We had the best rehearsal today with the new sound. 2 piece is rocking. Great new song (Saving Yourself). Dance rock. Max is loading the tour shows onto the web as I write – they’ll feature here tomorrow.

A little more about Melbourne’s White Night festival from last weekend.
As for this weekend gone, it turned into a big one. Started Friday night & didn’t let up til late yesterday. The weather had us all primed for it. Back into things today – another hot one in Melbourne.

We’re playing a show later this month – 23rd March – at Barleycorn, opening for Chapter Ray’s EP launch. We’re on at 8:30. Lane Chaser hit the stage after us at 9:30, followed by Chapter Ray at 10:30. It’ll be a great night & we love the early slot (which means a few beers afterward, hanging out watching the other bands). And 4 days after the show, we’re off on tour in Europe.

Great shows coming up at the Corner Hotel, Richmond over the next couple of months. Check em out. UK band Turin Brakes are set to play 2 shows there on 1st and 2nd of May. I loved that band – gave their debut album ‘The Optimist’ an absolute flogging when it came out nearly 10 years ago. We’ll be on tour in China when their shows are on here in May. Hopefully they come downunder again.

Started the day with a rehearsal. Working through the tour set. Emailed our drummer Kevin Radomski the first half of the set-list yesterday. He’s started ‘soaking’ as he puts it. Kev lives in Houston, Texas. He’ll join us in Beijing for a series of rehearsals in the week before the China tour which kicks off on the 26th April.

Just got back from dropping our passports off to the visa agent for the China section of next month’s overseas touring. They’ll take a couple of weeks to process & we’re good to go.

Last night at White Night Festival, Melbourne. Haven’t seen the city this packed before. Everywhere you went there were tens of thousands of people. Swanston Street was shut down by an enormous crowd which stretched from the Arts Centre to La Trobe St. Flinders St was the same from Russel to Elizabeth & beyond including every side street and laneway. The shot below – Ash Naylor setting up on stage below the clocks at Flinders St Station.
And a shot just before the bands kicked off (standing out front of St Pauls Cathedral) –
