IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK!

It has been an eventful last couple of months for TAUN.  With the whole busyness of touring through Taiwan and Hong Kong and then doing the catch up on everything now that we are back in Perth.  Not to mention the preparations that are underway for our album recording, which in itself is a whole new project that has taken on a life of its own.

Before I get into anything else, TAUN owes it biggest, heartfelt gratitude to our great friends THE BOLLANDS  who not only instigated this tour, but did so much more in between.  Translating, Accommodating, Managing, Entertaining the list goes on and on and we will be forever greatful for the whole experience cheers guys.  To our newest Sth African brother HACK who added a whole dynamic in itself to the BOOM TOUR!  Big thumbs up to you bru.

Where to begin...
Well due to an overwhelming amount of things to do, I have to do this in installments.  So, here is installment one!

The tour began with a flight out of Perth International Airport 29th March 2012, after three flights (Perth-Singapore, Singapore-Hong Kong and Hong Kong - Kaohsiung) with little or no sleep (making us slightly delirious), a lot of disorientation (whaaat! you have to catch a train to pick up your luggage?!), a dash of panic (sorry... I don't speak very good chinese!) and a fair bit of wide eyed amusement and terror! (We are no longer in Kansas Dorothy!!).  We were collected (much to our relief) by Hack from Kaohsiung and headed back to his pad to drop off excess gear and then off to our first gig in Tainan on Friday 30th March 2012. 

Tin Pan Alley is a quaint venue that has great food, friendly staff and is well priced.  The stage is set against the brick wall of what looks like a former venue.  It is a 5 - 10 minute walk from the Tainan Train Station and has great atmosphere.
On a Friday night a whole heap of Uni Students grace the venue to drink lots of Taiwan Beer, play impromptu numbers and watch other bands play.  It makes for a great combination for bands like us.  What more could you ask for?  A supportive and slightly intoxicated audience, four Police cars arriving to check our noise pollution against the traffic noise (true story), catching up with old friends, meeting new ones, eating and drinking your fill and nothing but positive vibes to take you into the small wee hours of another day, aaaaah bliss!
