At their recent May show Jordie and the new band, along with Liz Stringer and Austin took to the dark downward sloping stage of Northcote's 303 Bar to play there triple header show.  But by the time Austin (who opened) had finished the venue operators had to stop tickets being sold at the door, because people were literally needing to hang from the rafters to find any room to see the show.
So we apologise to all of you  who came down expecting to get in.A larger venue may have to be found next time. Say maybe Wembley Stadium?
