And then there was music . . . .

Chris, our tour manager and promoter, has been playing keys, accordion, and singing in Tiger Saw for the tour. He's also playing his owns sets as Alps of New South Wales.

Tiger Saw and Alps played the 2 am free show at Pony in Melbourne, which turned into a rowdy drunkfest pretty quickly.

Gray, from Flying Scribble, sat in with Ray for a couple of songs. She also lent me her cymbals for both shows in Melbourne since my touring cymbals are crap. Those ladies are rad!

Castanets in the vines

These are our lovely hosts in Adelaide.

Cute.

At the Exeter Hotel in Adelaide.

We had a 13 hour drive from Canberra to Adelaide.

Castanets had some groupies at our first show in Canberra at the Front Gallery.

Crystal-Fair and her brother, Wolf, came to our show in Canberra. It was so nice to see friendly faces in the audience for our first gig.

Shoab opened for us and let us stay at his place after the show. He and his wife, Kate, were amazingly generous and fed us delicious breakfast at midnight.
