The Do The Stomp tour kicked off in ice cold conditions in Canberra, but with Gay Paris and the Beards in tow there was more than enough facial hair to keep everyone warm.
Our first time in Geelong was to a small but appreciative audience, one fine fellow by the name of Paddy was so appreciative of how hard we must have been working that he came up and sang one of the songs himself, giving Johnny a much needed rest.
The next night in Melbourne we again had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Jackson Firebird, see these guys if you haven’t already. If you have, see them again! If you’ve seen them twice, go for a third! If you’ve seen them thrice, that’s probably enough for a while.
The drive from Melbourne to Sydney is absolute shit. We passed the time musing on hypothetical situations such as “would you rather live in a world where only men exist, or in the current world but have no penis?” “Would you rather be married to Susan Boyle, or Jennifer Hawkins (but she has a penis)?". “Would you punch an old lady square in the face if it meant million dollar success for the band?” and other, less printable conundrums.
This weekend sees us off north to play Phat’s Garage in Toowoomba on Friday night and The Step Inn, Fortitude Valley, on Saturday. Hope to see you there.
