Happy New Year everybody. Yes we have been a bit quiet lately... enjoying the summer, what little summer we are having!
We had a great year 2011 with the Pulse tours and really appreciate all the support we got. Thanks if you came out and supported us last year!
South Africa was a pretty tough tour and a couple of us getting food poisoning in the last week wasnt really ideal, worst thing was it made drinking beer really hard. We did have a great time though and it was awesome to visit there again and catch up with friends plus we made plenty of new friends! As always the hospitality there was second to none especially Pachas Cherry Room in Pretoria and Scrooges in Randburg. You guys were amazing!! and your food was exquisite!
As usual we bought heaps of shit at the Joburg markets which was a fair mission to get back home. We must look a right sight, usually a dozen or so of us all rushing around buying stuff you'd never normally buy... it’s so cheap... guns, knives, leathers, plus all sorts of made in China plastic rubbish that disintegrated when you opened the packet and it came into contact with air. Brought a nice Djembe drum for like a hundred NZ so that sort of thing is cool. One market we went to, at the very first stall right inside the gate we got offered weed, coke and ecstasy and as you wandered around you were constantly ambushed by groups of weed dealers trying to tell you their shit was better than everyone else’s... it’s funny coz it was all dry, twiggy, seedy crap you wouldn’t smoke unless there was nothing else... well guess what?
As much as we had a blast it was great to get back home to little old NZ where safety isn’t such a huge issue. It’s nice to be able to walk to the dairy... and by yourself!
Few of us are off to see Roger Waters in a couple of weeks, performing The Wall... that’s going to be awesome and hopefully very inspirational for our next production.
We wish everyone the best wishes for 2012 and hope to see you in our travels at some stage.
