remembering the fully loaded tour...

On this date way back in 2005 we were in Melbourne for what we dubbed our "Fully Loaded Tour", opening for one of our favourite Aussie bands, Real Life. For Tycho Brahe the gig was memorable for two reasons - one being that the crucial distortion pedal for the bass guitar died immediately before the second-ever live performance of new song Don't Feel That Way, resulting in some very NSFW language onstage, the other reason being that yours truly was invited onstage to sing mega-hit Send Me An Angel with Real Life. (An amazing moment for me I'll never forget, although in retrospect I'm sure the Real Life fans in the audience would have preferred to hear David Sterry sing it solo!) A tiny distorted piece of video remains from that moment, and can be seen [here]. There's also a tour report with all the sordid details including trunksters, Tarago sardines, and the Bloody Idiot Girl right [here]. Click on the photo taken on this day in 2005 to see the video for Don't Feel That Way.
