In my defence you will see from the next few posts that we have been extremely busy and to be honest during my little amounts of time off i was more into the idea of relaxing and catching up with friends than doing nything that involved an sort of thought, so for that i apologise.
I believe last time i checked in we were just finishing up the European tour right?? C'mon i can think of everything around here you know : )
So off to Sydney we went via Singapore for the first show of the V Fest Australia shows.
First up though was the Mtv Australia Award show.
Which was presented by Pete Wentz of Fall Out boy and featured an appearance by scary early 90's throwback Vanilla Ice
The band also won an Mtv NZ award for the "Always Bloody Awesome Live Band"
Next up was the first show at V Fest in Sydney Showgrounds
Also on the bill for these shows over the various stages were Kaiser Chiefs, Snow Patrol, Madness, Razorlight, Elbow, Duffy as well as previous Killers opening acts Louis XiV and Howling Bells
Speaking of Louis Xiv, is it just me or is Jason(Lead Singer) starting to model himself more and more on a cartoon version of the Joker
Next up was a couple of days off on the Gold Coast before Melbourne and Perth rounding out the festivals.
After all that we were off to New Zealand for a show at Auckland Arena, unfortunately due to some family reasons we had to postpone the Auckland show from a week previous and even more unfortunately had to cancel the show in Christchurch due to shipping times for our gigs in the US being a problem but im pretty sure we will be returning to this fantastic country in the near future and will make up this show. as for the Auckland show, as NZ is such a remote country the cost in shipping our video wall out was too prohibitive to allow the promotor to make any money at all so we decided to make something locally out of the available lighting etc that could be provided locally. I think it worked out ok in the end
