Maaaan. Got a tears in my eyes after seeing that. Didn't think I would, seeing as I'm sitting in bedroom watching it rather than actually at it.

Kinda surprised myself :p

Would love to see Chris do more of that stuff...just not with TLE - more of a side project type thing (but without TLE having to take a break for him to do so :p)

You're worse than me!

I dunno what night that was but there are a couple of errors in it that he didn't make in Adelaide. Hopefully the last show gets taped as some people are picking, because they seem to be getting better every performance...as you'd expect.

[Colezy]

Yeah. I don't expect much from the guy!

Also, I was supposed to write "got a tear in my eye" not "got a tears in my eyes" :p

[mattheal]

the one i posted was from burwood theater in perth so that was what tuesday night?

and yeah i think that after 2 weeks of shows he has it pretty well down pat for freaking awesome :)

[Madtwins]

Thanx for your video Matt!!!! It's *ucking amazing!!!! Good quality of sound! We impressed buy Chris playing and singing!

[The Dying Start]

*ucking amazing is true...but you should have seen it in the flesh. Riaowl.

[Madtwins]

If we could get to AU now we defenetly will be at the White album gig, you know it.

[Brad]

I was having a chat to Phil during a shoot yesterday about the shows. He said that the saturday night show was his favourite of the tour. The new album's pretty rockin' too.

[mattheal]

saturday at the opera house? yeah that was pretty fucking good :)

and i'm guessing you mean the new grinners album?

[Brad]

Yeah sorry mate, my typing is all over the place tonight. I've been writing like crazy this week. Saturday night at the Opera House and I did mean the Grinners album.

[mattheal]

awesome to both. saturday night was just plain awesome.. best concert i've ever been too (which isnt saying much)

and yeah new grinners sounds sweet. want to get a complete copy of "comeback" already though

[Brad]

I was there as well. Good to see Chris getting the first standing ovation of the night. While my guitar was freaking epic.

I got an early copy of the new Grinners album. No artwork or anthing, but the music's good.

[mattheal]

dodgey sound, but the full of while my guitar here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-lgCSCDBm4&feature=related)

[_jimmy_]

I pray to god that a dvd comes out

[mattheal]

me too, other wise its an epic waste of something this so very awesome

[The Dying Start]

I concur in under ten characters

[Brad]

One of the guys at the merch stand said that they were filming all the concerts to edit together for a dvd, but he could've been full of shit.

[The Dying Start]

I heard similar but it was regarding a CD. And i didn't see any cameras at the show i went to....

[mattheal]

I didnt see any cameras anywhere, and i was right down the front, wouldnt they want to get nice up close footage of them?

I think if they had been doing any recording of all the shows it would have been audio for a CD

[The Dying Start]

I'll take anything at this point.

[_jimmy_]

I'll take anything at this point.

thats what she said ;)

[mattheal]

From the white album facebook page

The White Album Concert was performed for the last time at the State Theatre last night. The producers are working on a live CD recording

Better than nothing :woot:

[Loaded-Gun]

Saweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!:)

[The Dying Start]

Sweet like chocolate. La Di Da.

[stix]

So im guessing the rumours about a DVD shoot at the State Theatre didnt happen?

Did anyone go and see any big boom cameras?

Just got back to city and pretty happy to see all your stories/videos/mp3s guys :wub: Thanks!

[The Dying Start]

Who is "lost through the lens"?

[Kacky]

Ahhh so much to read.

Glenn, that person is obviously a photographer! :p

[The Dying Start]

Well duh little Canada. I was wondering if they were in or around these parts, because it rings a bell. And i don't want to offend anyone with my comments. for a change...

[Kacky]

I was just being a smartass. You know it. ;)

[Caity]

Phullup had a red shirt on that night.

Caity, they're from one of the Sydney gigs.

Ahh cheers guys. The others are wearing pretty much the exact clothing so took 3 out of 4 to mean it was the same night :p

[Colezy]

Who is "lost through the lens"?

Shanti Roy.

Does her name sound familiar?

[The Dying Start]

No. So i now feel confident in labelling her photos ill-focussed and full of annoying motion blur.

Having said that, they're better than mine...of which none exist.

[Colezy]

yeah, they're just point and shoot pics. Wonder if we'll ever see many professional ones?

[The Dying Start]

Possibly not. There didn't seem to be many photographers buzzing around.

