The Polyphonic Spree Reflect Upon Their World Tour, Prepare For Their Hometown Album Release Show.

There’s no question that the Polyphonic Spree is quite literally the biggest band in town. All jokes about dozen-plus member outfit aside, the group has also arguably been Dallas’ most noteworthy musical export for the past decade. But rarely has anyone ever peeled back the curtain and gotten to really know the personalities of the group’s individual members — or seen them sans stage uniforms, for that matter. As the band embarks on a world tour in support of its new Yes, It’s True LP, all 15 of the band’s touring members have agreed to contribute to a daily behind-the-scenes look at what it’s really like to hit the road with the Polyphonic Spree. Read more about the band members who will be contributing to these daily dispatches here. Then just hang on. It’s gonna be quite the ride.

For every small thing that has irked us, exhausted us, deprives us of sleep, and left a special stench on our clothes, this tour has given the good stuff back to us tenfold. I love this band. I love the music. I love the people. I love the choir. I love my stinky robe. I love Ross Avenue.

My bed, my shower and my washing machine are pretty sexy, but they don’t hold a candle to experiences like the ones I just had.

Some say this worlds a bitter scene
They say its danger
WE SAY OUR FATE IS MADE OF DREAMS
They say outrageous.
