Blindside posted a huge tour update on their MySpace blog today, mainly about new merchandise but also about their current tour.
The boys are about to wrap up in Australia and head to the next country. Here's what they had to say in the meat of the blog update:
We're back home after a trip that actually took us a lap around the world. We flew a good 30 hours or so via Bangkok, Thailand to get to the destination of our first ever show in Australia.
The people that greeted us made us feel right at home and with 6 months of winter back in Sweden it felt pretty sweet to get in the water at Surfers Paradise Beach on the Gold Coast, a few blocks from where we had a our first show at the Coolangatta Hotel. It became obvious to us that most of the people in the crowd had been waiting for quite a while since they knew the lyrics to every tune and called for songs from the first and second album.
Since we've been hard at work with writing new material and have more upcoming tours we decided to book this tour with as little time off as possible so we could get back to work. Once we were down there we wish that we'd had more time to spend. The three days we had in Sydney were great and we got to hang out with the Koalas and Kangaroos as well as surfing in Manly Beach.
Last show in Melbourne made us realize this tour was way to short and we're already looking at possibilities to come back, next time we'll try to include more cities as well. Props to the people flying over from the west coast. Before we flew over the good old USA aiming for Sweden we stopped in Auckland, New Zealand for one show. This was an incredible and very hot evening that we'll have in our hearts for a long time. The love was thick in that small room. All in all we had a great experience, so thanks to everyone that made it possible to come down. We'll be back soon.
