Tour Diary Part One

Posted: Tue 08 Mar 2011

This tour has been a long time coming for us and it has been well worth the wait! The chance to finally play new songs from our 2nd album to people has seen 3 fairly large elephants slowly step down from our shoulders.

We'd practiced all week leading up to our first gig in Manchester and with the new equipment we need for some of the new songs giving us some issues we were going to name the tour 'this technical glitch'!! Fortunately a mixture of hard work from our crew and crossing of fingers from us 3 we pulled the show off glitch free... (Well, apart from our backline tech being electrocuted in Newcastle!) So we need to find a new name for the tour..suggestions welcome.

Manchester, Newcastle and Dundee have all been amazing. The crowds have given us adrenalin rushes we haven't felt for some time so merci buckets to you all for that. Got a few memories so far - We hope the 2 girls in Newcastle who gave Murph reason to say from stage that he'd "never seen anyone that pissed before" are ok. Big love to the guy on the shoulders in Dundee singing along to 'My 1st Wedding', perfect timing in the 3rd verse for Dan and Tord's shout! Condom Balloon in Newcastle, someone should market that. Thanks to Zen Arcade & Get People for getting the crowds going each night!

Well, we're off to soundcheck in Edinburgh now so gonna have to leave it short but thanks to all who have been with us so far. To be continued...

I'm from germany and was at your concert in cologne 2 days ago and it was amazing! had so much fun! i wanted to buy the "this modern world" tour shirt as a memory of this special evening but I didn't had enough money and so here's my problem: I wanted to buy it online but I don't use a credit card (cause you don't really need one in germany :D). Think there's no way for me to get that shirt =(

Heyyy Wombats just want to say I am an absolute huge fan of your work especially your new album :):) was just wondering my boyfriend (who is an even bigger fan then I am) and I are going to your Melbourne-Australia concert and it actually happens to fall on his birthday. Would it be possible or is there any chance at all that he would be able to meet you guys?? He is a huge fan and I know how special that would be for him especially on his birthday. I know this is a long short and you most likely won't reply but it's worth asking anyway and just to let you guys know how amazing you really are :):) thank you so much for your time :):) Xxx
