Tour day 3 and 40

(James) Day 3 started out great with a much needed sleep in until 1pm, though Luke did have to drive Muzza to the airport at 5am in the morning (sucka!) The boys wanted to hit up the surf and Paul needed to vote for that election thingy (boorrinngg) so we cruised on into Surfers Paradise for a bit of beach action and some strip clubs. Ok so maybe that last one is a lie (or is it ..) but we definitely went swimming…

4pm came around quick and it was time to get Muzza from the airport. After much flailing of arms and yelling out into the ocean, the boys finally got out of the surf and we headed to the sparkling city of Brisvegas (I’m not sure why I used the word sparkling..)!

Upon entering Fat Louies we realised we had stumbled upon solid gold – half price bourbon and cokes. Score! After a few drinkies, we got our socks rocked by “Vomit Bullets” with the bass player dressed as Sexual Harassment Panda. Yeah you banana benders are crazy. Averice also put on a wicked show, proving to us that Punk is definitely NOT dead. We played a crazy set and managed to launch the crowd into a dancing frenzy which was awesome to see.

Big thanks to everyone who came along to see us and thanks to the wicked bands we played with – Averice we await your tour to Sydney!

After the set we hung around for more cheap drinks and a few games of pool (It’s called Fat Louies Pool hall for a reason). After a nervous game against Ardie, I finally managed to sink one ball and avoided the dreaded nudie run (that’s a universal rule right?)

Next up was the all ages gig in the valley. After some very tasty mexican food and a stop to the music store so Ardie could get some drum sticks; the boys did their stuff at an afternoon gig at the Hive… though Ardie did get a little too excited and started bleeding over his snare drum! Bigups to “Worst Case Scenario” and “Drawcard” for playing with us – you guys rocked! Be sure to checkout their myspaces – both bands are currently on tour and will be playing in Sydney at SFX this Saturday 28th of August and also the Annandale Hotel on Sunday 29th of August.

After the Hive gig, we had to swing past Bunnings to pickup a present. Can I just say; have you ever seen 4 musicians try and put a 40kg BBQ onto a trolly? Massive fail.

That evening TeddiB was kind enough to put on a BBQ for us. Can I just say; BEST STEAKS EVER. Oh and Paul’s salad was nice too …… the rest of the night consisted of Ke$ha, beers, meat, pool and an incredibly cold swimming pool. Thanks TeddiB for a great night

We are all home safe and sound now and reality has kicked in (arrgg). Big thanks to everyone who supported us, bought merch and danced like crazy! Our next tour will most likely see us head south to the likes of Melbourne and Adelaide – so keep your eyes peeled!
