Salut!
We are back from our shows interstate and we have had an amazing time while away! Also, while we were away, or rather on the day we left, our EP arrived in Melbourne from Singapore after fears of it not being pressed before our Sydney show. It was (thank fuck!) and we managed to swing some mates-rates on a courier trip for 100 of ‘em up to Sydney on the day of our show. We work to the minute!
ANYWAY, the show in Sydney was really great and heaps of people were nice enough to say a number of lovely things to us after the show and buy CDs, which made us all feel really good! (Even if Jason had felt “like some random dude who decided to show up and try to jam along with the band”) Many thanks to Owen – and Jess too – for accommodating us again and putting up with our shit-talking and giggling until 4am.
We arrived in Brisbane a week before our show (because we couldn’t afford to go home and come back again) and spent the next 6 days entertaining ourselves with Xbox, Man vs. Wild, Vodka, Beers, 5 seasons of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, vomiting, studying the behavioural patterns of the geckos, electric drums, BBQs, UNO and “using up our tomorrows today”. Thankfully we all made it to Saturday and played easily the hottest show I think any of us have ever played! Sweat was literally pouring from our bodies in torrents and I couldn’t think straight. But all-in-all it was a good show and the night out that ensued was a blast! Jason and I were too cadaverous to make it to Wet n’ Wild on Sunday, but apparently that was radical too.
A huge thank you to Jackson, Pat and Fancis for having us and making us feel super comfortable all week! And a sad fair well to our long time friends Willows. That band has meant a lot to me over the last 3 years and I’ll miss it sorely.
