The show at the Barfly in Camden was our first in London and it went swimmingly. There was an ice fight toward the end of the set that no encore could have topped. Susie was endlessly harangued by fellow Australian expats. We even had burritos.
The drive to Liverpool was a shitfight. They have this thing called a bank holiday which basically just turns two hour drives into seven-hour drives and road rage escalates. We chose to drive to Liverpool on one such holiday and by the time we got there I had a cold sore, such was the extent of my cabin fever. The show itself, however, was a lot of fun.
The first show of the Dot-to-Dot festival was in Bristol. The artist check-in area was at the town docks so after we played we cashed our meal tickets for some of the most delicious pies ever, topped with mash peas and gravy. The show was really fun and we made some new friends with American expats, now hiding in Sweden “Dag for Dag” who invited us to participate in their street side shoe-art, see below:
We also ran to the centre of town in time to see the end of Crystal Stilts set which was awesomely loud.
After Bristol we went to Nottingham to play the second show of the Dot-to-Dot festival. We ate some really great burgers. Really great burgers.
Glasgow was one of the greatest shows of the tour so far. We checked out the city and saw this statue which has a Witch Hat atop its head year-round thanks to drunk pranksters who replace it as soon as it is removed by officials.
Our friend Danny came and took us for pizza and then his good pals “8-Ball” supported and melted all three of our faces. After the show we exchanged Seinfeld quotes with a friend Neily and then made it back to Danny’s where I broke his couch and Brisbane expat/good-egg Betty took a tumble down some hard concrete stairs. CAT scans ensued.
Cam out.
