Space And Time

Well well - here we are, in a space and time called 2010.

That used to sound like such a far off place. A befitting title for a god-awful and beastly sci-fi movie surely. Can you believe its nearly the end of January already?! We can't.It must be said, having a purpose to your location makes a hell of a difference to your head-space wouldn't you say? The exception to this rule is when you just want to chill-the-fuck out and go on a holiday. And that's exactly what we've been doing. Myself and Dave returned to Sydney while Damian and Cristo stayed in Berlin.

Now, after that well-deserved hiatus, we are back at headquarters with the map out on the table so to speak.What's animating our week you might ask? Well, we begin our first ever national headline tour of Germany next Monday. Hamburg is first up on the 25th of January. After that, we assign ourselves to the venues of the UK in February.

We're also swimming in a sea of new songs; going out with the tide and loving it.At the start of a new year, whether you like it or not you can't really help but to look back over the previous one. So, like a computer dealing with a thundering volume of data it must spit out and process into an experience for its user, so too have we. Looking back over our collective shoulders, we had an amazing year in 2009, to say the least. It was bold and magnificent and had us out of our comfort-zone. But that's what you're meant to do isn't it.

The death of any artist (and human-being) is to stay in the coccoon of what you already know for too long. A slow death anyone?And so it is, that 2009 shall be illuminated in our minds as a mega combination of virgin-like experiences. The people we met, the sights and sounds from the window of our tour bus, the bands we supported right through to the police-on-bicycles-escort at a certain Belgium festival whose name escapes me at the moment! Jet-lag = memory fail so I apologise dear reader. Anyway, we thank you for being part of any of those experiences we had. Let's do it again in 2010. See you out there in this big wide world.On behalf of all of us - peace and love.

P.S. We get told we don't do this enough - posting messages and blogging. So - it is here and now we say we'll try to do more. Please tell us if we get slack. We have a lot to give in the right way.

Dear Ben, reading blog post from artists we admire is always a great pleasure for fans because it gives another dimension to their musical creation and strengthens links between the band and fans at the same time. That's an undeniably interesting approach and we really hope to learn more about you all... So we count on you!
