sunday off in Asheville. Naturally, they spent the whole day screwing off in Bowling Green, riding around on scooters and chasing kids around like ducks, so we didnt even get to Asheville until it was way too late—my whole medication schedule is already way outta wack. Also, a lot of my medication is missing. And these guys have been asleep since we left Kentucky.
