Greetings from Austria!
It’s been a week full of new adventures to new places. Finally saw BUDAPEST. Bridges, peaches, wanderlust, heat, and stealing rides on the city bus.
Next stop – Tel Aviv… Hot, ancient, intense, control, hummus, bread, beaches, blisters, amazing audiences, more bread, more hummus, jerusalem, christians, jews, muslims, palestine, israel.
Took a day trip to Jerusalem and was invited into a kind family’s house to see how they live. Its amazing the amount of conflict in this part of the world but also how much everyone has in common and agrees on as well.
Visited the church where Jesus’ tomb is and went to the Western Wall. The energy in Jerusalem is powerful. The show the next night in Tel Aviv was incredible the Echelon came out in full force and made it unforgettable.
Last night was Krakow, which is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. I loved wandering the streets and experiencing the Polish culture. Had a great vegan meal at a place called Momo.
For our first time in Poland, we could not believe how loud people sang every word to every song at the show. It was insane. Thanks for that.
We can’t wait to see you all in Warsaw in November!

This took this shot of a priest going up these stairs in at the market place in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is an amazing place. I went to where Jesus is suppose to be buried and visited the wailing wall. We were also invited up to this old mans house, while walking through the tiny alleys of this historical place, where he talked to us about his experience living there.
We have one more festival show in Holland and then on to our American tour!

Had another first this week. Got to go to Israel which is a place I have always wanted to visit. What an amazingly beautiful place and what an intense vibe it carries with it. I’m not at all interested in politics so you won’t be hearing anything about what I think should happen or anything about what is happening over there. I want to talk about the amazing feeling we all got walking around the old city in Jerusalem and how absolutely incredible the Israeli music audience is.
We arrived in Tel Aviv and pretty much rested that whole day because of strenuous travel. The next day was the Jerusalem day trip. It was so amazing to walk around on those streets, some of them more than 2,000 years old. There is an undeniable feeling walking around these places, the feeling that even the rocks beneath your feet have so much more wisdom than I could ever hope to have. Seeing people living together that someone as ignorant as I am would have never thought would be possible. I took this photo of a little guy playing around, running around the market alleys and he just looked like he was having the time of his life. I wonder if he even knows how lucky he is to live in a place with so much culture, so much history. I suppose he doesn’t, and I also suppose that this is the very thing that makes us all so similar. We in the band often talk about how, the more we travel, the more we see the similarities between us all, rather than the differences.
This brings me to the show on Wednesday night. We have never been to Israel before, but you wouldn’t know that if you just walked into our show randomly. This crowd had to be one of the loudest singing, most involved audiences we have ever had. All of these people coming together on one side of the globe, to see this band from the other side of the globe, and everyone was having the time of their lives. Just another example of how similar we all are, rather than how different. All I know for sure is that I love my life, and I feel so grateful to be able to do this. I know I have said before, and you can pretty much count on the fact that I’ll be saying it again…

Weekly Picks from the Band
Book of the Week
Don DeLillio – White Noise
White Noise is the eighth novel by Don DeLillo, and is an example of postmodern literature. Widely considered his “breakout” work, the book is set at a bucolic midwestern college known only as The-College-on-the-Hill, White Noise follows a year in the life of Jack Gladney, a professor who has made his name by pioneering the field of Hitler Studies (though he doesn’t speak German).Movie of the Week
Welcome to the Dollhouse
Welcome to the Dollhouse is a 1995 American coming of age black comedy about Dawn Wiener—a shy, unattractive, unpopular 7th grader in a middle-class suburban community in New Jersey. who is struggling to cope with un-attentive parents, snobbish classmates, a smart older brother, an attractive younger sister, and her own insecurities.Album of the Week
R.E.M. – Murmur
Murmur is the debut album by the American alternative rock band R.E.M., released in 1983 on I.R.S. Records. Murmur drew critical acclaim upon its release for its sound, defined by singer Michael Stipe’s cryptic lyrics, guitarist Peter Buck’s jangly guitar style, and bassist’s Mike Mills’ melodic basslines.Restaurant of the Week
Brasserie
Opened only a couple of years ago, the Brasserie has since been one of the most successful restaurants in Tel Aviv. It has a wide selection of simple French cuisine, everything from breakfasts through pasta, seafood and meat.

