Nice meeting you the other night :) I thought your set was very impressive, walking around later I got positive feedback from some of the punters too. Good Stuff!
Anyway just stopping by to let you know that the photo album is now up on Faster louder here: http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/gallery/11213/The-Fumes.htm
Not a problem Claude. I should've come say hi but felt a bit awkward doing that. Feel free to use any of the pics if you want, hopefully they're good enough. Have a great time in the warmer weather. Cheers.
Great to see you and Me-li last night at th Pelly bar in Frankston with the Fumes Claude. Thanks for putting us on the door. Hope to catch up soon. Cheerin..
That 'gushing fan' on the Coles ramp today was me. Didn't know you were at the Gearin on May 29 - hope you had a bigger crowd than the last time we spoke of.
Thankyou for being a friend of New Translation. Cool tunes on this space. We invite you to taste a section of our upcoming album with a track named 'Found'. On this track we have liberal sprinklings of Geoff Bradley and Pete Raidel (Goose) on trumpet and sax respectively, the dish finished with Tony Minnieconn's patented vocal awesomesauce. Please let us know what you think? The track will be up for the month of May so get your fill until our anticipated album release towards years end. Cheers Shaun M
