VIC REGIONAL SHOWS + THE WEEK THAT WAS.

Hallo!

So good to be back out on the road!

This is what we have been collectively missing from our lives! Late night pizza stops, No sleep, over night drives, rocking, rolling, hanging, boozing! ah good for what ails ya!

So last week we hit up Geelong, did some radio promo stuff during the day - at the Geelong fair...i think i got the sniffles from it...was freezing! There was steam coming out of all the drains, very metal! The show at the Barwon Club whilst quiet was lot's of fun spent the mjority of the show on the dance floor which was different. Andy and Matt decided to kill time by making Mask's out of all our stickers - slipknot style haha! Check out our little video for all the hilarity.

Friday we spent running around with a Jameson hangover doing more acoustic promo stuff which Chapel st called Yellow Bird, man tasty food and a killer selection of beer. (lovells, little creatures, V.B(ha)) Then headed over to Revolver for the show. WOW! what a weird and wonderful place! strange hang thats for sure but a killer show none the less. Got to catch up with
stack of old mates which is always good...and whats a visit to Melbourne without a visit to the 24 hour bottleshop?!

Instead of hitting up one of Melbourne's many 'alternative' nightclubs we decided to sit at the hotel drink beers and watch 'Falling down', great movie that one.

Saturday we had a lazy morning before heading out to 'Fist to face' for an instore. And to my surprise there was an Esky loaded up with Doctor pepper! HELL YEAH!
After the instore we had to drive home to N.S.W which wasn't looking like fun until The wonderful Gerard from fist to face loaded us up with enough soft drink to make a dentist rub his hands together!

All in all a fun little trip... Check out the latest tour video

Click here for all the dates and ticketing details www.afterthefall.com.au/tickets





DESIRE IS THE SONG OF A SPORTING NATION, CH 10 and ONE use Desire for the Music to the MOTO GP TV AD

'Desire' has been lucky enough to be getting some spins on a few Tv commercials. Ben - as a moto gp fan- is SUPER siked that it is on Australian Moto GP promo featuring Casey Stoners big comeback.

After The Fall DESIRE use on Australia MOTO GP Promo


Also we were lucky enough to be on the Commonwealth Games promo which ran during the AFL grand final.
Over 3.5 million people viewed the promo during the final. Its funny how when you put a song to a dude yelling 'GOLD FOR AUSTRALIA' how powerful it can be...and i dont even do sport!

RANDOM BIT AND PEICES

Just got back from doing some acoustic tracks and an interview at MMM with ugly Phil, i will get some footage of that up soon! Was good fun and Phil was a genuine Dude!
Also we got some sweet new merch at these shows, new tee's and the like so bring some spare pennys if you would like to sport some killer attire!
That about all for now, Super keen to hit the road - make sure you stay tuned to one of our many social networking sites for Weekly video updates from the road!
if you have twitter follow us www.twitter.com/atfmusic it will blow your mind (may not actually blow you mind)
Peace
Mark

P.S - we have been told by a stack of you out there that there was a hell close up of one of our posters on Neighbours?
crazy...all i can say is bring back Sarah! and does Toadfish still have that killer Mullet?

AFTER THE FALL NEWS

COASTER FESTIVAL

Hi all!

Had a busy week last week, we were full flight into writing some new jams when we got the call we were at late addition to the Coaster Festival. So we cut the writing short and got a killer set together!

I was probably the 2nd hottest day EVER but we soldiered on and nailed our set. After we played we got to hang out and see the bronx play and Andrew tried to steal a couch...he didnt get far.

Check out the video!

MELBOURNE SHOW WRAP UP!

Our Melbourne adventure started with a 4:30am Lobby call...by lobby i mean the cold street i live on.

Ben was twenty minutes late for the pickup which means i could have got about 19 minutes extra sleep! and at that hour...well its worth it!

Picked up the rest of the Fellas as well as J-fresh (also known as Josh from Angelas Dish) and Hit the Frog an toad for real.

We always see this sign on the Hume highway 'Best coffee on the Hume'. So this time instead of driving past we stopped in to see if in fact it was the 'Best'.

The unanimous decision was that it may very well have been the 'Best Coffee on the Hume', but was probably some of the worst coffee we have tasted.

Now thats out of our system we will never speak off it again.

Got to the show and had a 5 minute soundcheck(!) got some sweet Chinese from Mao's on Brunswick st with a Pizza chaser from Lamb and back to check out Kill Teen angst

These guys are from Perth so they already win, but i was pretty keen on checking them out after hearing some tunes on myspace. They have some pretty Rocking tunes with Beards to match, think Hot water music, small brown bike kinda vibe...the music! not the beards.

Played the show and caught up with heaps of friends we havn't seen for a long time which is always good! Then ended up at a Kebab shop at 4am. Seems we were the only ones privvy to the fact they served booze?

So to Melbourne...THANKS FOR COMING OUT!!!!!!! we really appreciate it and we will see you again for a bigger and better show SOOOOON!

More on the show front! We will be annoucning a MASSSSIVE national tour VERY soon..like within days! so stay tuned! very excited to be hitting te road for a hard slog!
