Tonight we play all of ‘Going Blank Again’ in its entirety (with a few extras from that era 😉) at The Croxton Bandroom, Melbourne. Mercury Rev support; doors at 7pm 👍 See you there !
That understated, ghoulish cool; the anti-star, the anti-hero; Terry Hall gave us so much more than the music of The Specials…what a legend, may you rest in peace 🙏 x

Can’t believe Taylor Hawkins has passed away. Such an inspiring, musical, powerhouse drummer, & a fun-loving gentle man to boot. Only met him once but will never forget. RIP. X

DREAMS BURN DOWN: We were working on this as a new song, I was playing around with some 'Hip Hop' beat I had made up.. Andy gets excited and says "Slow it down and try it on the new song" - BOOM! Drum intro 🙌

PARALYSED: One of my faves and still a little under-rated in my mind! The depth of this... Did a version this for the 12-hour Drumathon as an instrumental... I love it as a song and as a piece of music... I am still learning to play it !

@neworder
Takes me right back to my teenage years growing up- fairly isolated from the rest of the world so bizarrely quite familiar now! Epic synths, fantastic melodies, indie power emotional grooves, mysterious words & beats😎👍
POLAR BEAR: A great festival track... Andy's 'Catcher in the Rye' references, Mark's temolo guitar, the e-bow, Steve's thundering rolling bass make it into another epic song. Not bad for a bunch of teenagers!

“Wheels turning around
Into alien grounds
Pass through different times
Leave them all Behind”

Totally agree, feel honoured to be on board with this tour, and loving having you all around, feels strangely complete to be sharing & swapping the stage each night ! 🙌 🔥🔥🔥🔥much shared experience…
In some ways, the time between these photos is like the blink of an eye, in other ways it seems like forever.
Such an honour to spend time on the road with our friends

and please can I hear ‘Teenage Lobotomy’... or any Ramones 😎👍
I can cringe about albums we’ve DONE, songs we’ve played that didn’t feel right, or don’t now.. but I always feel it is more important what you are DOING artistically *right now*

That is what counts...
