  • 2012 Summer Euro Tour Blog 5

    Holy crap! What a whirlwind the last few weeks have been, shit, nearly a month! It goes like that on tour. You wake up wondering what time it is, what day it is and what country you’re in…every day. Nothing could really prepare us for Alencon, France. We played a small arena called La Luciole…

  • 2012 Summer Euro Tour Blog 4

    It’s always when you have some off time on tour that you realise how far removed from reality the touring life of a musician is. What other job can you wake up at the crack of noon and all you have to worry about is “will I get to the toilet in time?” Then it’s…

  • 2012 Summer Euro Tour Blog 3

    I know, I know. It’s been ages since the last blog ad I promised to do them weekly. Truth is, we’ve been incredibly busy with this tour and organising the next one and maybe something exciting is on the horizon for us…but more on that later. So on the 30th of April after a brief…

  • 2012 Summer Euro Tour Blog 2

    Ok, so I’ve been massively slack and haven’t written a blog in two weeks. Sorry peeps! Good news is I bought a new guitar. I tried really hard to be responsible and even set a price limit for myself…then I played all the guitars that were in that price range and spent a shitload of…

  • 2012 Summer Euro Tour Blog 1

    I can see why sleep deprivation is used as a torture technique. This is the fourth time we have made the 30+ hour flight from Adelaide, Australia to Europe. You would think that we would be used to it by now but nothing can really prepare you for the assault of microwaved plane food, free…

  • Acoustic instores

    Today we played 2 acoustic sets in Bonn, one at Mr Music and the other that night at Rockofen. Having never really done this kind of thing before it was nice to hear our songs in this style. The staff at Mr Music were fantastic and it was really cool to walk into a proper…

  • Lubeck, Bad Segeberg and Munster

    Lubeck, to play a big show at Musik und Kongresshalle. When we got there we weren’t sure it was the right place. It was huge! The stage and PA was set up and sounding great and the room was lined with Harley Davidson’s. How cool is that! We were treated like rock n roll royalty…

  • Hamburg, WOW!

    2 Nights ago we played Likedeeler in Hamburg. The club was in the Reeperbahn, which for anyone who has never been there before it’s kind of like Amsterdams redlight district. It starts at around 9pm and goes to bed sometime after 8am. Detlef and his son met us at their club to load in during…

  • Thanks Luneburg

    Luneburg Germany last night. Driving into town we noticed the huge number of students in this town and new it was going to be a great show. We also noticed our poster up in the streets, very cool. What a great venue, Jeckyll und Hyde. It’s how pubs should be. We could tell this place…

  • Hittin’ the road

    First day on the road today. We’ve picked up our van, got our gear sorted, folded our merch and even had a great night with some old friends. The past couple of days have been spent sorting out our merch and doing all the little things needed to get on the road. Mike has switched…
