Bye For Now: King Of The North

Answered by: Andrew Higgs

Where are you going overseas and for how long? Our record Sound The Underground is being released by a French label. We’re keen to get over there and give it a crack, pretty much everywhere that will have us.

What has convinced you to head over there? Besides the fact there is a strong market for hard rock (in particular of the Australian variety) in Europe, a lot of our mates’ bands are doing great things there, longer tours and more places to play; it sounds like a whole lotta fun!

When will you be back? We’re like the Terminator; we’ll always be back! You can’t beat Australian summers!

How will you be keeping busy during that time? Like most tours, driving, knitting, driving etc.

What will you be missing most about Australia? Walking into a servo to pay for fuel and saying, “G’day mate how ya garn?” and being understood.

How are you saying farewell to the local fans? With our Summer Shows tour where we’ll be playing some loud, high-energy rock shows! Newtown Social Club, 20 Feb; The Small Ballroom, Newcastle, 21 Feb.

QLD: The Northern, Byron Bay, 27 Feb; Solbar, Maroochydore, 28 Feb.
VIC: Baha Tacos, Rye, 5 Mar; Northcote Social Club, 13 Mar.
