28 - THE ZOO, BRISBANE

MARCH

Also true music fans, and lovers of the goodness we bring, keep March 10 and 11 free next year and think about spending
it in the Victorian countryside....more details to follows next month."

I wonder if these still stand?
They were never made official so maybe not?

this would be very insulting of the band to post new date while cancelling all their other.  I hope for the best for Jim but this hurts. Jim feel better.

Take it easy Dude - these dates have been rumoured for a while.  
Ali who lives in Australia posted some of this info a few weeks back so although they were never made official, if true, these bookings were made a while ago before Jim got sick.

i hope for spiderbait, and not MMJ, because they are almost certainly not making it out there that soon. have you seen the shows page?

hey, i know. after i got over the initial euphoria (did a little happy dance when the people i work with were out of the room) i thought about the state of jim's health etc etc... trying not to dwell on it too much, but it is months away, and the gig is still being advertised over here in quite a few places (at the venue, street press, today in national papers etc) so who knows. i'll still buy a ticket when they go on sale on monday though, just to be sure.

who knows what will happen in the meantime. at the moment march feels like a lifetime away  :)

yeah i know!! i got a bit excited when i heard, but i could see the cancellation coming... jim's health is more important, so i'll be more happy to see them out here all healthy and ready to rock  :)
