TAS Tour Diary: Suckers

Posted 10-20-10 by

Brooklyn's own Suckers are usually CMJ Music Marathon stalwarts, but the band is missing the festivities this year; they're currently on tour with Yeasayer in Europe. Still, CMJ week feels slightly empty without the quartet's hometown presence, so The Alternate Side asked drummer/keyboardist Brian "Nairb" Aiken if he wouldn't mind keeping a tour diary, with photos, at the tail end of the band's recent road trip with Menomena and Tu Fawning. He did ... and frontman Quinn Walker even proposed to his girlfriend at their Webster Hall gig on October 1, much to his bandmates' surprise.
