Music food Warped Tour vegetarian 1997
I'm happy to let you in on the first of some exclusive blogs about being vegetarian out on the road from sweet band 1997. Check out what Alida has to say below, and keep an eye out for future blogs from the band! - Marta
Hey guys!
So I'm going to start my blog out by explaining a little about myself and why this blog is so significant to me. I'm Alida and I play the keyboards and sing in a band called 1997. We're made up of Caleb (guitars, vocals), Alan (bass), Kevin (vocals), Nick (drums), and Cody (guitar). We're signed with Victory Records and have been touring and sharing our music for about a year and a half so far. We have two albums out right now, one of which just came out on May 27th. It's called "On the Run" and I've never been so proud of something before.
I'm writing this blog because my band and I are vegetarians who are always on the road. I just wanted to let you know what my band's about and how I deal with being a vegetarian in a touring band. I've grown up eating right my whole life, have worked in health food stores, master cleansed, and care very much about what I eat, or don't eat. Here are a couple of pictures to get this started. They're just some funny candids of the boys and me over the last couple weeks.
We've left for Warped Tour and began on June 20th, in Pomona, CA, on the Skate Ramp and Kevin Says stages. We'll be hanging out at the peta2 tent from June 20-26th, and July 1-3. We'll also be at the Glamour Kills tent on June 28th and 29th. I'd love to meet you guys, so come say hey! If you want to check out my band, check out myspace.com/nineteenninetyseven. Message me anytime!
xoxo,
Alida

It's great to hear from bands that boast about their vegetarianism/healthy eating, many bands just talk about how unheathily "rock and roll" their lifestyle is.

I didn't know you were vegetarians! That makes me love you guys even more!
Posted by: Starr at July 1, 2008 11:21 AMHad no idea you guys were vegetarians. That's pretty awesome. Love your music, and would LOVE to see you in Georgia sometime!
Posted by: Gyasi at July 5, 2008 1:01 PMI love you guys so much, I read all of you're blogs on MySpace and have purchased both of you're albums. I wanted to go to Warped Tour '08 so badly, but I didn't have a ride..(I'm only 14.) The whole vegitarian thing is cool, I've never heard of a band where all of their members are vegitarian! Very Unique, hah.
Love you guys! (Kevin & Caleb r friggin hot)
Posted by: Chelsey at July 5, 2008 1:04 PMive been a vegetarian for about seven years and i think its the best decision ive ever made. its really cool to hear that a band i like are also vegetarians!!!
Posted by: Shandi at July 5, 2008 1:55 PMI love seeing and admire bands that are for animal rights and who are also vegetarians. Congrats! People also don't realize that being vegetarian/vegan is also in the bible and the Christian way.
