THESE TOUR DIARIES WERE ORGINALLY PUBLISHED BY THE MUSIC DOT COM
FRIDAY 10 APRIL – DARWIN
TO BE HONEST IT WAS A PRETTY ROUGH MORNING AND IT DIDN’T HELP THAT THEY REFUSED TO SERVE US ANY DRINKS ON THE FLIGHT
WE WERE SO EXCITED TO PLAY IN DARWIN FOR THE FIRST TIME SO WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME PREPARING OURSELVES MENTALLY
IT WAS SO GREAT TO ADD OUR NAME TO THE RAILWAY CLUB WALL BESIDE SOME OTHER GREAT AUSTRALIAN BANDS
THE DARWIN CROWD HONESTLY SEEMED PRETTY CONFUSED AT THE START OF OUR SET MAYBE THEY DON’T REALLY GET A LOT OF ART ROCK BANDS UP THERE ANYWAY AFTER THE FIRST SONG THEY GOT IT AND WE ALL HAD LITERALLY THE BEST TIME TOGETHER
THE BEARDS DID A REALLY GREAT JOB AND SANG A LOT ABOUT BEARDS AND EVERYONE REALLY ENJOYED IT
NATHANIEL BEARD FELL OFF THE STAGE AND HAD TO GET PATCHED UP BY THEIR TOUR MANAGER APPARENTLY HE DOES THAT A LOT EVER SINCE THEY STARTED DRINKING FACEY MCSTUBBLINGTONS
THEN WE FOUND OUT THAT RAGE WAS PLAYING OUR NEW MUSIC VIDEO SO WE ALL HAD A CELEBRATE NO ONE REMEMBERS WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT
SATURDAY 11 APRIL – DARWIN
TO BE HONEST SATURDAY MORNING WAS A BIT ROUGH AND WE NEARLY HAD TO CALL AMBULANCES FOR OURSELVES BECAUSE OF ALL THE DRINKS THE NIGHT BEFORE
WE THOUGHT THE BEST THING TO DO WOULD BE TO GET SOME FRESH AIR AND HAVE A RELAX IN NATURE
WHILE SHE INITIALLY DID NOT WANT TO LET US ON THE BOAT, THE TOUR GUIDE WAS REALLY GREAT WE PRETTY MUCH JUST BOBBED AROUND FOR AN HOUR WHILE SHE OFFERED BITS OF MEAT TO THE CROCODILES ARMED WITH NOTHING BUT A STICK
SHE SAID THAT IF THE BOAT TIPPED OVER THE SMARTEST THING WE COULD DO WOULD BE TO SWIM AWAY FROM THE LIFE JACKETS AS CROCODILES ARE ATTRACTED TO BRIGHT COLOURS
SHE EXPLAINED TO US THAT THEY DIDN’T REALLY BOTHER CARRYING A FIRST AID KIT BECAUSE IF A CROCODILE PULLS YOU IN YOU’RE PRETTY MUCH DONE SON
WE’D SMUGGLED A COUPLE OF DRINKS ONTO THE BOAT SO WE WERE FEELING MUCH BETTER BY THIS STAGE AND WERE MAKING SOME GREAT JOKES FROM DOWN THE BACK OF THE BOAT THE TOUR GUIDE SAID THAT SHE REALLY REGRETTED LETTING US ON THE BOAT BUT IT WAS TOO LATE BY THAT STAGE HAHAHAHA GREAT JOB THE STIFFYS
WE POPPED INTO THE HUMPTY DOO PUB TO REFRESH OURSELVES BEFORE HEADING BACK TO THE RAILWAY CLUB TO GET READY FOR THE SECOND SHOW
WE HAD A REALLY GREAT SHOW BECAUSE THERE WERE HEAPS OF LADIES DANCING UP THE FRONT THAT HELPS US PLAY BETTER AND ALSO MAKES EVERY MAN BECOME VERY INTERESTED IN DANCING
ONE WOMAN IN THE FRONT ROW YELLED AT US WHEN KISSY KISSY FINISHED BECAUSE SHE SAID SHE WAS JUST ABOUT TO ORGASM SO YEAH THAT’S PRETTY NICE HOPEFULLY SHE WAS ABLE TO GET DONE WHAT SHE NEEDED TO GET DONE DURING THE NEXT SONG
EVERYBODY DID SOME GREAT GUITAR SOLOS THAT NIGHT SO WE CELEBRATED AND THEN THINGS GOT PRETTY CRAZY THAT NIGHT BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT ABSOLUTELY EVERYBODY IN DARWIN REALLY ENJOYS DRINKS SOMEONE RIPPED THE TOILET DOOR OFF
AFTER ENJOYING A FEW MORE DRINKS OURSELVES WE RETIRED TO THE BEARDS’ ACCOMMODATION BECAUSE THEY HAD A POOL NATHANIEL BEARD THREW HIS JOCKS UP ON THE ROOF SO ADAM DID AS WELL THEN NATHANIEL THREW HIS TOWEL ON THE ROOF AS WELL I WOULD HAVE JOINED IN BUT I DIDN’T HAVE A TOWEL OR JOCKS
APPARENTLY THE LADY THAT RUNS THE HOTEL WASN’T TOO HAPPY ABOUT ALL THE JOCKS ON THE ROOF THE NEXT DAY BUT THAT’S THE MUSIC BUSINESS AM I RIGHT HAHAHAHAHA GREAT JOKES GUYS
THE STIFFYS
