DOGBOY CALLING:

Excited after yesterday’s rehearsal with the Edgeland band 
to be jumping into the sky-hole tonight. A long haul sleeping 
above the heads of the world to come & see you, watching 
colours of the Earth slip beneath us. Progressively ragged 
from the inside out, eight hibernating Brits breathing recycled 
breath stagger out into the crisp clean morning of a Southern 
Autumn. Australia, home of so many great memories, good energy 
from the people we’ve played to for decades. Great music like 
Jagwar Ma still coming out’ve this beautiful country & as we fly 
over it between cities the colours of the earth call out me to 
paint the memory of their vibrant dance. Circular crops fields, 
giant pie-charts in the desert, dry riverbeds snaking like the 
veins of the world, green scrub punctuation marks in the red dust 
& isolated houses like components on a vast circuit board linked 
by the endless straights of blacktop wires. 

Bring your friends, tell your neighbours, pass the word on, we’re
gathering in Melbourne on the 25th, Sydney on the 27th –
EDGELAND alive in Australia.  

Heavy tech-support called in to prepare new equipment for 
the tour. Getting to grips with a new style of vocoder, 
different from the beautiful old Rolands Underworld uses 
has taken time, but thanks to the perseverance of a gifted 
few we achieve solution! – 
‘Four legs better than two’.