Now, this was the best and most interesting Transmission so far.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences with us.
Special thanks to Tomo who just gave me the final kick in the ass I needed to go for a certain project I have in mind for quite some time now, but hesitated to let it see the light of day.
You’ll know what I’m talking about when you see the result – soon.
fantastic boys ¡¡¡
It will be December, Jay! But we can’t wait and if you want you can make a show even today! In Warsaw will be even more Echelon! PIA
Love hearing what is going on. I think we live through you guys sometimes, since we all can’t get to these places. You have made this a great year of music for me. I have shared three concerts with my daughter. And we have one more to go. I would love for her to meet you guys, but those VIP tickets are $$$. Love the album. Keep it up, we will be listening.
hi guys, thank you so much for allowing us to know all about the experiences you live every day. It definitely increases the wish of traveling and visit so many beautifuls places and people with so different cultures. By reading your pics about Tel Aviv and what you saw and experienced made me have a little more faith on people and keep on believing in a better world. Keep on doing what you do best – giving us the better night of our lives.
I hope you have the chance to see my city (lisbon), and who knows a little more of my country, and enjoy what it has to offer.
Great journey! It’s so interesting to see the world through your eyes… Waiting for next transmissions!
Thank you for amazing show in Krakow!
I love reading these blogs…but this one in particular I was looking forward to because of where you all went. I cannot imagine how it felt to be in Jerusalem…the history of that city alone has always made me want 2 go there…but the violence keeps me away. Im very happy that you got to experience it…PEACEFULLY!
I know what you guys do is hard work, and touring has to be exhausting…but I also hope y’all realize how blessed you are to be able to see the entire world…and to make people happy everywhere you go…THAT’S gotta feel really good
Thank you all for sharing pics and posts on your journey…I know we all enjoy seeing the world through your eyes!
I’m glad to hear that you will be in Warsaw in November… but where?! when?! I ask for the exact date and place, because I feel that the tickets will sold out very quickly …provehito
Kudos for the article, I am going to be making use of it to finish my essay!
Keep it up, we will be listening.
Thanks a lot guys for this blog ,really nice you’re sharing that with us.
It seems you had some great time ,memories and emotions on this part of the world; looks like it was very special . So have a great time with the american part of your tour now.
Take care of you guys !
Your music has inspired me to dream big, push harder. Reading about your travels and seeing how real you are by your journey, is awsome! keep fighting its worth it.
Agree with Patty…we definitely live through you guys! I love hearing about your experiences especially in places outside of the U.S. Keep it coming!
Yep, nothing better than visiting
Ancient sites
Thank You for such a beautiful words you wrote about Poland, and especially my dear city- Cracow, where I live.
Guys, hope you’ll rest and take care of your health, ok?
Greets!
Gabriele,
Cracow, Poland
ребятки..удачи вам)))
you know jared your group probably most mignificent of all good nick to you and i wish group to sleep and gain strength)))примерно так)))
Thx for coming to Krakow despite I moved to UK. I’m glad you’re going back to Poland but why Warsaw?? It’s one of the ugliest capitals in the world ;/ It’s better to see Wroclaw, Gdansk, or visit Krakow again
and Tomo I agree with you – we all are more similar than some of us think. No matter who you are or where you come from – we’re all brothers and sisters and we should respect each other ! Let’s hope Mars philosophy help us realize that to the rest of the world!!
Thanks for the great Transmission. And go to Israel people! It’s great and strangely enough I felt quite safe there despite all the danger. So don’t worry too much about that, it is definitly worth a trip and our guys proved it as well. 30STM <3
Awesome insight into your extensive travels as usual
LMAO – Welcome to the Dollhouse!!! Funny I was just telling a co-worker to see it! I love that movie – HILARIOUS! And sorta disturbing too
Out of curiosity who picks your “picks”?
I’m sa glad you like Poland, Krakow, Pierogi (omg I wanna hear when Jared said ‘pierogi’!) and Polish people! it’s true- we are amazing and we can sing every your song!
I hope, you’ll have fun in DECEMBER (not November Jared!) in Poland. many of tickets are sold and solding started at 1 or 2 pm!
