Tour wrapped!

Posted on Friday, July 16, 2010

Hello!

So we finished the tour, sort of.  Plenty more going on, this Saturday we are providing some half-time entertainment at the Roller Derby bout on at the Hordern Pavilion, where I hear the D'Viants are going to be kicking some ass. Thursday 22nd july we're playing "Radar Radio" at the Gaelic Club, now with added pokies! Where's the Gold? Go get the feature in our slower (i.e more boring) songs! Friday we're playing The Wharf Sessions at the Sydney Theatre Company wharf thing, which i assume is some kind of free show for arts-type freeloaders (i.e me). Hey arts girls! We love you. Come for the free cask wine, stay for the band, and leave once the free cask wine runs out..

Next Saturday (24th july) we're playing the Black Cherry night at the Factory in Marrickville, this has the added benefit of being within walking distance of my house. So buy me a drink. Pleaaase. Your favourite paddywackers The Rumjacks will also be there, now with added member and new songs.

As there's no rest for the wicked, stupid, or imsomniac, the week after we're heading off a tour opening for Australia's darlings Grinspoon (or, as our manager inexplicably pronounces, Greenspoon) for about another 2 weeks. We'll be starting off in Tasmania, then Wagga, Bathurst, Penriff Panffers, Campbelltown RSL, Castle HIll RSL, Revesby Workers Club... yeah, you get the idea. The kind of places you'd see Mossy, Gangajang + "Frank" from Icehouse. I wonder what Grinspoon will be like? I remember working with a guy who said two of his ex-girlfriends had fucked phil, not sure what the significance of that was though.

I'm sure we'll be getting along famously by the end of the tour, although I am still a little bitter, the first band I was ever in had our first ever gig at the Ettalong Beach Hotel, we came second in a 3-band band comp, 3rd place had a car accident on the freeway up and didn't make it to the gig, and the first place winners was a Grinspoon covers band. Who were also JUDGING the competition! FUCKS SAKE!