RE: Possible live CD

I interview Phil Bathols today, Director of Spiritworks, for a uni assignment of mine.

Amongst other things we were talking about, I asked about the live CD/DVD rumour - figured I'd go straight to the horse's mouth!

He said that it won't be a DVD, they're just working out what they were able to record with the equipment & what's usable, but there's also a lot of legal issues to work around as well, so assuming that all is fine, we'll have a CD ASAP :)

Might post the article when it's done, he said some really interesting stuff. Loverly guy!

[Burner]

Here is a another link to While My Guitar Gently Weeps. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-lgCSCDBm4&feature=related) It sounds like its done off a digital camera though so it hasn't got the best quality but it looks fine and it is from a different show. And it has the entire song, so you can listen and watch in awe at his amazing solo.

[mattheal]

forget that, this shit is where its at (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyKvOaYEcD4&feature=related)

:woot:!!

EDIT: and they have other awesome quality vids: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=ChezBerryxXx&view=videos&query=white+album

[thelivingvines]

wow- those are brilliant. Can anyone rip the audio?

[mattheal]

hit up www.dvdvideosoft.com and get the youtube to mp3 converter and you'll be set

[FlyingV]

Been listening to this Album alll day. Kinda bummed I didn't go. Chris belting out Helter Skelter would be a blast!

[TaylorLovesChrisCheneyx]

Chris belting out Helter Skelter would be a blast!

That was my favourite song that Chris did.
It was really good :)

[Wild Turkey]

Been listening to this Album alll day. Kinda bummed I didn't go. Chris belting out Helter Skelter would be a blast!

Has it Been Released!?

[Colezy]

Pretty sure he was listening to the original White Album.

[FlyingV]

haha sorry to confuse you, yeah the original.
One question, did they play wild honey pie? and if so, what was the point? Isn't it about 53 seconds long? :ermm:

[mattheal]

Tim did that song and the one straight after it as well ;)

[Wild Turkey]

Haha i was gonna say! :p

[Caity]

Sorry to dredge up the thread, but I finally finished the article I wrote about the gigs, and wondered if you guys wanted to read it? I don't want to post it if no one wants to read it haha!

Of course! Especially considering bad news I heard from Chris - will be no CD released!! Arrrgh. :mellow:

[mattheal]

WHAT NOW!!? Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :(

[Caity]

Oh no, really? Last I heard, there were issues with legalities ... bugger!

[Caity]

Hope you like it :)

There are some things you grow up knowing not to do. You wouldn’t try to create a masterpiece and sell it to Picasso’s greatest admirers. You wouldn’t try to play a game of cricket in front of Don Bradman’s biggest fans. So what possessed four Australian musicians to believe they could perform a Beatles album in its entirety in front of thousands of Beatles’ diehard fans, and come out the other side?

Several years ago, whilst coordinating a similar event at the Sydney Opera House, two well-known producers had an idea. What if four regular Australian musicians took on the infamous, beloved White Album and made it their own? Would they be revered and admired, or would Beatles fans across the country be horrified at the thought of strangers playing some of their favourite songs?

The proof is in the pudding, as the saying goes. Coinciding with the 40th birthday of the album, five shows were announced; one each in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane. Within days, all were sold out and extra dates were added to the tour to cope with the popularity of the concert.

“We knew when we got the amazing lineup that we had a problem on our hands. We anticipated big numbers but it was still a surprise,” said Phil Bathols, Director of Spiritworks, the production company for the White Album concert.

“Tim (Woods) and I have a couple of motivations for shows like this. We like to be excited about what it is we are trying to create and we need to feel that it is commercially viable. Both boxes were ticked with the White Album concert.” Bathols said.

Australia’s own Fab Four are well-known, successful musicians in their own right, with several ARIA awards and over 20 albums between them. Musical Director Stuart D’Arietta handpicked the artists, having worked with and known them for many years.

Chris Cheney is the frontman of The Living End, a punk rock band who have been filling the airwaves with their unique sound since the early 1990’s. Chris is no stranger to supergroups, having performed in a tribute to Stevie Wright among other recent involvements.

Josh Pyke, a successful solo artist, is considered the newbie of the group, releasing his first album in 2007. Since then, he has shot to fame with several notable tracks including Lighthouse and Make You Happy.

