Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yeah, it has been. It's been a gooddee. We started
the year off strong with the New Zealand tour with

A lot of people are fans of Food Fighters, Were you,
guys fans of the Breeders?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Oh? Huge fans. Yeah. I think Kim Deal is probably
at least three of the members of Dick Move. She's
one about our huge idols. So it was pretty surreal
getting to, you know, hang out with her and Callie
and the rest of the band and sit around in
the catering area and eat mesh potatoes and talk life.
Pretty surreal.

tore a hole through Europe. So yeah, it was it
was heaps of fun in the middle of the summer.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
That's incredible. How's your European language skills or you sign
language or just hoping that speak English?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, yeah, I think we just kind of most places
spoke English, but if in doubt, you just kind of
speak very loudly until they understand Lulu, who's the basis?
She speaks Spanish. That was good in Spain everywhere else
we kind of yeah, most places speak English, but then
you'd find you know, we were driving the whole time,
so we'd be pulling into gas stations in the kind
(01:45):
of the middle of o where where you really just
had to kind of use sign language and sound it.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Out, yeah, and just wave cash around this most maybe
or you can.

a booking agent who set us up with a whole
bunch of festivals and then a whole bunch of gigs
in between at like pubs and punk houses and lots
of places like that, and they were just awesome. And
