As we walked down the steep, dungeon-like stairs at the back of the Great American Music Hall, the ceiling inched toward our heads with every step. By the end of the staircase it felt as if we were dropped off in the imaginary world of Alice and Wonderland. Instead of chasing the white rabbit, we quickly followed the tour manager through the twists and turns of the underground halls. While we never met up with a hookah-smoking caterpillar, we swear we saw a Mad Tea Party going on in one of the dressing rooms. As we passed the crowded room the singing, partying and vocal warm-ups rang through the air. (We have a feeling they weren't sipping tea.) While these different vocal warm-ups were simultaneously going on, I finally entered PlayRadioPlay!'s dressing room. As I sat down on the dirty couch next to the lead singer, Dan Hunter, he started excusing the singing tour members. "They're making fun of a guy that was previously on the tour - who's not anymore - by copying his extremely annoying vocal warm-ups." Now, we get it; it's not an actual tea party. It's just some crazy joke to pass the time in yet another dirty dressing room on a two-month tour around the country. It all makes sense.
