A few of my friends and I are very excited with Jarvis coming back to Australia for a tour, and my friend is Djing at a Britpop club night here in Sydney, so I decided to scan Jarvis in from one of the Different Class tour books and make a cardboard standee of him....ala Different Class sleeve.
I posted some pictures on my facebook, thought you guys might be keen on seeing them.
Can't wait for tomorrow night.... I am not going to be able to sleep tonight :D
Did anyone else hear the rumour that Jarvis wil guest on ABC's 'spicks and specks' final show for the year on 20th Dec? (obviously just been pre-recorded)?

symphonie, if that rumour is correct, that may well be the best episode of spicks and specks ever! :D

ETA: well, it looks like the rumour is true if hillsy's twitter is anything to go by! i wonder if it will be like jarvis' infamous pop quiz appearance? when do they film?

Last nights Melbourne concert was BRILLIANT! I am still pumped! A late start but worth the wait. He did 'F-ing' song! If anyone is going to Meredith I would love to hear some feedback ? :D
Wow what a week and Jarvis in Melbourne last night was fab. I saw 4 shows on this tour and I have to say Melbourne he seemed to be the most energetic. Unfortunately Steve almost got wiped out by Jarvis after his coat got caught on his mic stand. There were items going everywhere, even his glasses. For a minute there I thought he was going to sing Dishes because he mentioned it....
Adelaide was the most surreal experience. I flew in with a friend of mine from Sydney and we were pretty excited because the venue was rather intimate. Basically it was a pub with a beer garden. We sat on the stage whilst Jarvis marched around, gave us chocolate, drank my cider (that was exciting) and somehow I got a hold of his mic and sang a chorus from a Hall and Oates song. Don't ask why, actually we had been on a bit of a pub crawl through the streets of Adelaide.......... also for the first time on tour Jarvis shoes came off....and out came the chocolates again. Was this tour sponsored by Cadbury? The venue was so tiny that we had a chat to Steve at the bar whilst he was ordering dinner.... Had to ask about how Martin came to be in the band because he is Australian and used to be in the most excellent Australian band called Sidewinder.
Sydney show was rad. Hometown show for me, so it mean't not sitting on a plane. Jarvis gave me his Stella which is still sitting (with a tiny amount of beer in it - yuk!) on the top of my CD cupboard. I am either going to grow myself mini Jarvis bugs or use it as a vase.
Brisbane show was the first on the Australian leg of the tour and it seems like a lifetime ago. I have the best photo of Jarvis poking his head through his legs......
I flew back home to Sydney today and sort of have to ween myself back into the real world of not seeing JC 4 times a week.
Met a few Pulp fanatics and hopefully, (as Mr Cocker himself said), he seems to come out here every 2 and a half years. Heres to 2011, hope so sooner though.
I have a tonne of photos so I will go through them in the next day or so and put them up on my Flickr and post a link.
A very Specky Christmas was excellent. Great to see Jarvis on Australian TV...I don't watch that show as a rule but it was very funny. I hope someone can upload that to youtube? :D
cut copy, it all sounds amaizing! I can't belive his shoes/glasses came off, haha, I wonder if there is anything on youtube? thanks for shairng your pictures!!
