'Fare Thee Well Dunedin' Gig

As I hinted in the previous blog entry, we have a gig coming up.

Yay!

Sadly, it'll be Honeybone's last gig in Dunedin for a while as we (the band) are relocating to Melbourne, Australia.  We'll TRY to come back sometime soon if our financial state allows us, so this gig is a chance for us to thank Dunedin for being so rockin' over the last 3 years. You guys rock!

We'll miss you Dunedin. It's funny, my Uncle wrote a song that said exactly that, but it was written a wee while ago (I wanna say early 80s?). Still relevant. To us.

I've wanted to write about our relocation plans for a while, but I wasn't sure when we were going 'public' with the news. So now that I can, it's pretty cool. I'm pretty excited.

I've only ever moved towns once before, not countries. Although Australia is definitely easier than moving to London (or somewhere else far far away), since we don't have to worry about Visas or anything. But it's a little scary, considering I've only ever moved two hours down the road from my parents house.

We were tossing up between Auckland and Melbourne, but came to the decision (guided by many of our helpful fans, friends and family) to go across the ditch simply because Melbourne has 4 million people. Thats the size of NZ. So the odds are, more people over there might like our music, because there's generally more people.  Plus I have a feeling that New Zealand's rock scene is a bit small, theres probably less than 10 NZ rock bands that get regular radio airplay. The scene is going towards the dubstep/roots/hipster music direction, which is cool. But we don't really fit into that, methinks.

And Shihad live in Melbourne. Awesome.

Anyways, this giggity is happening on Thursday the 9th of February at XII Below. Entry is $5, and we'll be doing some sweet merch deals, so bring your jar of pennies. We've got Osmium, Kitten Suprise and others who will help us say goodbye to the town we grew up in (musically for me, but literally for Drew and Peter. Awaaahh).

So come on down and party with us whilst we say 'see ya' to this epic town. It'll be a really cool night (we hope).

Oh and in the last blog I promised boobs. Well since two of the bands playing that night have girl drummers, I'd say it'll be a boobfest (yaaa mean).

Yeah, YOU know what I mean ;)

Love ya
