Interesting.

Wonder if "Baby Animals" here refers to just Suze and Dave?

Also wonder if there might be some warm-up or other shows,

As long as Suze & Dave are there.
I got my tix already, should be good...Actually it'll be great!
Hope they do a sideshow, their website dosen't mention it yet??

Hey all -- hope everybody's keeping well

There's some fun radio interviews with Suze and Diesel on this site which are worth checking out:

Can't wait for the Sydney show!

4 Weeks today until the Sydney show .

Ran into Dave last week. He said they planned to "not leave Diesel or Chrissy anywhere to go" ;D


Can't f**king wait.

It's happening tomorrow night in Perth. Can't wait. Hope this spawns a bit of a rebirth and they get the website going and bit more communication with us.

Heard the Adelaide show got cancelled which is a bit of a pity. Still tix for the perth show too, will still be awesome though. Anyone else see the other shows?

And I thought everybody must have left the building!

Saw Sydney. Really good tight show by BAs - and Diesel, who opened the show and Chrissy, who closed it.

To some degree (for all the acts) the orchestra seemed to be a bit of a strings / horns add-on to a rock band doing their normal set rather than arrangements to best utilize their contribution, but in Enemy particularly, the orchestra was well included - probably the best version of it I've seen.

Suze also came back on IN A DRESS for Chrissy's encore and their on-stage pash was surely one of the most magic moments of Australian music.

BA's set:
Rush You
One Word
Nervous At Night
Don't Tell Me What To Do
Painless
Make It End
Hot Air Balloon
Working For The Enemy
Early Warning
Ain't Gonna Get


Edit: If the seems to be more activity on the forum - I'll repost this on "Live" where it really should belong and post links to some stuff from the concerts that's on Youtube.

if there's more please post! I didn't see yet if any of those Chrissy songs feature Suze, do you know how it's called?

My 1st impression, even though the sound quality is not mint, is that they really just added the strings and the band played normally. Which is why I usually think those ventures don't come out so well. But it's still cool to see them performing obviously.

Cheers and hope they'll be back this year with new stuff.

edit: there's a new short message by Suze at myspace:

and a couple of very fine shots from the show on the main page!
