Congrats, keep it up!

Thanks. These gigs will be the true test, or at least afterwards. I won't be sleeping at all the entire weekend, and I tend to (used to) rely on cigarettes to keep me awake/stave off boredom for a few minutes. Eek.

DivineMalice · May 8th, 2009, 03:00 AM

Really looking forward to the Melbourne show, got someone to fill in for me at work the next day so I'm going to let loose (working the weekends totally blows chunks).

Sarindria · May 12th, 2009, 05:04 PM

Payday today. Just checked my funds. I can afford to get to and into the gigs in Geelong/Melbourne, but no merch and no beer. It's going to be a very long weekend.

VredDoesLights · May 12th, 2009, 11:54 PM

Packing as I leave for Sydney 3am tomorrow morning..

Sarindria · May 13th, 2009, 12:00 AM

Sif pack. All you need is chewing gum and deoderant.
Then again, you're a roadie-type. You're expected to smell awful.

That's a smell you'd probably eat up.

Brendan at the Brisbane show walking around with his sweat towel, THAT was good smells

You know me too well. If only I could find a man who smelled like that and was as hairy as a troll. Maybe then I'd stop being a raging dyke.

he's probably referring to the fact that you could imbibe his smell through your gustatory rather than olfactory senses

Sarindria · May 13th, 2009, 04:44 AM

Thank you for clarifying the obvious.

So how was the gig peeps?

Oli-G · May 24th, 2009, 06:35 AM

Yes yes, the quiet is unusual... very disappointed I couldn't get down to the Espy... review, pics?

VredDoesLights · May 24th, 2009, 06:52 AM

My point of view on the gig would probably be an angry one, wait for some one else to put a review up. I was almost in tears because all my work I did that day all fucked out on me. More news at 9

Tim Charles · May 24th, 2009, 07:35 PM

First of all I'd just like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to support us at all our shows on our first ever Australian tour! We had such a fantastic time, and were consistently blown away by the crowds and enthusiasm for NeO all across the country. Also a big thank you to our sound engineer John Clayton and lighting engineer Josh (aka 'Vreddoeslights' on this forum), who both toured interstate with us for some legs of the tour and helped ensure we sounded and looked great up there on stage.

As to the Espy show-- it went great! There were a few issues with some of the lights short circuiting mid set, which meant Josh was running around trying to fix things mid show, but regardless I heard lots of extremely positive comments about the lighting which was great. Was awesome playing with Alarum who we've been fans of and friends with for quite some time... last time we played with those guys it was our 3rd ever show in 2006!

Also--- a big thank you to all the great bands we got to play with such as Empyrean, Separatist, Alarum, Aeon of Horus, Mushroom Giant, sleepmakeswaves, Eleventh He Reaches London and many more. Seeing and hanging out with all these fantastic bands was definitely one of the absolute highlights of the tour for me.

Now we'll be changing focus to pre-production for the album, and we'll keep you posted when we have more details on recording etc!

Thanks again to everyone who came out to any of the shows. Your support is TRULY, truly appreciated.

Tim
