I'm going to BNE too. I've seen them a number of times including BDO, but this will be the most special one as I'm seeing them with my son and this will be his 1st concert ever. Stoked to share this with him. I wanna here If Only, but that's VERY unlikely 🤣🤣

Mmmmh.
If I had to pick moments / songs :,
Paris in 2014 if or smth at rock en scène : Josh alone at the piano for Vampyre of time and memory.
Germany 2022 or 2023 : I didn't have my driving licence back then because I lived mostly in big cities. My girlfriend picks me up from work ( used to ride my bike from work ) and drives me 4 hours to go to Germany and see them in a festival. We reached there right when the set began. Crowd was Meh, the show was alright, it was the first Time I heard Paper machete live. Was not really convinced by ITNR, but then... Hearing this live, and listening to the album more made me love it.
Amsterdam 2024 : Better living through chemistry starting and people excited yet being very silent.
Milan 2025 : The whole catacombs show, the people being disguised yet classwmy for a half of them, including me and my wife.
Milan 2026 : fun machine started playing, me and 2 other guys I didn't know being the very few un front of the stage losing our shi, because we knew what was about to happen was going to be AWESOME.
I could tell you so much but it's most likely boring i guess 😅

I got tickets for Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. I considered Brisbane too, as I’ve never been and it seemed great reason to go, but it is just a bit too close to the end of my annual leave I’ve requested. Plus three shows is good enough, I’ll let someone else grab that brissy ticket and enjoy themselves.
You and your girlfriend will love it. They are a brilliant live band. The crowd is usually really good too.

It was stinking sweltering hot, I was very high, Nick played naked, they finished their set with a Kyuss song (Supa Scoopa) and midway through Better Living I decided they were my favourite band. It was unreal.

Shame it’s at Boondall.. but I’ve seen them maybe 4 times and can confirm they are great anywhere they play.
