Gullivers travels

Hello. We've been filming a million videos on tour but they take far too long to upload (argh!)
so here are some photos:

While Andre and Jono slept off a huge night with the Perth Massiv, the rest found these huge vibey markets near the gig in Fremantle. So cute. I bought tea. Then left it in the car whoops.

This guy is deranged. Take note boys, too many nights with the V Squeezies and their friend of choice could make you want to busk gothic scots cyber techno with a collection tin on a remote controlled car as well!!
Remember these little guys! They're still towering in WA!




Shell boats!
Shell animals!

Newcastle's band room was hella scary. Think terrible graffiti on the walls, screaming ice mother and child echoing down the creepy half-finished hallway, feeling like you're being watched, doors closing in your face...

Creepy! note fire extinguisher.


Aaah anywayz it's good to be home.
Jono and I had a weekend of sun, beach, burritos, margeritas, grass, gelato, doobies and...

Rudy!

Perfect.

LV VS Tour part 1

Things that have happened so far on the Lost Valentinos/ Van She National Tour of Ton:

* We nearly got killed on the drive up to Brisbane when we were caught up in the Judgement Day Apocalypse. Seriously. Terminator T1000 morphed into a raging Ice Road Trucker with a death wish at 3.30am and drove all over cars and Taragos alike, while fires burnt either side of the highway, enveloping us in thick smoke, to the soundtrack of Drum's Not Dead. Yeew.

*I tried to film the above with the lens cap on. Herg.

*Pat and Nik have taken to speaking backwards. Which is fine and dandy until you about to back into a car and Nik is yelling out Ton! TON!! Or you're going the wron way on a roundabout and Pat's screaming Tefl!! Tefl!! and you're like WTF?!

* We saw a guy get beaten to a pulp by bouncers in Cooly, yelling and screaming the whole way, even when all the bones in his body must've been snapping. And when we called the police they didn't wanna hear our story at all. Corruption is rampant in QLD.

* Totally de-vibed we went back to our luscious hotel for red wine and a doobie or two and found a cupboard full of maaad videos, including a dodgy double VHS of a New Order live show and a Nick Cave tour doc from like a million BC. Got our groove back.

* Jono found his Tijuanan soul mate on a record cover

* Valentinos have towered

* Van She have cowered


I've uploaded a few little legacy gems to my youtube.
