I know. It’s been a while. I could make excuses:  Problems at home with Samson. Surprise trip to Versailles for emergency Armistace Day reenactment club meeting. Children at Dappled clothing company revolting - had to suppress.

But in all truth, we’ve just been heck busy.

Firstly: Laneways and New Years festivities:

We played some incredible festivals over the summer, from Pete’s Ridge to Falls festival, from Southbound to Sunset Sounds  and finally the Laneways national run. We saw the Yeah Yeahs Yeahs stadium dance show from out front (awesome), The Art vs Science juggernaut from side of stage (scary), Moby next to us at catering (quiet and hungry) and Hilltop Hoods from above (hover platforms are rad).

We played in unattractive short and sneaker combos and tested our bodies by wearing skin tight gold lycra sex suits at every laneway, even when going out in the heat was the safety equivalent of sticking your finger in a tiger’s butt.  You find the photos. You see the action.

Thanks for the ever amazing Sarah Blasko for singing Vision Bell with us.  Maybe you’ll hear a proper version of that one someday.

Secondly:

We’ve been working on some rad new material. We will play it for you soon. It is ultra good. Think the entire history of western music mixed with really delicious pancake and lobster platter.

Thirdly:

I’m leaving you, you cow!

Or, Here we come USA and UK and Europe and Japan and Hong Kong and wherever the hell we may roam.  Follow us.

We’re taking Zounds out of Australia and Dappled are relocating away for a while. We’re going to play shows. We’re going to get inspired for the best fourth album ever made. We’re going to legally recognise Alex and Ned’s puppy’s marriage in countries that allow that sort of thing.

Don’t worry Oz, we’ll be back for national tour in June or something like that.

But if you live in some place that isn’t within Australia, keep a look out for us. We’re the guys in the red cap. But not the dangerous guy that wants Julia Roberts dead. That guy SUCKED!
