TOUR DIARY: Keli Holiday Takes Us On The Road

As I sit here writing this, I'm in a place that feels all too familiar now. People everywhere, drinking glasses of wine at 10am like it's schoolies in Kuta, and I'm sitting here with some road cases. I'm excited that I got to perform my music to so many people across this beautiful country, but also it feels bittersweet as this airport Kuta party is happening at the end of the tour. Every show was a huge gift of energy from each of the cities' folk. I don't mean that in a whimsical sense. I mean that each person, in each crowd, at each show, gave me a fucking lot of their energy, so it felt easy to give a lot of mine, and for that, I thank them all from the bottom of my heart.

Sydney was biblical. Cat (on drums) is biblical. Stan on guitar is celestial. Lucylucy is a star. The crowd was giving it all. It's all meant to be, really. Like a love story. Also, everyone loves a The Bugs cover.

It was amazing to play in my hometown at my homebruva's venue, Gang Gang Cafe. It’s incredible and a must-see for everyone and anyone!

Melbourne was really hot. Sweaty hot.

Melbourne is ALWAYS the first to get out of the house to watch live music, and it's a treat to perform for people so eager to witness the litness. A true pleasure. Ta MALBURN.

RADELAIDE GOES HARD. It was so fun to DJ in the city of clubs.

Perth is a beautiful place filled with beautiful people. I got to link with Arno Faraji, Dear Sunday and others. We made some gems and then partied at Jack Rabbit Slim's, where I played a lot of Keli Holiday in between ol' Dirty Bastard and New Order.

I love you, Australia. The Holiday has just begun.