Grinspoon’s Phil Jamieson has been off the radar recently, buried in the studio with his band working hard to produce their latest album, Six to Midnight. Rearing his head long enough to perform the White Album concerts, Jamieson also performed with Cheney in the Wright’s supergroup.

Tim Rogers is the eccentric and eclectic frontman of You Am I, a largely indie band rising to fame in the early 1990’s and enjoying that fame ever since. Rogers is renowned for his entertaining live performances and comedic behaviour.

“They’re all great mates and great musicians,” Bathols said of the group, putting into words a fact immediately obvious to audience members, with the onstage camaraderie and antics as entertaining as the performances themselves.

The White Album is one that Beatle’s fans are particularly proud of. Phil McKenzie has been a diehard fan of The Beatles since the age of 5, and considers the White Album to be his favourite by far.

“The music is so diverse, with so many brave ideas.” McKenzie says. “It was new and exciting and it caught the world’s imagination, they were prepared to push their own boundaries and remarkably it worked.”

Both Bathols and McKenzie unanimously agree that the performances were done brilliantly, bringing justice to the White Album and the Beatles themself.

“Certainly, the resulting show worked ideally,” McKenzie says. “They each brought an element of themselves to the songs they performed yet they managed to not stray from the original.”

“I hadn’t expected to be blown away by what Chris Cheney brought to each of his songs,” McKenzie continues. “His performances of While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Helter Skelter were the highlights for me, his playing was nothing short of sensational.”

“We were thrilled with the way they performed,” Bathols says. “They did a brilliant job, they definitely exceeded expectations. They were enjoying themselves and it showed.”

Though Bathols was born the year after the White Album was released, he understands the significance the album held for Tim Woods, his partner in crime.

“Tim was a very young man when it came out, it holds strong memories of that era in his life,” Bathols says. “It’s been great for him, he’s been able to relive his youth and have some fun, earning money at the same time.”

Bathols admits finding artists brave enough to take on another artist’s masterpiece can be a challenge but hopes that the White Album concerts might be enough to change this perception for both artists and managers.

“They think it’s a big daggy, but what we demonstrated this time is that it doesn’t need to be daggy – it can be really cool,” Bathols says. “All of the artists benefited enormously, they were exposed to a whole new audience they wouldn’t normally see.”

Staying true to the album, the concerts performed the tracks as they appear on the album with the exception of Revolution 9.

The 17-piece backing band, featuring strings, horns, drummers and guitars introduced the show with Can You Take Me Back, and complemented each artist beautifully, as they each performed several songs individually as well as Revolution and Ob La Di, Ob La Da together as a group.

To be continued ...

[Caity]

Following on ...

Recorded in 1968 following a trip by the Beatles to India, the White Album emerged as a critical and commercial success.

To date, it has sold more than 19 million copies worldwide, and is listed as the 10th highest selling record of all time, number 10 on the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and one of TIME Magazine’s “All Time 100 Albums”.

The influence the Beatles had on rock music and popular culture was immense. The commercial success they enjoyed started an immediate wave of changes.

“Once they were exposed to the wider world, their popularity increased dramatically,” McKenzie says. “Their look suited a wide audience of teenagers looking for their own generations’ singing ‘stars’, the music was great and fabulous to dance to.”

“The due reverence came later though,” McKenzie continues. “Their ability to explore new ways of writing music was unique. Any musician can tell of another musicians influence on their own music, yet The Beatles created without a template.”

Various artists in the decades since the Beatles arrived on the music scene have listed the Fab Four as heavy influences.

Chris Cheney says that he “always loved the sound of The Beatles when they let loose and sounded tough, and to me The White Album has a perfect balance of rock’n’roll abandonment with the incredible songwriting skills they’re so revered for.”

The influence stretches further than music careers, however. “It’s hard to imagine growing up without The Beatles. From the nursery rhyme Yellow Submarine to the songbooks we got in primary school with Help From My Friends, they have been omnipresent in my life. They have provided a soundtrack to so many moments, I mean, my wife walked down the aisle to I Will, for Christ’s sake.” Phil Jamieson says.

Taking on the White Album was no easy feat for the artists themselves. In the concert’s program, Cheney is honest about how they felt prior to performing the album.

“It’s so beautiful and it’s too clever,” Cheney says. “This is the biggest of them all and we know many of the people who come to this concert will have imbibed the whole album – word for word, note for note – so it’s been our goal to really get behind the sentiment of the music while putting our own stamp on it.”

