And that’s tour, 𝗪𝗥𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗗!
Bit of a read here, so grab a coffee ☕ and come back to catch up with us!
We can’t believe it’s over already, but our very first Australian tour with ‪@khanbandofficial‬ wrapped up this past weekend, closing out at The Bergy Bandroom on Saturday night to a mind-blowing crowd, 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 shy of sell-out. Next time… 😉
We want to thank each and every beautiful soul that came out to watch us play throughout this tour. The experience of meeting, interacting with and performing for such a passionate and loyal fanbase in different parts of our country where this band has never been before was one of the most fruitful and fulfilling experiences we’ve ever had on this journey, in our whole lives even, and we have all of 𝗬𝗢𝗨 to thank for making that possible. This chapter is something we will cherish and look back on so fondly in the years to come. We expect to look back at this as a marker for the beginning of much bigger prospects in our future, for which plans are already taking shape…
We especially want to thank our tour buddies, Khan, for facilitating what could easily be considered a 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 first tour experience for us. Without a word of a lie, these boys are some of the easiest, most genuine and intelligent people we’ve ever met, who write sick music and put on an absolute banger live show that 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 can get around. Not to mention, these lads have helped us begin to understand what touring life is all about, and the nuggets of information and advice they have offered along the way have been invaluable. We expect to keep this knowledge with us forever, taking it along and expanding on it at every show, tour and adventure we embark on in future. So, thank you, boys. We will miss the times we’ve shared but will look back so warmly on it all, and we wish you the absolute best of luck on your European adventures beginning this month! If you’re in Europe and can attend a show these guys put on, we 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗟𝗬 recommend you grab yourself a ticket and see for yourself what all the fuss is about… 🤯❤️🤟
Naturally, a huge thank you goes out to The Bergy Bandroom for Saturday night’s awesome event. Truly a stunning new venue on Sydney Road in Melbourne’s Brunswick, the room was one of our favourites of all time with spectacular sound, a great space and such friendly and learned staff.
We’d also like to thank ‪@protoplanetmusic‬ for opening the night for us in perfect style, and to ‪@dearthieves8959‬ for painting us perhaps the most impressed we’ve 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 while watching a support act. We highly recommend you check those guys out… sometimes you just 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 that a group will go the distance. Do yourself a favour and follow both of these bands on their social media and streaming platforms 📈
Last but most definitely not least, we’d like to send out the 𝗕𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗦𝗧 thank you to Daniel of ‪@axlentertainment8658‬ for being such a pleasure to work with throughout this tour. As Khan's manager, Dan virtually organised and facilitated this entire thing from top to bottom, not to mention setting up and running an incredible lights show for both Khan and ourselves every evening. Throughout this tour, Dan gave us instructions which we followed to a T. He responded to our (many) annoying questions and comments and was extremely accommodating of every query or opinion, always willing to make compromises to suit us and to help and assist us in any way he could. For this whole endeavour, we acknowledge that we truly have Daniel to thank for pretty much all of it. With the amount of knowledge, passion, ambition and humility this man has, not to mention being one of the friendliest dudes you’ll ever meet… we know Dan has got a massively successful career coming his way. Thank you, mate ❤️
If you've made it this far, you're probably one of our biggest supporters. We thank you, and appreciate you taking the time to read this. We'll leave you with the undisputed favourite of this tour’s setlist: the last section of Organic Hard Drive ( • Lucid Planet - Organic... , which blew the roof off of every one of these tour shows. Despite encountering a fatal error with one of our GoPro cams (big sad 😢), this one angle we do have is a great perspective of the band but mostly a great perspective of our Melbourne crowd; one of the 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 live audiences this band has ever had the pleasure of performing for.
We’ll be back with more soon! Stay tuned for something 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 dropping within the next week which we hope will somewhat fill the void of FOMO that our international fans may be feeling, being unable to experience these tour shows with us. We know you’ll love it, so watch this space! ❤️❤️❤️
