sorry netherlands. we had to cancel tonite, mike´s lost his voice. we will be back in about a month tho.
last few days have included insane traveling and little sleep so to be honest i think i wont mind a night off. we missed our ferry to ireland and had to hang in wales will 230 am and sleep on the boat. we got a nap on the way to oxegen which i have to say was the best crowd we have ever had. dublin was fun last time but this was probably one of the most fun sets we have had on stage. i broke the kick pedal twice but both times during breakdowns no one noticed. we then took the 6 am ferry to scotland with our boys from hockey, whom we shared the stage with at both t in the park and oxegen. t in the park turned out to be gorgeous and another good crowd. rite after that we took a train to london then drove to amsterdam today. hopefully mike´s voice will catch up toinite but i dont know how anyone can expect us to stay healthy when we dont sleep.
cant complain, thats just how it works.
off to brussels tomorrow!
ps. i think the ´to kingdom come´ video is almost done and i think its gonna go over really well.
Passion Pit,
Very disappointed with the no-show in Amsterdam last night. It was the second time I’ve had tickets to your gig and it has been cancelled (London as well). Bought extra tickets for my Australian mates and had talked you guys up to heaps of people here in Amsterdam. Looks as if it is not in my destiny to see you guys live but on the plus side we got to go to Paradiso and see The Cat Empire rock the place… pity it wasn’t you guys.
Get healthy guys. No more refunds!!

You guys blew me away at oxegen, i always new you were great, but seriously you are on a whole new level now :O i CANNOT wait till november, but seriously why november its soo far away
Perhaps you could add an extra date sometime, you are worshipped in dublin and ireland.
I wish yous all the best during the coming months and hope we can see another specatular performance in november.
I have been listening to Manners on a nonstop fashion for the last couple of days…. I have to say that I admire ur work and am very looking forward to see u live anytime soon in Mexico City.
PS. Loved ur blog stories..
Cheers!

“No, I’m Holland Oates. You’re like, Peter Gabriel.”
“Hall & Oates is two separate people.”
“No, Holland is his first name and Oates is his last name.”
Brussels is the b-e-est.

You guys are keeping our brains refreshed here in New Zealand. Please come and perform!
