Life's A Beach! Part 2 - Fergus Linacre of Kingswood

6 January 2014 | 2:02 pm | Life's A Beach

How do Kingswood keep occupied on the road? Sometimes they take off their pants...

This picture goes to show that you must get creative in order to entertain yourself and the rest if the crew on long drives between shows. We introduce StairDog, utility musician who after 2 gigs had a dream he was receiving an ARIA on behalf of Kingswood. He reads his imitation Kindle and tries to convince everyone to be vegetarian, however he is not.

For the Barwon Heads and Torquay shows we stayed at our lovely friend Lachie's place, where we hit golf balls, rode motorbikes, had big fires and danced around those fires listening to Neil Young, talked about the universe and how special a moment it is to share the sighting of a shooting star. Justin never hit the ball.

For those of you not familiar with Ferg's cousin Jimi. He's the band's guitar tech. He enjoys..... Ahh I dunno he doesn't really talk much. But he got very angry when he found out about the tinder account we made for him. The girls weren't impressed when he ignored them, but that's what you get for being on tinder. The account is now closed but the Instagram account we made for him is still alive. Get around Jimi!

In between Gold Coast and Melbourne Big Day Out we will be joining rock'n'ride, a charity motorbike ride for Headspace. Here is Al in his protective riding jacket, taunting the van. Safe guy.

Tarwin Lower recreation center. What legendary people. We were all beaten at cricket by a 10 year old girl, "I'm bored I'm just gonna hit you all catches now". Anyway we took to the tires of her BMX with a knife so she won't fuck with us again.

Andrew Crosby, sound engineer. Nude Snapchatter. If you are in the back of the van and Andy is up the front, ask Andy a question like “What was the best ice cream you ever had?” then put your headphones in and go to sleep. Whilst the other two in the front endure story after story in perfect detail about absolutely anything that has ever occurred or been read or overheard by the great man.

Barwon Heads New Year's Eve special, what a generous bunch they are. I wonder what makes their milkshakes so good. Jimi piped his shoulder out catching a wave dumbo, a few weeks ago it was playing tennis in port Macquarie, then before that basketball with his 15 yeah old cousin. Stop playing sports jimi.

Kilcunda Beach, more like Coolcunda. Hayden from Calling All Cars threw a skim ball to Justin and a snorkeler popped her head out of the water and copped one right between the eyes. Poor girl. Very funny though.

Justin isn't good at sports and that includes fishing, but he tries, and is brave and persistent. And every now and then David will concur Goliath and beat the odds. This was not one of those days, he caught nothing.

Morts (TM) infiltrated room 'A' whilst everyone was napping, dropped an almighty payload after a big night of pizza and cider, and sent this photo mid mission to his brothers in room 'B'. He left the door open, we all woke up instantly, and had to evacuate.

Al and StairDog, guitar buddies and tennis partners. Jimi is not allowed to play which makes him sad, so he mopes, and mumbles, and complains about the tinder account. Mango just asked which I would choose to have in my backyard out of a tennis court or a putt-putt course. I chose the tennis court, but then the rules changed to “the most amazing tennis court/putt-putt course in the whole world”. So we all decided that the best tennis court in the whole world is still just a tennis court. And we all chose the amazing putt-putt course.
