With the great success of our ATP shows and the Brisbane Goma show, the Laughing Clowns May shows look like being something pretty special. It has been just awesome to get such depth of a positive reception from those shows. The audiences, critics, and our peers, like ATP festival curators The Bad Seeds, thought the band was one of the big highlights of ATP. The Brisbane Goma show was huge with a party time atmosphere. I spoke to many people, like Chris Walsh (ex Moodists) who made the point .. you guys were fantastic.. and ...you know me, I would the first to fucking ell you if it wasn’t .. (rah rah rah) . And I have no doubt that many shared that view. In other words it has been great that people have received us on our worth -on the performances -not just for the nostalgia of the reformation. That doesn’t mean that for many old fans to see the band was a special moment, as it was for us. The other great thing that happened is ATP gave many new younger people an opportunity to see the band, and for many in that group the responsee was great too.

We are really looking forward to the opportunity the 3 May shows give us to show the band in more depth. The sets will be longer with more songs. Tim Pittman Feel/ ATP has told us that already the tickets sales are really good, so if you are thinking of going to either the Melbourne, The Forum 1st May, or the Sydney ones, , dont’ muck around too long to book, especially with the Sydney ones that being a smaller more limited capacity venue. Love to see youse all there
