Wollongong Unibar - April 2017

This was our first sold out show at the Unibar where we’re from. The first time any group of people had ever felt game enough to lift Cam into to air. The crowd was insane at this gig and it was the perfect way to wrap up a tour.

Catfish (& The Bottlemen) are definitely one of our favourite bands as a collective and it was awesome to play with an oversized crocodile behind us. This was a hometown show in Wollongong at the Unihall after seeing them play at the Hordern Pavillion two nights beforehand.

Definitely not a fun road memory, but a memory nonetheless. On the way to Melbourne to finish mixing the upcoming album, Cam and Jim broke down on the side of the Hume Highway, only to end up spending three nights sleeping in the back of the broken down van in the NRMA car park.

Party In The Paddock Festival - February 2017

Party In The Paddock is such a great festival put on by some of our mates in Tasmania. This is one of our favourite shows we’ve played to date. A full tent of people singing along to most every word from all of the songs (even one that is unreleased). This picture was taken right before we went on stage.

University of Sydney - February 2017

For some reason, on a ridiculously hot summer afternoon, we decided it would be a smart idea to wear bare feet on stage. As the sun hit the stage, the black platform became unbearably hot to stand on, so we were dancing around like the floor was lava (it pretty much was). We ended up moving our pedalboards and mics towards the drum kit in an effort to dodge the sun.
