Fanatic! Not only is it the weekend but finally, I’m in a backstage area with heating. It’s been one cold room preshow after another. Glad to be able to move my hands. I’m in Wellington, New Zealand for the last show of the run and already I’m starting to miss it. The shows have been going well and it’s been a great time.
One thing that’s been an interesting challenge is we started the year in the winter with the factory-installed cold and dark. We got a break for a few weeks and then we came here, right in time for Australian/New Zealand winter. I’ve got three shows in England next month but then we’re back in the USA from mid September until mid November, so it will be autumn and back into the cold and dark.
I’m stoked on all the new music I’ve been able to put into the upcoming shows I’ve been working on before the shows every night. Cool bands new to our show be kicking in pretty soon.
I’ve listening to the tracks that inform tonight’s show and I think we’ve got a good gathering of tunes lined up for you.
I just switched from our show tonight to an incredible box set coming out in September on Cherry Red. It’s 10CD collection of Hawkwind live shows from the Space Ritual era. Most of it’s unreleased. We’ll be getting into this. I’ve been sampling tracks here and there and it sounds amazing. I’m listening to Orgone Accumulator right now and it’s happening big time. Lots of good music to look forward to!
Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!
