GO WEST
YKB journey west! Like Christopher Columbus setting sail for America! Like cowboys riding into the sunset! Or like the opposite of traveling to New Zealand! We boarded a plane for Adelaide! (So i guess that is more like South-South West or maybe just South West...)
This part of the Immaculate Confection Tour took us to Adelaide, Perth, Bunbury and Fremantle. The most exciting thing about this tour is that we are travelling to cities where we have never played before. So needless to say, we were keen to immerse ourselves in the language and culture of these foreign lands.
To my surprise we didn't need passports at the airport and check in was as usual as a domestic flight. We landed in Adelaide around noon on Thursday night and headed to our hotel. What! A hotel?? Crazy huh? We are used to sleeping on the floor at friends houses.
Sean had to double check if we did actually have rooms booked or whether we were just going to camp out in the lobby.
Thank you to all the Adelaide fans, we were pleasantly surprised with the turn out and i think we played the best gig of the tour so far. The next morning we flew to Perth at 6am. This is an unnatural time of the morning and it should be made illegal.
Perth is a lovely city, the people are nice, the streets clean and they have this falafel store called Maoz, its awesome, you have to go there! After a good helping of falafel, we played a gig at the Amplifier Bar in the city. Thanks to everyone who came along and especially to those who danced up the front. (Note - I just spent half an hour trying to find a Star Wars quote that was something along the lines of "we will meet again". And i came up with nothing. Please don't ask me why. I will never have that time back.)
Bunbury! or Funbury as we like to call it has an awesome bakery. It also has a lookout tower that Sean and I both climbed. I'll show you the photos some time.
I would like to thank the Holidays for being the majority of the audience at the gig. We actually had a lot of fun and got to play some old songs. Michael and I were keen to do an AC/DC cover, but Sean and Charles said no.
The best part of the evening was when we had to rescue Alex and Andrew, from the Holidays, who had managed to bog to tour van in a sandune. Please refer the attached photo. It was a serious bonding session for the two bands and i think we came out of the experience with better knowledge of each other, in particular - never let Alex and Andrew drive near a beach.
The final show was in Fremantle. That town is fantastic! I want to live there. It has a river, a beach and the Little Creatures Brewery. Fanntastic. We played at the Norfolk Basement, where it is rumored the Beatles have played.
Thankyou to Fire! Santa Rosa Fire!, Boys Boys Boys and Tracksuit for supporting us on these shows and also for lending us gear. Hope to see you all soon.╨
Thanks for reading. Im going to go find that Star Wars quote.
