I'm a huge Tea Party fan They usually toured out here once a year, been going to their gigs since the twilight era,

I'd just like to say a huge thankyou to Brian for getting this happening, I just received Junes CD in the post today. May's CD has been on permanent rotate on my Ipod, and June is going straight onto the iPod as I write. I just hope that the mix I'll be sending out will measure up, heh, I've already...

I will do for sure, I tour the country a lot on my Suzuki GSXR1000K6, so I'm often down in Victoria. I've had the 620FG since about 1996 or so I think. The 330/12FG I got just over a year ago, my defacto wife got sick of me drooling over the Edges 330/12 every time we saw a U2 video clip, then we sa...
