Basement Birds

Thursday and Friday last week saw the whole BB gang in Melbourne, where we used the unique situation of us all being in the same place at the same time, to hit the promo trail, including the first live airing of our new single 'Not the One' on breakfast radio. In between radio interviews, we ran into Jimmy Barnes at a cafe and discussed the future of flying cars (it was an article in the paper Kav was reading). Jimmy told us that Ian Moss has his pilot's license... a terrifying fact that i now share with you. 

Another terrifying fact i discovered in a radio interview, is that Kevin Mitchell used to play football against Ben Cousins....Apparently Kev was quite the sportsman in his high school days.

Friday night saw us perform at a charity event for Support Act Limited, a charity that aims to help musicians who have fallen on hard times, more info here http://www.supportact.com.au

It was a great night, and we got to play a few songs in the beautiful Melbourne town hall, and hopefully they raised some cash for a great cause.

We're all getting very excited about the physical release of our album. The impending release next week, meant that we also signed almost 1000 cd covers. This is never the greatest fun, but when you combine it with a bit of food, some beer and a Master Chef elimination challenge on the tele, well....things could be worse. 

It was awesome to see the finished covers though, they look great, so we hope you don't mind us ruining them by writing all over them!

Starting to get that nervous anticipation about the upcoming tour, make sure you get in fast for your tickets, and see you then!

  I'm looking forward to hearing the album but a bit disappointed the CD is not included in the VIP package. Will the CD be available for purchase at the Melboune show?
