This is us on a plane to Christchurch. While we were on the plane there was a real big aftershock in Christchurch from the earthquake and when we landed everyone was freaking out.

Buck and Brian were so freaked out about the earthquake they could not walk and had to have wheelchairs.
Brian felt better when he found some Southern Gold and he regained the use of his legs.
Then we drove for ages and found this lake. Buck reckons his Great Grandad built this lake and I have no reason not to believe him. Buck's Great Grandad was super tough like a lumberjack.
Then we were in Queenstown, where $10 wine costs $20 but you can drink it on the street until 10pm which is pretty ok. Also, people give you free Monster energy drinks on the street. You don't have to pay, they just GIVE them to you! They don't even want them! We all drank about 20 and had mild heart palpitations. Then 47 Diamantes did their set and Gemma rode me around the stage because I am a beautiful unicorn.
Then I rapped, Buck and Kelvin also rapped but I think they were kind of preocupied looking for their keys which they dropped down the side of the stage. Buck and Kel share one set of keys for some reason.

THEN SUDDENLY BY MAGIC: DUNEDIN!

Lucy got all Grand Theft Auto with her driving and it was real fun. Then we walked around Otago uni singing "TAAAAKE YOUR PLACE IN THE WORLD" and getting dirty looks from students.

Then we did a show at Refuel it was rad, everyone who came along was really awesome.

I wanted to be as cool as everyone else so I stood on this table or something

This is a really steep street. Lucy wanted to move there but Kelvin said "no!"

A WILD BOULDER APPEARS! 47 DIAMANTES, GO! GEMMA USED HUG, IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE! KELVIN USED LEVITATE, BUT IT FAILED! WILD BOULDER USED TELEPORT! WILD BOULDER ESCAPED!

THEN, as if by accident... TIMARU!
These guys became our friends for life. Gemma got proposed to like 40 times.

JUST AS WE THOUGHT ALL HOPE WAS LOST... CHRISTCHURCH!
We were real stoked to be in Christchurch where everyone is either our friend or a skinhead. Didn't see any skinheads though only saw rad awesome people like Netta and Fion and T'nealle who are real nice to us. This is us in Netta and Fion's front yard looking moody.

This is someones house. They need to get a new wall.

We did a show. It was going to be at Good Bye Blue Monday but it ended up being at Al's bar because of the earthquake. Everyone in Christchurch who was cool showed up so if you are in Christchurch and you are wondering if you are cool or not well this is a good way for you to tell. It was good times.




Then, against our lawyer's advice, AUCKLAND
We did a show at Cassette #9, it was super fun. Lots of people came and they were all different and special and I got to know some of them and I became a richer person because of it. Also, multiple big screen TV's playing our music videos on repeat = awesome. Thanks Cassette!


The next day we played at a scout hall in Mt Eden for people of all ages! It was awesome. People of all ages are my kind of people. Kitsunegari, Cool Cult and FATANGRYMAN played too and they were rad.


Then we did the Loop Select release party, but I don't have any photos of that. It was pretty cool though. WE SAW A DRAGON.
THEN, JUST AS WE THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO GO BACK IN THE WATER....
WELLINGTON!
I think this was probably the best show I've ever played. 47 Diamantes were amazing (they were amazing for the whole tour too)

Golden Axe was amazing

That robot showed up and he was looking worse for wear but he was still amazing





Thanks to everyone that came to the shows! Thanks to everyone who bought the album!
Thanks Burgerfuel for the burgers! Thanks Converse for the shoes!
Thanks 47 Diamantes for being an awesome support band!
Thanks Lucy for organising everything!
Thanks Brian for doing visuals and being a DJ!
Thanks Kelvin and Buck for helping me do raps!
