Our Old Mailouts

OK it wasn’t the whole band, but I definitely had to make a RUN for it twice during our last show, as the sickness caught up with me mid-set. Nice timing. Kellie got the same stomach bug too, but to be honest it was a small price to pay for such AN EXCELLENT TOUR!

Yes, we’re back, and Singapore rocked!! We ended up doing 5 shows, 2 large outdoor festival gigs, a big nightclub show, a punk rock kids show in a hall in the suburbs and an acoustic show in a library.. sounds weird huh? I guess it was a little, but it all seemed to make perfect sense while we were doing it.

We’re gonna get a ton of photos from every gig up on the site very soon. Pictures will speak a thousand words, really..! Kellie’s got a mini-tour diary thing up there now, just documenting the various misadventures more than anything else.

Also on the site is a pic of the Singapore Tour T Shirt – we managed to smuggle a few back, and we’re selling them at $25 post paid (duty free). Definitely a rare article – oof, a collector’s edition no less!

I’ve got a couple of solo shows this weekend with the legendary Paul Kelly – Friday at the Arena, Brisbane, and Saturday at The Trocadero, down the Gold Coast.

We’ve got a large, free, all ages show coming up in Brisbane soon, which will be fun!

*Darek – the Prezident.

*Dean – “I’m a male maid, a butler, a bit of an all rounder really”

*Kellie – Coffee, chilli, ciggers, voddy

*Tim – “Fire Hydrant Motherfucka”

ok that MTV voting thing is up and happening now (I was a bit ahead of myself) !

Go to it: http://www.mtvasia.com/TV/Shows/SoundCheck/index.html remember, we’re playing this Thursday at the Zoo in Brisbane – first Bris show as a full band for a very long time. We’ll be playing things both very
old and very new! (it’s 10 years since our first album FLOUR came out, (time flies when yr having fun) and we’ll be doing at least one song off it..)

*the feeder

How sweet is this: in preparation of our imminent Singapore jaunt, MTVAsia are now playing the feeder on the telly!

And it gets better, they’re running three new videos over there today (monday 10th) and getting audience to get online and vote for their fave, which will be added to their regular daytime playlist. Our STOPLESS video is one of the three.

So this is where we ask you, the feeder barmy army, to do us a big favour in return for our years of service enriching yr lives with our hard work, (ha!) and go to: http://www.mtvasia.com/TV/Shows/SoundCheck/index.html– go down to the bottom, choose “Stopless” and hit vote – it’s a piece of piss! If everyone takes 5 seconds to do it a few days in a row, we’ll clean up and dominate the screens of Asia, over all the R&B boy bands who currently rule the airwaves there apparently. Thanks.

We’ve now been chosen to headline the Asian Youth Music Festival in the middle of Singapore on sat 29th June, which features bands from all over Australasia. A whole lot more news on the trip very soon.

In the meantime check out: http://www.mtvasia.com andhttp://www.mtvasia.com/Video/NewClips/20020606001/index.html

Onto local stuff, we’re playing 2 shows next week in Brisbane, both with Sarah Dougher from America. First up at the Zoo on Thursday night, our first local full band show in a while, then on Saturday night at Ric’s, the Tim n Kel show – we’ll do our usual eclectic (read: “all over the damn place”) set of covers, feeder hits and rarities. Kel on the keys, me on the guitar.

Thanks to everyone who came and either smiled at us or yelled “Satan!” at us on the weekend in NSW – we love both those responses, so cheers!

*Darek had his “best gig ever” with us at Blaxland of all places.. you should a been there.

*Dean didn’t end up driving at all the whole trip. his excuse? “I’ve got a sore neck dude”.

OK remember, this weekend we’re in NSW but only quickly! Those dates again:

Thursday 30th May – Newcastle Uni
Friday 31st May ­ Kelts Bar with Decoder Ring
Sat 1st June ­ Hopetoun Hotel, Surry Hills with Faker and Neon

Dean got his license yesterday, first attempt, we’re all feeling very proud of him, so he’s gonna be driving the whole way tomorrow while the rest of us put our feet up in the back and throw peanuts at him, “blindfold” him with our hands and shout loud conflicting driving “tips” at him – it’s gonna be fun.

But our BIG news is that we’re OUTTA HERE. No, we ain’t breaking up just yet – we’re off on tour overseas – to Singapore! Screamfeeder take Asia – I like the sound of that. We set sail (on the plane) on June 25th and return two weeks later having “Conquered the East” – oof, so many quotations this week! we’re doing a few different gigs – check the site for more details. www.screamfeeder.com
