AFTER THE FALL DIVE INTO THE MAP OF TASSIE THIS WEEK

LAST WEEK WAS A BLUR + TASSIE THIS WEEK.



Wow what a blur and a blast the last 2 weeks of the 'Go Hunting' tour have been!

First up i Just want to give special thanks to all the fans who have came to the shows, said hi, hung out, bought us drinks, and bought some merch! We really appreciate your support! We have had an awesome time on the road the past few weeks and we just want to say thanks for making it fun! We know it has been a while but we appreciate your support! thanks!

We reconvened with Calling all cars and our new mates FANGS in Warnambool for what was going to be a wild week of shows and parties. Warnambool seemed like a cool place, so we ask the dude at our Hotel where the best fish n' chips in town was...he said 'Con's is the best' it appears we were conned as it was pretty average.

Had a kick arse rock show at the Loft and ended up having a party in our Hotel with Fangs wild night much fun!

Next stop Ballarat...

Fangs had decided to start the part early with a case of M.B and the rest of the night was slightly blurry...actually we got a new guitarist that night...Leeroy Brown from fangs was officially our second guitarist...but he only played one song...'Sunshine Showers' but he played it well!



Next stop was Mildura...

Very hot! Befriended a dude who told me he liked to get on Ice, then proceeded to steal our merch...fuck that guy! We got it back with minimal head busting so all is well...just goes to show...NEVER trust a junkie.

Big thanks to All at the Sandbar in Mildura for housing the venue for the biggset party on the tour so far! Had an absolute killer off a night! Double parked on pots with all manner of beverages, ripped clothes, Baked bean drinking, sleep eating (the cheesburger incident) Walking through drive through's singing dancing and a whole heap of bromance, awesome times.

On the drive we stopped of at a roadside stall and grabbbed a bag of Oranges for the 5 hour drive to Bendigo.
Bendigo's venue 'the Pub' in actual fact was not a pub? Things got a bit silly tonight, Matt made an outfit which resembled Scorpion from Mortal Kombat...i dont know why. I fed Mackie from Fangs Pizza onstage...i dont thing he liked it as soon after he put His bass through the Ceiling. Nice! Ventured into the 'Alternative nightclub' Housed in the same venue only to Bail as quick as possible...GROSS!

Monday we had some press to do...played a cover of 'Dock of the Bay' on a show called 'Dancing about Architecture' i think we nailed it! I also scored a sweet 'Nickelback' Beanie today.




The week Just past we headed to one of my favourite places to tour Western Australia! Day one consisted of hooking up with our mate Jaie in Freo and shoting cannons! (no shit), The foundry at Cannington has always been a shitty show for us but i think this time we managed to push through and make something of it. We were lucky enough to have another cool support band for this weeks run of shows "The Novacaines", Killer band and rad dudes!

Bunbury was really fun as always and Mitch the publican hooked us up big style! thanks Mitch!
We passed a place called 'Cockburn Central'. Not sure exactly what goes on there?
Perth show at the Hyde park Hotel was awesome fun! and what would a night out in Perth be without hitting the dance floor at amplifier to the wee hours? SHIT! Although after busting a little to hard to 'Echo and the bunnymen' i had to go home and have a shower...Gross!




Mandurah was a strange place...it looked as though everything was about 3 years old MAX! I didnt party tonight but i hear the cover band SHREDDED! and wasnt into extra dry as much as hoped.

Fremantle is always a cool great food, great vibe, great shows and tonight was no exception. Mojs is a rad venue ultra cool vibe! after dining at San Drino one of my favourite places to eat in the world! We hit up Mojos and had some fun!
Finished up the night watching Ac/Dc videos at Jaies Pad! Killer week!
