Australia - Roll Call

Just been told the local street press has a nice big ad for Circuital with the words "Touring Soon" appearing at the bottom of the ad!!!

Best. News. Ever... ;D

wow, very cool Dave. I'm happy for you and all the other aussies. Man, I would love to return to Australia, I really miss it down there.

ralph · May 27, 2011, 07:25 PM

come visit! Its only 15 hours from San Fran...

You'll get to see the band in smaller venues. The venue in Melbourne last tour had a capacity of about 800 and wasnt sold out from memory. I cant see it being much bigger this time as the bands exposure isnt that much greater now.

I have now seen the ad with my own eyes and it does indeed say "touring soon!". Now I just have to hope that the bands idea of soon and my idea of soon are the same...

thats really cool! happy for ya, you deserve it as much as anyone

So exciting! Hope you get a bunch of shows, Dave! :)

ralph · May 28, 2011, 12:52 AM

the plan already is to try and get to them all!

Would love for Carl to bring his loop pedals along and play a solo show too!

Only just saw this thread now. I really hope they announce some dates soon. And I would totally be up for a Carl solo show. We could get enough people to sell it out right Ralph? ;) I just hope it's not another Big Day Out. Although that Melbourne BDO set had one of my favorite setlists.

Ok if they are touring australia they better tour New Zealand! If they don't I will probably go crazy... I mean come on it's like a 2 hour flight away!..:(

I'm hearing Dec/Jan, Possibly on one of the New Years festivals. Would prefer it to be their own tour but as long as it's not an 'exclusive to the festival' type arrangement...

Don't hold me to this info though.

walterfredo · Jun 03, 2011, 01:07 PM

wha? new years downundah? Say it aint so.

(I would of course be happy for you Dave)

SaraBananaBear · Jun 03, 2011, 03:04 PM

Congrats, Ralph and weenie et al!!! My step-brother and his wife are "down under" as well. He should be excited, too. Can't get the link to work, though.

ralph · Nov 02, 2011, 08:42 PM

Thanks johnnY! A little further investigation shows a couple of sideshows the week beforehand, but as they haven't been announced I'll hold off on the details until confirmed just in case they change or my sleuthing is wrong. But I'll be booking a flight to Sydney on the 3rd April with a return flight to Melbourne for the 4th... ;)

Link is right, Id say they are experiencing server overload issues as this has just been announced here...

If you're hearing rumor of any shows near Melbourne (my step-brother and his Aussie lass live in Templestowe), PM me so I can give him a heads up. Good for you. Maybe a date in NZ for our buddy youreveingcoat, too.

ralph & beenie,
THE DREAM IS REAL!! :birthdays:

injuddstree · Nov 03, 2011, 12:03 AM

The day of a tour announcement is as good a time as any to join the forum...

Any news on whether there will be an Adelaide show? Strongly doubt it, but can always hope. May have to travel to melbourne, but would be hard if it isnt a weekend.

peafunk31 · Nov 03, 2011, 01:01 AM

Awesome news Dave! Will Ned be attending the shows? After missing T5, he'll probably be pissed if he doesn't make a show so close to home ;D

Hey judd! Good to see another Aussie here. You can never have too many! I think it might pay for you to start an Adelaide petition cause from all accounts it's Sydney & Melbourne from what I've seen today...
