After kicking things off with a show at LA's Spaceland and playing the Brush Square Park Aussie BBQ and Maggie Mae's Showcase in Austin, the band will head east, actually relocating for a time from Australia to New York to play month-long residencies in Boston, Manhattan, and Philadelphia. A similar set of residencies on the West Coast is set to happen in May.
Danny Miller, the band's drummer, had this to say about the upcoming trip: "From critical feedback to punter's responses and all the other bands we'll meet and whatnot, it's obviously very exciting for Australian bands to get out of our 'little ponds' for a while and see how we're perceived by another nation. We've always had a ball in the States, even when things get exhausting (man, we thought Australia was hard to drive across!), and have managed to pick up some amazing friends along the way in bands like A Place To Bury Strangers, Dirty On Purpose and Don Lennon, to name a few, not to mention the time spent with the crew guys, who become more like family. I'm sure this trip will be no different, and in fact, if it's anything like some of the legendary YG New York nights we've had over the years, I can't wait."
