SPIN!SPIN!SPIN! TOUR ROLLS ON AND HITS TASSIE THEN GEELONG THIS WEEKEND
With one week of the Australian tour already gone I'm pleased to report that the extended band line-up is working better than any of us could have hoped. Anna Burley has fitted right in and set about making all those duets from all those records totally personal and convincing. And the Killjoys sound as good as ever. So nice to walk on after hearing all those fine songs. After so many shows with just myself and Barclay through Europe it's wonderful to hear all our new songs with the big guitars and upright bass. And for those wondering what the hell I was talking about with Barclay playing the magic box (or the cajon) we have managed to work it into the Sure Thing's set as there are plenty of songs where it works just fine so you can sort of get the best of both worlds. The new record continues to sell well which means that the limited edition bonus disc is almost finished and we are just about ready to go back to the single jewel case version - which in some ways seems a shame, but hell - that's how it was intended to be and I'm sure the bonus stuff will be available down the track and at least people can now hear the record the way we actually recorded it. Also, we are looking at an Australian regional run in August with just myself and Barclay (and the box!) so if anyone has got any good ideas for shows, please let us know.
