We’ve been working hard to push the FIRE DOWN UNDER tour with Riot Act. We are in effect the promoters of these events, so it’s on us to make these shows a success. We’ve booked venues we know are good in areas we know we can usually get decent crowds. Riot Act is coming from New York to do this tour, and we’re hoping to sell out all these shows for them when they are over.
Our last show at Three Wise Monkeys for example sold out in advance, and there were people who could not get into the venue on the night.
We also introduced a new Patreon tier, a band backer tier which was to help the band fund an opportunity we were recently offered. Without giving too much away at this stage, an official offer/contract has come through and we used some of the new Patreon funds to have the offer independently accessed by an expert, as well as general guidance on the best route forward for the band in 2023, with more the be revealed at a later date.
It wasn’t a case of the scene is dead, or that the world is ending, it was just how it worked out, the venue is great and the staff incredibly welcoming and accommodating and I would recommend people both support that great venue and play there. I am always sad to see the level of attention negative stuff gets over the positive.
