We’re so deep up in Australia right now, it’s ridiculous.\u00a0PAX\u00a0Aus\u00a0was amazing.\u00a0We’ve been driving around Melbourne for days now, in a really stupid looking van, on the wrong side of the road. We’ve eaten a shit load of bad ass meat pies. We’re in a really awesome hostel right now with nothing but hot girls everywhere. And we’ve eaten more fancy lollies and chock chocks (read: candy and chocolate… even though I don’t think Australians say “chock chocks”… I just want them to) than should be legally allowed. All that being said, I’ve decided that\u00a0 Australia rules.<\/p>\n
But the fun doesn’t stop there. We haven’t even seen any kangaroos, wombats, or Mel Gibson… yet. We’ve got about another week to make it all happen, so don’t forget that we’ve got 4 more fancy\u00a0Aus\u00a0shows (along with\u00a0MC\u00a0<\/a>Frontalot<\/a>!)\u00a0while we’re here. \u00a0And remember… the likelihood of our return is directly proportional to the attendance at these final 4.\u00a0 No pressure, Australia!<\/p>\n JULY<\/b> When we get back to the USA of America, we’ll be playing a couple more shows on the West coast before heading back home. That’s you, Anaheim and San Francisco! If you live anywhere near these areas, you should do your best to get there. This will probably be the last time we get out that direction this year.<\/p>\n AUGUST<\/b> The limited edition Australia\u00a0merch\u00a0is going fast, so if you’re coming to the shows, grab what you can, when you can. Anything left over on the\u00a028th\u00a0will go to our new\u00a0Aus\u00a0store, and will be available to purchase worldwide. A new Australian Store link will pop up on\u00a0our website<\/a>\u00a0on July\u00a029th. \u00a0\u00a0*EDIT 07\/29\/13* So it turns out the Australian store won’t go live until Aug 5th. Sorry for the confusion.<\/p>\n So even though we haven’t met Yahoo Serious, AC\/DC, Icehouse, Olivia Newton-John, Paul Hogan, or John\u00a0Farnham, we did see\u00a0Gotye\u00a0hanging out backstage at\u00a0PAX\u00a0before our show! But I don’t think he\u00a0 stuck around to watch us play because we were too weird looking.<\/p>\n Now he’s just somebody that we saw at our show.<\/p>\n -Commander<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’re so deep up in Australia right now, it’s ridiculous.\u00a0PAX\u00a0Aus\u00a0was amazing.\u00a0We’ve been driving around Melbourne for days now, in a really stupid looking van, on the wrong side of the road.
