"Summer time in Australia. Is there any other place you'd want to be? Frontman Winston McCall comments. "For us it means a chance to hit the road in the country we love and play as many of those places we don't get to stop at as much. We figure the major cities have had their chance so its time to bring the show back to regional Australia, and lets see how crazy the small towns can get. These tours always end up some of the funnest shows we play anywhere. Sweaty venues, stage dives, sing alongs, beach hang outs. Sick Summer indeed. Grab a board and be part of the mayhem."
