hair extensions, meth and the plaza

Spent the weekend doing some more interstate shows with Wolf & Cub, this time in melbourne and adelaide... Reinforced to ourselves that 12 hours of waiting around isn't that great when you're staying at a 1/2 star hotel that smells like soap. 

All this time hanging around in adelaide gave us a chance to stroll hindley st discussing the finer points of life, like the effects of a meth habit on the weight of our cab driver (he claims 270kg, later reduced to 250). Kerridge picked up a nice 70c hair accessory from a variety store, i think it helped to increase our cred on the street, that and me making all calls on a hands free earpiece.

The hairpiece had quite a bit of buzz around adelaide but sadly it didn't translate when we got back home...

We've finished pre production for the next EP and are in the studio next wednesday to start a week of recording. Its just occurred to me that all the tracks we've chosen are about bad relationships... hadn't recognised this recent pessimism until now but i think it works well because the music is quite the opposite. Maybe the title of the record will be a nod to the divergence of lyrical and musical moods, or maybe The Holidays II if we could be lazy enough. Doubtful.

goodbye

wow a meth addiction really does seem the perfect (and most practical)fat blaster ... thanks for the tip. but i find it hard to believe that a hair piece doesnt translate nationally (if not internationally!)
thanks for keeping us updated :)
ps ... whats wrong with smelling like soap? ;)
