Friends!

Australia! The beating you guys are taking is so tragic I can't think of one single funny thing to say. I am coming to you to stand in solidarity and hopefully play some nice music that will get your mind off the heat and arsonists.

I'll be joined by my steady right hand, Mr. Daniel "Danish" Brantigan, who will be joining me on the trumpet and the world famous EVI. Many of you have already taken in his power and felt your life change forever. Oh, the joke is too easy.

But what I haven't yet shown to you is my secret weapon, the guy who inspires me to sweat more and more each show, star of every band dressing room on Broadway--the fabulous Mr. Matt "Get your get right" Hankle! Hanks will be beating the skins and blowing your mind with his sticking technique. Then he'll play the drums! Wowie do not miss these shows we are going to rock out with your socks on!

And yay yay yay! At this show we have brand new t-shirts, some amazing posters, gorgeous one of a kind prints from the "Pull Me Out Alive" video shoot.

Most exciting is the new music! We have made a five song EP called Mexican Teenagers and it will look spiffy and be for sale at each and every show. Get em before they're gone!

We are so excited to be playing the first series of shows with An Horse. Kathleen Cooper and I must be distant relatives because my mother's maiden name was Cooper. An Horse is such a great band and I will be in the audience singing along! I wear a bowling club pin from Darwin on my bag that Kate got me from an op shop. Oh--and Kate, I still have that Missy Higgins poster of yours. The one where she looks like she's praying and you wrote a thought bubble out of her head that said "how can I win Kate's heart." Yeah. Just wanted to let you know I still have it.

EU--you are next. I'll deal with you when the time is right.

Can't wait to see everybody. It's like going to the biggest summer camp in the world for me.

Byee!
