AXXONN hits the beach......

Today was our first full day in Italy. We complied by allowing our amazing hosts to take us to the beach where we could relax, drink, eat, swim and soak up some rays....perfect.

1st Italian show...

Tom: THE most funnest video we have from any of our shows to date...

We'll make you dance

Lugo, Italy

Bye Bye Glasgow

What a great last day in Glasgow (well actually it's now not our last as we've been invited back to play a show at the end of August)

We hit the studio with a great Glasgow two piece Tacoma Narrows Bridge it was HEAPS of fun and got us super pumped for our first AXXONN show in Glasgow - it was actually our first show after 2 days break, the first two days break since we started this tour. Tomorrow = Italy!

13th Note - tonight, Glasgow

Afterwards Neil, Michelle and Ian indulged in a yummy £3 3 litre bottle of Frosty Jacks cider, hi-brow ;-)

Epics Days...

Ian: These were taken by Leigh from Scul Hazards / The Entire Asian Population. It was sweet to catch up with some Brisbane folks and this show was a lot of fun. Thanks to Liam and Dave from Hired Geeks for putting it together. PS: The Entire Asian Population is a must, they're recording at the moment.

Ian: These are pictures of Tom playing at Cafe Oto. Good spot.

Ian: Here's Jodi Cave playing some minimal jams at Cafe Oto.

Ian: We stayed up all night to go to Birmingham's Supersonic Festival. On the upside: we saw Sunn O)), Kylie Minoise, Drum Eyes and Venetian Snares. On the downside: we stayed up all night and two sleeps later we're still feeling it.

Ian: A cathedral in Birmingham. They do good cathedrals in the UK.

Ian: I expected the worst from UK cuisine - mainly because everyone in bigger bands complain about it in interviews and docos. Guess what? They're all a bunch of whiney fucks. UK food IS stodgy but it's also heartwarming and fun. The above meals were consumed in a cosy pub just around the corner from Supersonic. Stephen O'Malley was sitting at the next table.

Ian: Rank Australians killing time before Sunn O)).

Ian: Birmingham does good train stuff.

Ian: Tom on coffee: 'Sometimes I just want a dirty one in a styro cup with a paddle pop stick to stir it'. His wish was granted by a lovely woman outside of Supersonic.

Ian: Our elaborate guest passes to Supersonic.

Ian: Drum Eyes blazing.

Ian: Sunn O)) geekery. It was loud. Duh. But also mildly rockin', not exactly what I expected. Greg Anderson moved around quite a bit. I love these guys but it did feel weird watching them rock a mega festival crowd with something that sounds - to me - like those improvised Melvins tracks they used to annoy unfriendly audiences in middle America.

Ian: Sunn O)) setlist. No shit. Not sure how they saw it - or whether listing 'drone' on there is entirely necessary but a good keepsake for Tom.

Ian: Our first Glasgow show. We both did solo sets. It was a good time; how could it not be seeing it was in a disused barber shop. Thanks to Jodi Cave for putting this on.
