US tour

Hey folks.

We need help. As we've mentioned before we're planning on doing a tour in the US in June/July (1 month or so)

But we don't know many promoters/venues/bands so if you want to book a show or know anything that might help us, then please get in touch. It all depends on YOUR help! We're from the cold north and the US is a giant jungle. Where are you Tarzan??

Please get in touch if YOU can help!

Thanks alot guys.

The drought has broken BUT.....

Now I have to go and buy a clothes dryer. Those of you that aren't Aussies may not realise that in this part of the world every house has an outside clothesline.

And no, we are not desperately on the bones of our bum.

I remember in 1995 when I lived in Boulder, CO, USA for a while most people I met had mild heart attacks when I told…
