WOMADELAIDE
Adelaide
9-11 March 2007
From -20c to +45c! After the winter extremes in Massachusetts we were thrust into late antipodean summer for just 5 days. What might seem like a decadent use of aviation fuel was tempered by the fact that our hosts had offset all our carbon footprints for the gig (as well as everyone elses on the bill).

Our tented exhibition space in the heart of Womadelaide Festival drew 5,500 people in 2.5 days. To date this is the only gig we can think of where an audience member has deliberately made their way onto and through a population! Little Grace (4 years old) had no idea of the damage she caused to the millionaires in the world as she tiptoed gleefully across the 9 million capitalists - or maybe she did...?

As temperatures inside the tent must have topped 50c and we got things back in order, the local termite population took the opportunity to make off with a few of 'the people who applied for asylum to australia in 2006'. Seems even ants can get worried about over-population.
