Quickly come….quickly go!

Wow, like all good blood tests, that didn’t feel like long at all!

However, blood tests make you feel terrible…what, with the needle poking and all the blood….but you know you’re doing a good thing in your soul….this tour was more like the second part of that haemo-analogy only…was good for our souls and hopefully yours too!

We are so happy that you allowed us to indulge in such a grand scale of rockin and rollin’ and we really enjoyed your company very much. We also we really enjoyed the company of Silversun Pickups (quite possibly the sweetest band of souls we have met), and our younger musical friends in The Chemist! (oh and Emperors In Perth). We really hope that from start to end of each night, that peeps had a great time / show. We sure did! I drank lots of gin and dirty martinis…which is a sign of good times as i dont normally drink much at all. I can’t speak for the others however! Ha!

Huge thanks for everyone in the massive touring party too…a particular nod to the Hugo Chavez Regime also…we love you!

We now have much more to prepare for, but just wanted to say thanks for sharing (yet again) with us. I don’t think we will ever get tired of thanking people for support. You afford us the most creative headspace and parallel movements in the world. You fucking fascinating and handsome people…boys and girls….girls can be handsome too.

Don’t forget to vote if you would like to see Birds of Tokyo get into the Top 4 of the [V] Oz artist Of The Year awards! Woohoo!

In a unique partnership, Optus are bringing Birds of Tokyo to three regional towns at the end of November as part of the Optus Sound Scribe program that gives budding music enthusiasts in regional Australia the opportunity to pursue a career in music journalism.

Over the past two months forty Optus Sound Scribes located in various towns across regional Australia have been working tirelessly to produce a music blog reporting about their town’s local music scene and securing votes from their community. Ultimately on the 31st October the top 3 Scribes with the highest number of votes on their music blog will win a free concert in their town from Birds Of Tokyo.
Your local Optus Sound Scribe is urging your community to support their bid to bring Birds of Tokyo to your town for this one night only free concert for the community.

Drummer for Birds of Tokyo Adam Weston said “we’re all really looking forward to what these shows have in store for us as well as the regional punters of Australia. We are also excited that the three locations will be chosen based on how much the local community gets behind these talented scribes.”

For the chance to have Birds of Tokyo perform in your town go to www.optussoundscribe.com.au and vote for your local Optus Sound Scribe. Remember you can vote once per day so log on and make your vote count.
