    "Check In" here before and after your gigs, set 3 - everyone's drunk now!

    "Check In" here before and after your gigs, Set #2, the sequel!

    Played my first back of a truck gig on the weekend, at a car show in Western Sydney, also a first for the other guys in the band. First time with a sound desk and full PA too, it sounded awesome! Can't wait for the next one!!
