Surfing The Void: Klaxons Tour

Over the last week or so we’ve done a small tour of WA and have just returned from 2 shows supporting the Klaxons in both Sydney and Melbourne. I’m not sure if any of us have had a quiet moment to reflect on it, but I’m taking one right now and here’s what I think:
I think I’m on the brink of some kind of pseudo mental episode. I don’t think I have the mental capacity (or incapacity?) to actually have a fully fledged one, so I’m wallowing in the murky shadow of how epic and disastrous a real one could potentially be. To say things happen quickly is an understatement. In going to Perth, I’ve realised that I’ve now been to a place in this country that I never thought I would ever go regardless of any factor at all. In doing this Klaxons tour, we’ve played on a stage in our hometown that we’re in awe of and reverent towards each and every time we watch a band play there.
I can’t explain the feeling, but it’s almost an unnatural one. I don’t really know what I’m saying either to be honest with you. Are we worthy of the opportunities? Will we know when it all ends? And where? A strangeness we’ll just have to learn as truth. Off to Brisbane then…
- Chemical Brothers – Further
- Fennesz – Endless Summer
- Sufjan Stevens – All Delighted People

It is the disgusting relative you wish you never had, the cruelest of natures creations, the bottom feeder, the cancer of this earth. Anyway, that band just put out a hardcore album called “Ignorant Youth” through Arrest Records in Brisbane. You can buy it here

Plant my flag atop the hill
Fed the fucking rumour mill,
We were all but hyped to death,
And left for dead amongst the rest
Fist Fucked like Ventriloquist
Fuck you, Lazy Journalist!
