We are very much looking forward to playing Live Spark this Sunday afternoon at The Powerhouse at New Farm. We are more looking forward to be playing with The Boat People. Montpelier go on stage at 3pm and The Boat People go on after that. It’s completely free! Come and join us for a most wonderful of Sunday afternoons.
While we were in Los Angeles last year recording our EP with Kevin Augunas, one day before going into the studio, Kevin decided to take us on a climb up to the Hollywood sign. At the time we didn’t realise that it was ludicrously illegal to climb up to the sign and that it was freaking difficult to get to.
After hiking for a couple of hours we finally reached the sign, bruised and bleeding, only to set off motion detectors and an alarm. We stayed up there long enough to get some footage of us sitting on the first “L” before a park ranger came out and chased us away.
If Kevin wasn’t seven feet tall and didn’t pioneer the way through the scrub we probably wouldnt’ have made it. It was ridiculously good fun though and no one in LA would actually believe we went up there.
While we were on tour in Sydney we played an acoustic gig at this little bookstore cafe. Greg and Dave went to find a place to do vocal warmups and stumbled upon an awesome room in the downstairs part of the shop. We felt inspired to record a song down there. So here’s Start a War in a Bookstore.
After touring our EP down the East Coast of Australia for the last two weeks we got home yesterday. We’ll post about the tour a little later but this one’s all about the Brisbane launch.
To each one of the more than 450 people who made it along to The Zoo on March 5 we’d like to thank you for making our EP launch an amazing night for us. Thanks to Timothy Carroll and Tin Can Radio for playing some incredible music on the night as well.
Here are some photos and a few videos from the show. Andrew Tallon and Elleni Toumpas were great behind the lens as always. Check out their work!
