Please, Wellington, please!
Which is to say: if you are in Wellington then please come to our gig at Happy this Friday. We're playing with the Chandeliers and Bachelorette so that's three great bands on one night (if I do say so myself) and the Reduction Agents play the same venue the following night. We are surprisingly friendly, come and say hello.
The South Island was great fun and the band seems to have got to the stage where we can jump around being maniacs and still play well, rather than having to choose one or the other (if any South Islanders gig patrons want to write comments to confirm or deny this then that would be great!). Dunedin was a little quiet - ARC not quite what it used to be, but still a good place to get food and hang out at a gig. We shot plenty more footage for a video (Harry has high-falluting ideas of making a tour diary, but I suspect that Hi-8 falls a little short of industry-standard.
Back in Christchurch, I also introduced to the joys of scrabble-with-dirty-words, in which extra points are only given for smutty words like "arsewink" ... I will leave the rest to your imaginations. Needless to say, our kind Christchurch host, Flip Grater (singer/vegetarian/rdu traffic something or other), was disturbed at some points, though by the end, she was giving as good as she got. I should also mention the Undercurrents, who were an awesome band to tour with. Who knew that there were so many nice musicians about? I guess that cliche of the arrogant rock star only comes into play once you meet bands that are actually commercially successful!
