Brisbane Wrap Up!

Wow, what a crazy week and a half it's been. We kicked off the tour good and proper with some snappy shows in Lismore and Byron Bay. Our good friend Rohan caught some amazing footage of the show in Lismore, which you can see uploaded on our Dooom Vision channel here - www.youtube.com/user/DooomVision

A pretty incredible angle.
And in Byron Bay, they gave us all hotel rooms above the Great Northern where we performed. We proceeded to get mangled (well i did), trash the hotel room and give Wazza a seriously bodgy tattoo of a cactus in the process, hehehe.

mmm, sterility. I also got a fresh tatt - this time from a stranger that i met in the pub in Lismore - Tricky! Who turned out to be an excellent inker. Photos later.

We also gave an interview for a cool online tv channel - vive cool city. I hadn't heard of them before, but their channel is pretty cool - check it out here http://www.vivecoolcity.com/ Not sure when our episode will go up, but it should be good.

Then of course we headed for Brisbane to start our first season of Good Clean Fun at Metro Arts!


We started with a bang, thats for sure - first night SOLD OUT! Each show was special in it's own way, and it got tighter and tighter as we went on - can't wait to slam it again in Sydney and then Melbourne! Thanks to everyone that came to see us, danced wildly with us in West End afterwards, and of course thanks to George and Jenny for having us in their beautiful house, thanks to Julz for being an awesome mate, and thanks to Steve, Sophie, bee and Amy for being wonderful show crew.


You can read two reviews of the show here http://criticalmassblog.net/?p=609 - "It isn’t every day you get to see a performance  where the star is a penis. " hahaha
and the other review - http://criticalmassblog.net/?p=644 , well i think from her tone, that while she may have been confused and confronted, the main thing was that she was just a little, dare i say, jealous? Hahahah!


Meanwhile, we continued filming everything and everyone for our upcoming documentary, tentatively titled "The Last Circus Ever...". What do you reckon? And possibly the best moment of the entire tour so far, was when we BROKE INTO MUTHERFUCKING DREAMWORLD!

now that was a fun day - we had a whole plan worked out - i looked it up on the satellite feature of google maps, found the backstage gate, and worked out a whole story about running late for a gig.
However, on our way round the back, we found an open gate and simply walked in! YES!

All of the sweet waterslides, rollercoasters, giant drop and the claw later, we headed home in the remains of the sunshine for another night of weird fucked up circus. West End rules by the way - i danced my arse off to some weird hybrid dub music until 5 in the morning (the mushies helped i think), then hung out with the super babe Callum from Mutiny - the best aussie band ever.

And now, as we pack up and say farewell to Brisbane we look to the future - this week we join the Boho Ball in Bathurst, Kathoomba and Sydney - chck out their first webisode at their website!

Much love to you all,
hopefully see you somewhere along the road
