Royal Randwick!!! Ha ha ha - nothing is where it used to be. Even when we visit everythings changed.
No tshirts will be free. Just making a few - well having a few made up. Just a round about size is needed??? They'll super limited editions!!! I just hope Pulp have the Pulp socks for sale. The brown and cream ones on their site. I desperately want those!!!
Oh i think I am making the pivot from shirts to now a patch. My shirts were looking to much what is probably going to be the tour shirt. I know everyone needs to know this. I was like what is an Australian / NZ animal - we dont really share to many similar animals. We often gave them ones and they turned out to be pests in NZ like the humble possum. So I thought well whats something very Aussie and I thought well an Ibis because they are F**king everywhere doing their thing. They are native - not to NZ though but they have them because we gave them to them... It will say Shouting & pointing across New Zealand Australia 2026.
2 nights in a row - I am having Pulp dreams where I miss the concert. First night I had a designated 'hug spot' where I needed to stand but still couldnt make the concert then last night couldnt make it again.
Probably a tiny bit smaller for Pulp. Having said that NC played here in Brisbane 2 nights ago at the showgrounds. That's not a normal venue - more for festivals than individual artist gigs. But Pulp played there in 98 for Livid. Its like multi-purpose. For cows and sheep and for bands.
For Brisbane they are playing the Riverstage which is the usual place for your New Orders, Fontaines DC. But we saw David Byrne like a week ago at the Entertainment Centre - but id say for his screen rig he chose that venue.
Melbourne - well thats where ABBA played in the 70s and Thom York got yelled at.
Sydney - well steps of the Opera House. Cant get more rad than that. Hope the Opera House films it as they have been doing.
And Adelaide. Some type of park on the river which should be nice.
Its so close now. Its crazy. At a cafe last weekend they had a Pulp Brisbane poster and I took it!! Its such a beauty! My partner went back the following week and said all the posters they had up had all been removed so lucky.
And NZ. Well the only arena on the tour. Same place as David Byrne played and I saw some footage from that and it was a big arena and he pretty much packed it.
Also by Uncle Nick I hope you mean Nick Cave. Or Ive just gone off on a tangent. Unless Nick Banks is doing a tour here? Hopefully in Sydney the venue is less boring for him.
oh thats kind - but the patches I designed are being made. The bird is an Ibis because they are evvvvverywhere and its kind of quirky like Pulp. I thought long and hard what animal represents the anitpodes and well some of our animals are pests in NZ. The patch design has gone through so many focus groups ie. me. I based them on my favourite Keep Tassie Wild patches. https://www.keeptassiewild.com/collections/patches
