....And the countdown to the U.K. is on! If I was told this time last year before the album launch that we would be heading over for the second time to europe in a year it would seem the words of fiction. But alas the Great Escape and all the other gigs along the way will be filling our ears, eyes and minds in less than a month. After a short little 2 week break with the band we're back into rehearsals in which enthusiasm is the captain. It seems with every meeting with Milwright lately there is more new material and buzz in the air. Recently we've played some excellent gigs, with a bit more of an acoustic side with Tristan playing the Double Bass. The Grace Darling is an excellent bandroom that everyone in Melbourne should check out.. and the gig there went well with the venue really looking after us. We also played the 'Between the Bays' festival in Mornington to a great crowd, and Earth Hour, at the zoo, saw the lions roaring next to us as we played on the bill with Australian music legend Tim Rogers.
For me the experience of being in London with its History, Creativity and sheer size and diversity put me in a creative place both artistically and musically that I'd always strived and dreamed to get to. To be playing gigs again in the next few months in Camden and Brixton, and also to experience new places like Brighton, Liverpool and Manchester(most of my favourite bands came from there), I'm counting down the days to my ultimate life on the road.
So make sure those of you in the U.K keep in touch and check the gig listing as we'll be adding new U.K dates to it quite often. And those of you in OZ we have been invited to play 1 last show in the first week of may it is still TBA, but we will be post the confirmation on our facebook page in the next couple of days.
