Touring WA – the treacherous north
The northern leg of tour: the tour of hard knocks, big lessons and unforgettable swims.
Our first show was in the small Wheatbelt town of Dalwallinu, which has a population of around 2000 people. We were booked in by the local shire to perform in their newly built amphitheatre, with local support act Codie Sundstrom and another Perth band, A Beggars Second. Read more

About 20 minutes from home, we noticed the smoke drifting out of the front bonnet *cue dramatic music*.
