After the release of our extremely well received Trouble seemed so far away CD on the Lamingtone label we undertook a series of shows in many new and less visited places that we collectively referred to as the "Trouble seemed so far away tour".

These included some great fun shows in Katoomba, Melbourne, then a packed to the rafters hooting big set back in Sydney at the Hotel Hollywood, Wollongong, then back to The Annandale (in Syd) followed by another huge turnout at the Warren View

We also played at the Peace Picnic in Enmore park - a fine afternoon was had by all + close to $2000 was raised for the Walk Against the War Coalition

We played the Warren View again (again a great turnout despite the dreary weather) this time we got to play three sets! and were overjoyed to see so many dancers!

In May we played a rugged but occasionally beautiful & sometimes silly show in a cellar under The Alliance Hotel in Brisbane then pulled off three excellent + enjoyable sets (3 x 45 minutes a record for us!) at The Great Northern in Byron Bay, thanks to Angel Red + Neil & Rom for getting us there + thanks yet again to the dancers

On the 20th of May we recorded a 20 minute live set for national radio station triple J which was broadcast the following night ~ Next show was a very enjoyable return to Brisbane where we played at Rics bar which was a great venue to play + a huge Sunday night crowd only to be eclipsed on the 18th July when we were back at The Warren View for a pretty much full house !

The week prior to Japan we played the Uni of NSW Expo here in Sydney which was a fun day out see NEWS page for a run down

At the end of September 2003 we returned from a headline tour of Japan which was pretty unbelievable ~ see the tour diary ~ the night we returned we also played a show in Sydney which due to jet lag is a bit of a blur

Since then we played with Christine Anu and The Stiff Gins in Redfern Park then drew the biggest crowd the publican had seen ! at The Warren View the following Friday and had a lovely afternoon playing a fundraiser for Laurel Tree House daycare centre

Our last show for 2003 was at The famous Taxi Club in Sydney the bands were hot and the disco happening ~ hopefully we'll do it again sometime

During 2004/07 we played a heap of memorable shows including Little Day Out II & III, IV & V!, the Rosnay Woolfest, the Roxfam fundraiser and a heap of others in Sydney and Melbourne & Japan! (see History or gigs archive for details)

In May & June 2008 we returned to the US for the first time in ages, visiting Florida for the first time + had the honour of playing in Mexico for the first of what we hope will be many visits.