The concerts may be over and the instruments all packed away but there is no doubt that the experience will live on in the minds of all who performed, assisted and saw the concerts.

“It was a great project, I loved working on it and I miss it now but I have a feeling we’ll do it again in some way, shape or form,” Bathols says.

For Beatles fans around the world, we can only hope.

[Kacky]

Oh no, really? Last I heard, there were issues with legalities ... bugger!

That's what Chris was getting at when Yana asked him about it, I think. The recordings are in "the vault" and from how it sounded, they wont see the light of day.

Would be fantastic to hear some though. :sleep:

[mattheal]

12 month BUMP for this gem from the white album concert fecesbook page

A Rumour but a strong one - the release of a DVD could be just around the corner!

[The Dying Start]

That's a gem alright!

[Amur]

ahhh hopefully it will be released indeed! :ohmy:

[WhitefalconTLE44]

I hope so!!!!!!!!!!:woot:

[jesseka]

Such a fantastic night - I was lucky enough to be in the front row.

Nearly got kicked out for filming the best part of the whole night - while my guitar gently weeps. that solo was incredible.

I would buy the DVD just for that song

:woot:

[Shadow]

So, still no news since that facebook post in December about a possible DVD release? Kind of disappointing to have it teased and still no news, although the fact that they bothered to say anything means they're at least still thinking about it or trying to make it happen.

[The Dying Start]

No news, alas. Someone really needs to provide sexual favours to someone who can release it.

[iplaythefool]

No news, alas. Someone really needs to provide sexual favours to someone who can release it.

I am more than willing ;)

[livingendrock]

dont know if anyone has seen this or not. It was posted on youtube about a year ago. Certainly looks like there WAS a release in the works. Such a shame :(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_WnvjRVSWQ&feature=related

[mattheal]

awww fuck i dont even have sound and thats awesome.

ok seriously we need to put together a petition to get something released.

[The Dying Start]

Let's get the petish owwwwnnnnn.

[All_torn_down16]

That is awesome indeed. It just makes me want a CD/DVD to be released even more now! I'll sign a petition for sure.

[tlelover91]

Ok I'm in, I'll sign too!

[The Dying Start]

I'll sign anything!

[Amur]

the fact that it was posted a year ago but hasn't been released yet makes me sad. :mellow:
nice video, backward jumping on the piano looks a bit awkward though :laugh:

[Mattbound]

Yes! This definitely has to be released as a DVD! Was an amazing concert!
And I'm sure they'd have no worries selling plenty of copies.
My Dad keeps telling me he's so suprised it hasn't been released as a DVD,
and I totally agree! Let's get this partition going! I remember they wouldn't let
people video record on their cameras or take pics, and I got told off during the gig,
so I would love to have a DVD to re-live it!

On a side note, I miss seeing Chris throw up his guitar and catch it at the end of the show like in this video. Maybe it's cos he dropped the falcon that time, but still it's pretty exciting to watch, and the last few times he hasn't done it. Feel free to start again Chris ;)

[Caity]

I have a few vids on my phone from this, I realised the other night!

That promo is awesome. Love Cheney.

[Colezy]

That backwards jump onto the piano is kinda hot :p

[Caity]

That backwards jump onto the piano is kinda hot :p

Isn't it?!

[May]

That backwards jump onto the piano is kinda hot :p
Just kind of?? :p

Oh man... This was, what? two years ago?? Why oh why hasn't it been released. Would have gladly ordered a copy on the nights if it would have secured production of it... :wub:

So. How do we go about setting up a petition? And who do we need to send it to, cos I'm serious. We need this shit!

[Habibster]

Release that shit naow.

[Caity]

Phil Bathols is one of the guys at Spiritworks from memory, I have his contact details ... I could email him and ask for a point in the right direction?

[May]

Please do! :flowers:

[Caity]

Consider it done.

[May]

Awesometastic!!

[Mitch-PTV]

That backwards jump onto the piano is kinda hot :p

Isn't it?!

Just kind of?? :p


Note to self: Jump backwards on more pianos.... the ladies love it...:ninja:

and yes! ILL SIGN WHAT I HAVE TO SIGN!

[Caity]

Bahahaha. Oh it's the way to get the ladies for sure. I'm tempted to ask the boy I'm 'flirting' with at the moment whether he can jump backwards onto a piano whilst playing guitar.

