Upside down, a year ago.

Last year I was lucky enough to spend 2 weeks in Oz with the band I have been with for the last 3 years. Usually I am the TM, but since this run was going to be a hectic mash of festivals, trains, planes, automobiles, rented back line, and 20 minute changeovers I was going along with the strict responsibility of back line only. The wizards staff would be wielded by the one and only Gavin Tempany, who, by offering us a daily Tempany Report made sure the wheels never once came off the track. Great job, boys!

First festival started out with a long drive out of Melbourne up (down?) the coast. As Dave Chappelle would say, this was a ill house.


My friend Nik Cee tipped me off to the fact that if you return these inside the first half hour that no additional costs are incurred. Only problem is that it gets harder to watch the clock as the night progresses. Thanks for the good times mate!


New Years Eve 2010/11 in Tazmania. Our people took us to the harbour in Hobart where a sail boat race was finishing. Nothing like starting the last day of the year by checking out some cool boats and eating fish n chips for breakfast.

Only thing cooler than the harbour itself was the view of it from the top of this mountain. The drive up is not for the faint of heart.

NYE from the crows nest at the Falls Festival. That's Peaches wearing a whole bunch of boobs.

2am shuttle back to the hotel, 430am lobby call to fly to Perth. View from behind the sunglasses.

There's some things you don't imagine doing, like going for a dip in the Indian Ocean on 01/01.

The S1W's holding down the fort.

Gruesome threesome.

Nice to be back in a club where we can have a command center again.

Brisbane, the calm before the storm.

Nothing will make you feel like Jeff Goldblum like a couple of lizards coming at you.

Last show of the tour, Sydney.

As delicious as it looks, and just like the picture! While everyone else went to an after party, our driver (ex Rose Tattoo roadie!) took Gavin, myself, and our local promoter rep on a scenic night time tour of Sydney. Apparently no sightseeing tour is complete with out Pies 'n' Peas!

Sydney Harbour. I think the Opera House was to my right?

Tempany and the gang.

Well, yeah!
