Hello to our awesome family of fans!
Just firing you all an update as we've had some sweet times and good news come our way over the past few months.
We arrived home last week after 5 weeks touring Australia where we hope we made a bunch of new fans. We toured with two awesome bands, Dukes of Windsor and Trial Kennedy, and we got up to plenty of on and off-stage antics in traveling across Queensland, NSW, ACT, Victoria, Tasmania and WA. We drove over 8000kms, got attacked by a flock of angry cockatoos, checked out a porn supermarket, bought fireworks in August, Matt got his Facebook account deleted, heard our song The Letter on Aussie radio for the first time and had 16 people on stage at once for an epic jam. Thanks to everyone who came along to the shows - we'll be back soon for more in September and October, so stay tuned for details!
While we were in Oz we got news that we had been nominated for
8 awards at the Vodafone NZ Music Awards and our song The Letter had been made a finalist for a Silver Scroll. Craziness. To have our first release do so well in NZ is just amazing for us, especially since we're babies in this industry (most of the songs on the album were written while most of the band were 18 or 19). This week coming we're traveling to Christchurch to the Silver Scroll awards so stay tuned for the result there - the award is voted for by all of NZ's musicians so it's a huge honour just to make the final five!
We also had news that we won a Myspace Music Choice Award for best NZ rock band, which was voted for by you guys, so thank you so so much. We also received the most votes of any NZ artist so we win a myspace promo prize as well - stoked! This is gonna help us out heaps, so we really appreciate your help.
Another way you can help us out is by voting for us in the Vodafone People's Choice Award. This is one of the awards given away at the NZ Music Awards, so it's a biggie! Check out our campaign video here:
