It was some journey to get to Rome in time. After leaving Austria at
1.00am straight after the Festival show, we had almost 1000km to go to
get to our final show in Rome by the next afternoon. As luck would have
it, a large truck overturned on the highway outside of the city,
spilling the cars it was transporting on to the road too. This meant
two hours stuck in the van a few hundred kilometres from the venue, and
also that we were very late for our soundcheck.
Despite this bad
start, the show in Rome was a perfect end to the tour, with excellent
promotion ensuring a great crowd were in attendance and they were not
shy to stand up the front of the stage and go crazy. We barely realised
that we played 22 songs!
We visited the Colosseum after the show
in the early hours of the morning, taking in the last moments of
madness before the tour came to a close. Well, at least the part before
the 24 hours on a plane rolled around.
Now we're back home in
Melbourne and we thank everyone who came out to see us in Austria,
Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Italy and Poland, whether it was for the
first or fifth time. Thank you also to those who've followed the blog
who were too far away to come to see us play, especially Miguel and
Matthias.
We'll continue to post photos and videos from the tour here in the next few weeks, so keep checking back.
