Amsterdam then Denmark, Sweden then four in Germany one festival in france and one in Holland then back to OZ for three then back to London for east meets west I think it is,then Helsinki ,Switzerland and istanbull also a gig in Halifax before heading back to the US"<br /><br />" they are definitely on the charge, they just announced two shows in Melbourne and Sydney in a month, a few hours ago and the Melbourne show had over 800 hits in a few hours probably be sold out tomorrow.Rough Trade are absolutely stoked a lot going on in the next month they play Hamburg tonight and Copenhagen tomorrow then Stockholm before a day off I think then Berlin.Gus was picked up in London and driven over to paris by Gucci in the middle of the tour for filming .The artistic director of Gucci loves punk .Gus and Amy were both on the catwalk in milan a few weeks ago.They have not a bean yet from the band and live hand to mouth so this sort of money has been a life saver."<br /><br />"Hey Mick the Amyls new album out .Seems like the uk, should say the world loves it , you lot have great taste.Managed to get on the cover of NME for what that's worth nowadays although any sort of publicity helps." <br /><br /> "spoke to Gus the other day they only got back to Australia about three weeks ago from the US did two sold out shows in Melbourne and one in Sydney.Then back all over Europe some big festivals all over I think twelve countries 43 gigs this time the us and Canada are loving it as well.They love England the most .Gus told me he wrote the song go fuck yourself .proud of my boy" <br /><br /> "can't wait to be back in the uk in August pity I think the Amyls might be in Japan .Just seen a photo of a tower records shop in Japan with a massive display ,should kick off there. I think they will be there later on in the year they wanted to do the Fuji festival but it clashed with the US leg in july I believe ,the band want to go and also to New Zealand lots of interest from the south sea poms" mickfletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13749276319100007705noreply@blogger.com
