Goodbye England you've been good to us


Sadly, the end of the tour has arrived. At times it seemed like it would never end, in a good way, only to sneak up on us quite suddenly. To see and experience London and the UK in summer has been a treat in itself. The memories of hotel rooms, train journeys and venues will melt into a bit of a blur over time, but we hold on to the memories of great shows, the wonderful people we’ve met, and the amazing places that we’ve visited, however briefly. Our last show was really special, even with Nick breaking two strings mid-set, we managed to get by without resorting to bad new-funk jams, and finish the tour on a high. It's a shame that these things ever have to end, but we look forward to the rest of the year, with a single launch, supporting Powderfinger, and spending time writing for the next album. We can look forward to our next visit to the northern side of the equator, with the knowledge that it will be bigger and better than ever.
