The sound of holidays

So right now we're developing a sound for an album next year. I've been in my bedroom with a laptop and some hungry ants gnawing through xylophone bars. Kerridge is holed up on a house boat with an MPC2500 sampler, some Eagles and some Jamaican dub. Will is taking photos of his girlfriend dressed as a baby, holding a giant lollipop and Alex is drinking while making some new songs for the Drones.

Immaculate Confection pt 2










The double header tour is a great idea because when you get your bus bogged at 3am while trying to drive up a sand dune you have at least 8 people to push it out. Its also good because you get two separate groups of music fans at each show, except at one regional show where we had 3 groups - the bikers, the young couple and the dero calling out for AC/DC.

Best shows were probably: Brisbane, where we tried out a rave vibe with glow sticks and a Justice record; Sunshine Coast, where we got really sweaty in a little club then did black magic with some candles on the beach; Melbourne, where we were a vampire, a mummy, a witch and a killer clown - with various results; and of course Sydney, where we made the annandale stage smell really nice and then destroyed it.
We thank you all so much for coming to any of the shows on the tour, its such a nice feeling to play on the other side of the country and see a bunch of people who've gone out of their way and paid money to see some young bands like us, you're way ahead of your time...
