Right then. Spring time is beginning here in the Northern Hemisphere, and Autumn is starting in the Southern. Better gets those Australian gigs underway....
ZZ, with another album under their belt, returns to the stage beginning March 9th. Few details have leaked out in the form of pictures and preparations info regarding the set list, so its anyone's guess. Squally contributed a great proposal - Driving While Blind, She's Just Killing Me and especially Mescalero (anything from the album would be wonderful) would be fantastic additions. Over You and Lose, Lose You would be very nice selections from La Futura as well. Let's hope they have approached rehearsals with the same open mindedness they had last year.
I anticipate having a recording of the Melbourne show. If they play anything unusual I'm gonna try to figure out how to post a sound clip here on the site - it'd be cool for everyone to be able to hear the music.
I predicted Billy would focus on his solo album in 2013 and 2014, well it looks like it ain't gonna be this year. No idea what he did over the winter, maybe he recorded, maybe he traveled? Things were pretty quiet.
I encourage those on facebook to friend Mr. Hill. Last year he and Mrs. Dust frequently posted live shots as well as backstage photos as the tour progressed. Pretty cool stuff and gives an insider's look at what the band does in their free time. Word on the street says they like to play with remote control airplanes, at least in the old days...
I'll try to shed some light on the Moving Sidewalks gigs (2 for now) as well and post details like set lists, sound clips, etc. 2012 was indeed a very exciting year, but it looks like 2013 will be full of surprises too.
Ever onward...
