Two best sets of the tour to date ; rocking at the Metro with Augie March and then packing up and whipping down to the beautiful Vanguard ( kinda of like the muppet theatre ) . Rockin' Sarah Mcleod and Mick Skelton , the one armed hand drummer , opened the Vanguard show with a stylish ass kicking .

Must have been something in the air because both shows saw the band at it's finest . Maybe We Should Just Go Home is slipping free of earths surly bonds and getting right cosmic ( comic ?) . I guess staying up youtubing JIMI HENDRIX and PHIL ESPOSITO until 7 :45 am is good for the soul .The rhythm section showcased some of it's best work to date and Joel was burning it up like leaves in his own back yard .
With both shows done , gear packed away and fatigue sweated out , it only seemed right to head down to Kings Cross and check out some great players at The Iguana ------with an increasingly frisky Elk one car behind chucking bottles of water at us , bellowing the whole effing way . Kids .
Off in the morning to Melbourne .
No sleep til Hammersmith !
And today we are calling this place Hammersmith . G' day and g' night .

First of all, how do you get an elk in a car. Secondly, never, ever give him stuff he can throw. I don't suppose he's been near a kangaroo yet?

You get him in the car by leading him into it with a trail of equipment questions... " how much is a new Gibson 5 string MotherF****r ? Oh really ? ... Like we give a ratz ass . Be carefull though , he can turn anything into a weapon , and as far as wildlife goes , no roos yet , but he did see his first huntsmen spider today . High above his head on the ceiling of our Bridge st. deli in Melbourne ... nearly put him off his lunch . Nearly .

Finally saw the huntsman eh? He told me he'd kill the first one he saw wtih a broom (my preferred weapon when faced with the devils) but sounds more like he whimpered and went back to his feed...

It'll be great fun when he sees - and then chases - the kangaroos. Might have to go to a golf course to find them though...
