It's now been exactly a week since the Wild Moccasins kicked off their first-ever extended tour with a sweaty show before a packed house at Mango's, and like a lot of people (we imagine), Rocks Off is curious how the H-pop heroes are faring on the road. Luckily, instead of having to rely on their finding a pay phone - though the Moccasins may not be old enough to know what one is - or somewhere with wi-fi (which isn't always easy out in the hinterlands), we can keep tabs on them through the miracle of Twitter.

So far the band seems to be faring pretty well. They're eating, which is no guarantee on the road, found some free juice in Florida, saw a rock star walk by in Athens and appeared on CNN while visiting Atlanta Tuesday (hope they plugged their show). On the other hand, they've already had to pawn a pair of sunglasses. Either way, they're certainly taking a lot of pictures...
