Hi everyone
It's been a while since I last wrote a blog there has been so much going on lately!
As you all probably know we have started the Across the Great Divide Tour with our good mates, Powderfinger. So far the tour has been awesome, it feels great to be playing to so many of you enthusiastic folks!
I'd have to say the tent shows have been my favorite so far. It rained so hard in Coffs Harbour just before we were due to go on and the whole place was like a mud bath. Big props if you were there and I hope you had your gum boots on!
We have this new rule on the tourbus that we will pull over to get our photos taken with anything big, as is an awesome Aussie tradition. So far we have photos with the big banana, the big apple, the big golden guitar and the big fruitasaurus. Not bad so far and we aren't even half way through the tour yet!
We are on our way to Mildura at the moment for a show tonight then onto Bendigo and Ballarat. There are a few sore heads getting around today as we had a few drinks last night for somebody's birthday.
As you can imagine we have been doing a lot of traveling in our 12 seater van which has been pretty funny at times. If a trip is meant to take 3 hours it seems to end up taking us 6 hours, for some reason and we just cant work it out! We think maybe our tour manager keeps getting his stiletto stuck under the accelerator!
It has been really nice getting back out and playing some reigonal
shows again as we haven't done any for some time. They are amongst my favourite shows to play as there is always a really good feeling to them.
Well until next time, and hopefully it wont be this long between drinks!
See you out there somewhere.
Cheers,
Chris!
