An amazing day yesterday at Ho-Hai-Yan festival in Taipei. We arrived early at 10am for sound-check. Clear blue skies on the beach-front main stage, it already felt like 40 degrees. Sound-check done we had about 7 hours til show time. Tried sleeping back-stage but it was too hot in the band tent. Went for a swim to cool off late in the afternoon. We hit the stage at 6pm. Probably the best festival show we’ve ever done. So much fun. Sky Caves In was a personal highlight. Turned into an epic 12 minute journey with a huge building techno jam in the middle – Max on hands and knees poised over her keys, in Hendrix-style instrument worship. Totally nuts. Crowd went ballistic.

Ho-Hai-Yan festival – Taipei, Taiwan 10th July 2013.

We’re both high on the whole thing today. What a wild show. We’ve got some incredible footage & still shots, and the whole thing was filmed for television. When we finally got back to the hotel last night, there was some amazing first vision on the news. Apparently, they’re editing the show for national broadcast later this week.

We’ll be posting pics and video soon as we can.

Fires out.
