the things we do to get to rehearsal on time….

so, in Tassie this week on a bit of business, tis all good, the plan is fly in Monday, out Wednesday, rehearsal Friday night, simple…..or so you would think….

enter Chile’s Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano…thanks ever so much for that..

the wednesday flight home quickly becomes an offer of a possible Friday eveing 10.20 pm flight…..

hmmmm, that’s not going to get me to rehearsal on time!

only other option….

a bloody big boat….not cheap cos it’s the only way outta Tas and the buggers know it! 11 hours of wobbly water in a lavish single bunk bed…who’s a lucky fella….

but at least I got a bit of harp practice on the drive from Hobart to Devonport, a few strange looks from other drivers though…

time to go home.

ok, so twas not quite the same woodstock i experienced back in april, but on a cold lonely night in Launceston town, a mighty fine friend…
hope this finds you all well….

what’s behind door 29?

we’ve been quiet, we’ve been busy, we have hit the next phase…..

the record sounds great, it’s beginning to look great with some fantastic artwork….we’re rehearsing for live shows now, not studio, a very different and slightly strange experience from the past 8 months….

we thank you for your interest, and your patience, it’s getting close now and we can’t wait….

work on the film clip has begun, concepts, ideas, imagery, locations, colours, it’s coming this winter and the album to follow in spring….

you guys, bless your hearts, will be the first to see, hear and experience the fruits of our toil…

it’s going to be a great ride and we want you all be apart of it with us…

peace….

in the can…..

well then, ten days of the most amazing highs, the odd exhausted low…..too many beers, too many pizzas, too many many things, but god damn it was awesome, so much fun and sounds bloody amazingly fantastic….we’re bursting to share, but a little more work to come…..choose the single, make the film clip, book the gigs….yadda yadda yadda….
we need your help folks, spread the word, share with friends, lets start something a little special……
here’s a few pics of us in Woodstock….
