if you wanna be a bird watcher you gotta have a thick neck

so we havnt loged in to blog for a while sorry guys. we have been having a really great time on this tour!!!
greymouth was really good we played at a place called franks cant really remember what happened. the next show was in Granity at the Lyric theater.. it was awesome a bunch of locals came down and were really supportive. we slept in the back of the theater it was really cold. i had to use a thin matteress as a blanket. the next day we hung around granity for a while and played on an electronic dart board. then we headed up the hill to Millerton to go and see our new friends we met the night before called Vorn and tania. there house was really cool, it ran off solar power and we watched a great show called the comic strip made by the guys from the young ones. vorn well and truly blew us out that night! the next day he showed us around millerton. back in the day it was a thriving cole mining town. he showed us the ruins of the old bath house and took us on a great tour that ended up at the old town hall which the town now runs a radio station from. Bedrock FM!!!

On the 2nd we arived in Riwaka leaving the rugged west coast behind. Wow what a great van trip amazing scenery. we played outside of the monkey wizard brewery in the afternoon. a couple of kids stoped to watch on their bikes. and we drank a few delicious beers. the next night we were in motueka which was a really swell time. the venue was hot mamma's!. we ate incredible pizza and played to a few really drunk girls who said we sounded like good night nurse. o well. they danced their pants off whic was cool. at the end of our set some dude came up and started free styling on the mic. crack up..then we went back to a dj called sporadic! s house. i accidently stole his sleeping bag. next night we rocked out in nelson at phat club..fuck it sounded phat. a crazy australina lady ranmbled to us for hours. ''look at my body'' ''think about me when im at metallica.''  "my life is lkike outragous fortune' LOLZ LMFAO. the next morning we had 3 hours to kill so we slept under a tree in the park next to the prohibation station. we met a couple of american girls called sage and aria who came out to the show. they had no plans so we decided to take them on the road. 10 people in the van and we were headin to the Tap in mapua!! this was one of the best shows so far. we had a great time. met the usual hillarious local guys who loved getting OTP and being racist. they were quite drunk so it was easy to take the piss out of them. we went back to andys pad the guy who runs the bar. he was really generous. gave us a munch and some beers. we had a spa when we got back to his house then crashed out after getting fucked up with a couple of his geezer mates. he had a pool table in his house. great fun.,

brings us to last night at the mussel inn - onekaka. the best show on tour so far and the last for the first leg...we played our best set and the crowd went nuts. heaps of belguim tourists. sold some cds which is always good. now we can buy ciggys. they brew their own beer there so we got OTP. we slept in a log house.
