Short Stack Tour Diary - Blog #1: From Melbourne to Canberra!

2 days ago we were in bathurst. we did two instores in the same day, the other being orange, they were crazy cool! we were like 2 hours late to orange...sorrrry guys. the trip from goulburn (which was also and amazing instore) took soo long and we had to go via dirt roads and stuf.

heaps of kids came and they all got a cd signed, also a hug or 2.
the place we stayed at was.... ok. we found out it was...... ok when we arrived and were made to sign the "motel famous visits" canvas. sigining next to "barry", "greg smith" and "the bathurst hockey team" is just a bit to much excitement for one day. After an argument over who would go get the internet password from the front desk (which i nobally took at hand) we soon went to bed.

Interview: Short Stack talk "Boob-face", being derros, g-strings and getting fired!

several hours through the night of our drum tech shannon hotchkins yelping in his sleep, we awoke to shaun doing an interview, and shouting to us through a giant megaphone. (shaun if your reading this, im still going to pee in your eyes for that) we left, right on time as usual, (thankyou jumpnow) and arrived an hour late to the instore :) sozle. we got some food, did another amazing instore in lithgow, and took off that afternoon. on this topic, lithgow, ily. but shit, what the hell is wrong with some of the dudes hanging at the shopping centre there? they look like theyre dressed by both there deceased grandma, and a turtle.

WATCH: Short Stack's 'Sway Sway Baby' video!

stopping off to get a fully sick lighting system for my bass drum, we soon arrived at the metro. (p.s how cool is my bass drum) (courtesy of jimmy, our new addition to the short stack team of love.) We were all fair nervous as we havent played our home show town in a lil while. 38 cans of hair spray later, we played a pretty damn good show, and took off to sonnys house for rest. we woke at like, 11. complained for a whle about how tired we were. then had some red bull and made our way to the metro again! that pretty much brings us to here. me, sitting here typing, while andy and shaun go through the show, and blow up beach balls ha. i better get dressed, and warm up my arms.

catch you soon kiddos
