We've been so busy getting ready that I didnt plug the gigs this week. Saturday in Rockford IL and Sundy a double header with Rev Raven and The Chain Smoking Altarboys in Grafton Wisconsin.
Important info - last year on our way to the Crossroads Fest in Rockford we got waaay lost due to the GPS not having the place listed, ditto google maps and ditto the locals!
This year, Steve Jones has got maps, GPS and Google sorted so heres some extra help just in case you get lost or we do :-)
Ok its about time we got a tour name and actually announced it. Here we go.
Rich emailed me to let me know he's been spinning Dirty Work on his sunday morning show.
Cheers Rich, thanks for sending us out over the ether waves :-)
Mr Wizard and M'self here want to to send a shout out to our very own site contributor m'sieur Terry A. Lyndon. Bet you didnt know that in addition to being quite the illustrator, he's quite the arranger of beautiful melodic, 'alt' pop sort of stuff.
Mr wizard digs it for the musicality, I dig it because Terry's got a sharp sharp acid etched wit. I liked his phrasing so much that I'm pretty sure it's infected at least one of our own songs :-)
I still dig his line 'I wanna get it, but I just don't get it'. Yeah it looks simple but it ain't.
Terry has recently remastered some previous tracks and there's a new EP in the works.
Another undiscovered Australian Gem.
YAAAWN...omg what hour is this? Is this...when...normal people are...getting up?
Ye gods. Oh crap. I have to get up too.
You know that thing about bands having street teams and layers of management? Well not so much. Because: new music business (and raspberry's to you matey).
In between renting vans and checking emails at 3am (local Sydney time) the night slips away and I'm linked to the US midwest once more by technology.
Of course, the people I speak to are in daylight. They're rational. they had coffee. Lunch. found a parking spot.
I'm crawling through the intertubes of the web via Skype, ever so gently hallucinating from being awake at a weird hour. I worry that I am coming across a little....strangely
Here comes the dawn. Vegemite toast and Tea are the order of business.
Oh yeah, and Danny wants a new song. That's cool, we wrote a new one for him, but now he wants a duet with DC as well. Yikes.
Not too sachharine, something with a nice melody, where their voices will work well together. Hmmm....
Should I reconsider agreeing to things at 4:30am? Have we bitten off more than we can chew?
What are we, the brill building?
It's Dawn and I am powered by Yeast Extract and Irish Breakfast Tea!