[whiteshoescheney]

i dunno if i really count but ill sign :D

[May]

Note to self: Jump backwards on more pianos.... the ladies love it...:ninja:
Works particularly well if your name's Chris Cheney... :happy:
And "ladies" please, Mitch, you know I ain't no lady...
and yes! ILL SIGN WHAT I HAVE TO SIGN!
Yes. Once it's established, EVERYONE WILL!!!! :D

[Caity]

Email conversation as follows:



Hi Phil,

I'm not sure if you remember me, I interviewed you for a university assignment a few years back around the time of the White Album tour. I also recently added you on LinkedIn!

I am a member of The Living End's forum (Chris Cheney is the lead singer) and the subject came up recently about whether or not we would ever see a CD or DVD released of the White Album tours. Someone found a link to a YouTube clip which was in Japanese for some reason, but looked like a promo of a CD/DVD so we were interested!

I wonder if you have any idea if this will ever happen? If not, can you point me in the right direction of who to ask?

I hope all is well with you otherwise & look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards
Caitlin
Hi Caitlin,

At this stage we have no plans to release a DVD/CD in the near future.


All the best,


Phil

Hi Phil,

Thank you for getting back to me so promptly, I appreciate it!

I know that a couple of the forum members were wanting to put together some sort of petition for it - is there somewhere they could send it?
Thanks
Caitlin



Sure, send it to me.

Cheers,


Phil
So!

If someone wants to organise a petition, whenever it's ready let me know and I will pass it on to Phil :)

[Habibster]

Good work Caity :)

Might be an idea to get people from other forums/band fan pages to sign it,like You Am I fans, etc. Maybe with a link showing the decent quality video posted a few pages back. Surely there are beatles fans that would sign it, also.

[Caity]

I know you can set up online petitions, so we could share it on Facebook as well - with the whole 6 degrees of separation thing, it'd end up on those forums anyway haha!

[Colezy]

Nice work, Caity!

I'll definitely pass it on to everyone I know!

[NowhereTown]

http://www.ipetitions.com/ maybe? There are others, but this one looks like the neatest. How many signatures do you think we would need to actually get them to produce it? 1000? 5000?

[Colezy]

Just kind of?? :p

I'll save the complete fan girly-ness for that place :p

[Kacky]

That backwards jump onto the piano is kinda hot :p

Haha! Agreed. I would love for a release of this!

[Colezy]

It's the best I could do with my limited knowledge and when I should really be asleep :p

[Kacky]

Hot. Now we can watch it over and over again :p

Who knows! I reckon we aim for 5000 then see what happens. I think we'd get that many, but if it looks like it's going higher, then we should aim for 10k!

[NowhereTown]

I'd too be happy with 5k.

I'm 100% sure he was jumping off the piano, but they played it backwards. :huh:

[mattheal]

Nope I 100% remember him doing the jump backwards onto the piano during the piano break in Birthday.

[whiteshoescheney]

does anyone know if this had anything to do with the white album tour?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnbHec-wFxo

cause it has Nick Cester in it and he wasn't in the tour?

[NowhereTown]

I think that's something different, as it's got the spider air man too, and non of the others involved with the wa tour.

[Shadow]

So there's no plan to release a CD/DVD... and yet they've teased it multiple times (from memory) on their facebook page? WHY DO THAT?!

[NowhereTown]

Okay people! I have set up a petition, which can be signed here. (http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/whitealbumconcert/) Now we just need to promote the heck out of this thing! Post it on other forums, websites, facebook, force your friends and family to sign it, hold people hostage til they do, do what ever it takes to get the signatures people!

If there is anything you think needs changing or added, jut let me know and I'll sort it out.

[spikeskug]

aaaaannnnnd signed! ;)

[Caity]

Done & done. Great work Jarrad!

[Caity]

Guys, if you have Twitter, be sure to post it there & include an @ mention to The Living End's official page and anyone else you think has a bit of 'sway' - let's do this!

[Caity]

I've @ mentioned it to Triple J as well and asked them to mention it on-air - figure we might as well aim big!!

I thought it might be good to keep Phil @ Spiritworks in touch with our progress - if it seems like it's taking off, then I'll tell him when we hit 1k, 2k, 3k etc so he knows that we are serious!

[All_torn_down16]

Yay, we're getting somewhere! Just signed and got my dad too as well. I'm confident we'll definitely get at least 5k in signatures...you've gotta be optimistic!

