Last night in Brisbane was a perfect combination – of shitty circumstances.
We both got sick in New Zealand (hey, it’s SUMMER where we live!) and Mark was fighting to not lose his voice, my guitar broke a tuner set-screw so the hi “E” string was detuning by a flat third (!!!) and then my backup guitar was having bridge issues, so wouldn’t stay in tune… argh. I’m hacking up enough oysters to repopulate what BP murdered.
.
Tonite is Melbourne, and though I’m feeling confident, we’re both on tons of herbs & sudafed. Fingers crossed.

¡Update!
i believe we’ve redeemed ourselves, my gtr sitch is back on course & ML sounded great tonite. Onward & outward (my gut, that is).

Glad you’re feeling better! Maybe lay off the oysters for a while.
The latest uploads to YouTube were from someone who doesn’t know the names of the songs. It’s real cute.

I think since BP killed off all the oysters in the Gulf Coast region I would have little trouble laying off of them.

Did you hear they’re paying cleanup workers $12/hour to bake in those suits? Classy.

You both have most definitely redeemed yourselves.
Tonight’s Sydney show was sublime!
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!
