A Tour of epic proportions including a gunman
Can you call two shows a tour? Probably not, but we will.
Last weekend we were fortunate enough to get on the road with our good friends Harbour City Electric playing both Auckland and Napier shows. Both shows were a ton of fun and we really appreciated the efforts of everyone who came out to watch us, some of you even forfeiting the chance to watch two grown men punch each other in the face. We were stoked we could play with the HCE boys and their company was second to none.
We had some added excitement driving back from Napier on Sunday when we pulled up to a few cars on the side of the road and had a girl who was nearly in tears tell us that there as a gunman shooting at a cop. This later turned out to be David Bourke who was rampaging around the Norsewood area shooting up a storm.
We thought we’d avoid this drama by taking a back road, but mistakenly took a wrong turn and drove down a road which landed us right in the middle of the crime scene with abandoned cars and police littering the area. Luckily for us, the slow crowe has reverse. Seriously, she does. We managed to quickly turn around and get to safer grounds.
It took a ton of cops and 2 days to find Bourke who was only 500 meters down the road in the local golf club toilets. Given Nick and I have bladders the sizes of walnuts, it’s nothing short of a miracle that we didn’t end up stopping to piss in at the golf club and run in to a very scary naughty naughty bad man.
What have we learnt here? Get out of town for the weekend. Interesting stuff is always bound to happen.