[NowhereTown]

I think of we could convince Rae to post it on the official TLE Facebook we would get heaps of signatures, especially considering they have 20k+ fans on that page alone

[Caity]

Yeah agreed. C'mon Rae!

[Sabrestorm]

Just signed it. I didn't go along to it and really wish I did now.

[mattheal]

Guys when you sign it, do it with your facebook account, then it'll post it up for you straight away.
also I've put it on TLE's wall on facebook.

[tlelover91]

Signed, signed, and signed :D Now to get people I know to sign it...

[mattheal]

I think as long as someone posts / comments on the ones on the various facebook pages every so often they should stay at the top,

TLE has 90k fans, surely if we even got a 10th of that just from the TLE fans we would be well on our way?

[mattheal]

Just posted it on the couple of remaining pages for the white album concert

You would think! We're up to 39 and it's Day 1, so once people start to sign and share it, we'll see some good numbers. I've had the whole family sign it so far!

[mattheal]

Yeah my sister has signed up (she was at the concert with me).
I think a few mates have gotten involved too

[Caity]

My mum came with me as well :) and my uncle haha.

I'm really positive we get some good numbers!

[Caity]

We're up to 49 - reckon we can hit 50 tonight?

[mattheal]

Possibly, has someone put it on the facebook pages of the other 3 guys?

[Mitch-PTV]

i recon if someone puts it on the beatles facebook, we could get quite a few hits!

[May]

Done - they have upwards of 20 mill fans on FB, so reckon that might help ;)

[The Dying Start]

Has it been posted on the associated Facebook pages too? Grinspoon, You Am I, Josh Pyke et al?

[mattheal]

Its on the Grinners one, not sure about You Am I or Mr Pyke

[NowhereTown]

Has it been posted on the associated Facebook pages too? Grinspoon, You Am I, Josh Pyke et al?

I covered these yesterday. I put it on;
The Living End
Grinspoon
Tim Rogers
You Am I
Crucial Music
Josh Pyke

If you can think of others, give it a go.

[NowhereTown]

Up to 73 signatures!!! and i have put a spiffy new layout on the petition page too. Go check it out!

[mattheal]

ok my thinkings for today, we need to get Mick to put it on Chrischeneygear.
the forums for the other guys. and someone on twitter hit it at the Friends Of Josh Pyke one, they'll ruv it rong time.

[May]

V noice Jazmeister! :D

[mattheal]

77, this is either going to fizzle out now, or go freaking crazy with signatures.

[Caity]

I'm hoping for the latter! My uncle posted twice, love it!

[mattheal]

We all are hoping for option two Caity!

[NowhereTown]

Alright, so I emailed Friend of Josh Pyke and they are gonna get on board and post it up on there site and any social media that they use. So hopefully that will give us a good boost in signatures.

I also emailed tom and alex at triple j to see if they can plug it on the show or the podcast, so hopefully they can help us out there.

[Colezy]

I know (and by 'know', I mean we follow each other on twitter & I've seen her at gigs :p) a girl who is involved with the Friends of Josh Pyke thing, so I'll get in touch & see if she can help out as well.

[Caity]

Great work guys! Do the Beatles have an active forum? Or are all their fans too old :p

[May]

Oi!

Anyhoo, there is a FB Beatles page with 20 mill followers that I and another fan posted the link to... So if a few of those sign it...

[MyWeepingGuitar]

That is awesome...wish he would do that on my piano! ;)

Can no longer see the petition posted on JP or Tim Rogers pages so reposted... also added to Basement Birds.

[Mitch-PTV]

I emailed a couple of blogs to see if they would write something about it. It's the white album, plus 4 great Aussie musicians so hopefully they do :)

[The Dying Start]

I sent it to a guy I know and he might have signed it.

[mattheal]

98 signatures

[Amur]

hmmm looks like no one from TLE russian community signed this, though I posted a link and asked them to! :mad: very very bad, and these people call themselves fans! now I won't feel sorry if TLE don't ever come to Russia. :angry:

[mattheal]

There is still heaps of time Yana, Keep at them!

[mattheal]

Friends of Josh Pyke has posted it up on Twitter and Facebook

[Habibster]

Is there any way to make the petition more visible on the forum. Like, maybe give it its own thread or something? Or put it on the first page of this thread?
Just so that lurkers dont have to scroll through loads and loads of pages to find it. :flowers:
