Shoeys, Funky Fashion & Trippy Unicorns With The Bennies

The Bennies check in from their massive album tour

PIZZA, PIZZA, PIZZA!!! Here Craig is at the Brissy Hotel in Hobart. If you don’t love pizza I don’t how you could ever tour!

I swear we aren’t sponsored by Cascade Lager, but boy does Bowie endorse it.

Some much needed Mariokart time. Best way to blow off some in-band tension is to blue shell the shit outta each other.

To be honest, I have no memory or recollection what this photo is about… Although, I do remember singing “It’s not me, it’s the MD” pretty loudly in the tour van.

Here is Ryan from Off With Their Heads experiencing a shoey for the first time. The guys were super excited to see if shoeys were a real thing or not. Here is their proof! Nice face, Ryan!

Here is a shot from the first show of the tour. This is at the Corner Hotel. It is such an honour to get to play at one of the best venues in Melbourne ever! Soooo much fun.

Much needed hangover cure - Bloody Mary and a beige coloured jacket.

Taking care of our gear and really looking after it. Those fragile stickers will save the day.. Oh deary.

Don’t ever fall asleep anywhere or do anything ever, unless you wanna look like a unicorn throwing up a rainbow. Actually, that’s pretty fucking rad.

This is Brad, our stage tech and all round mad chiller! So fucking rad having extra people on tour to help out and disguise the fact that we have no idea what we are doing.

These two t-shirts were actually made by some other dudes in a different city. I got given them and told that two dudes would come find me and take the shirts! Full blown party machines.

It’s really important to have a good driver on tour. Here is Marley, who has been getting us to and from each show. She is a mad driver but don’t criticise her driving otherwise she’ll give you a ‘ruff’ time…
