Hey guys,

We will be keeping you more updated now. You will start getting heaps...
Things have been SO changeable, and I hate to say one thing and then have to do another. That is what keeps happening to me, and I have had to keep up. We have had a couple of pretty stressful weeks, and it was just nice to get all of your e mails. Here is the info and the outline you asked for, but if you need more, just ask. We are "almost" back to normal now and I will try my best to be better with info for everyone!!!

I will give everyone a playing time and we will do it so the loudest rock is last, so that people with quiet acoustic music don't follow thrash metal. The times are unimportant at a showcase, it is all down to you guys having a time to play to get important local people there to see you!!! Really you should be able to play at 1pm in the afternoon for a showcase and get the important persons that you need to your gig.

Mijo Biscan (Lamplight) has kindly agreed to do the stage management. He has been to Popkomm and knows a few things about touring in Europe. We will also have a couple of other people that are doing the merch, door, etc.. So life will be made easy on you all where possible.

IF those of you that haven't send us a stage plan could send one thru immediately that would be great. We will have the sound check order and times to you when we get all that info.

Cheers, see you SOON!!!

Steve
