I'm pretty sure that one of them recognises Chris, but the other asks if we're in the band or "just technicians". Chris quickly jumps in and explains that we're just the roadies. The job's ok, he says, but the band are arseholes. Hoppy and I agree before pondering, "Well actually, it's just the singer....."

:lol::laugh3::lol:

1: Chris :lol:

2: new song :dance:

3: bat for lashes, already had it :D

4: R#42 :kiss:

Sarah. yeah they played your song!!!!!! we need some new old songs

Chris quickly jumps in and explains that we're just the roadies. The job's ok, he says, but the band are arseholes.

 

:rolleyes: Typical.

 

:laugh3:

Hehe Chris is so funny :lol:

 

I love the end, where Chris ask roadie to tell us about that album :nice:

Wauw, I just bought that album from Bat for Lashes and it is really awesome! I'm a fan :dance:

#42 enjoys a spot of Coldplay cricket

Well, it seems we're bringing the weather with us. Brisbane has been broodingly humid since we got here, threatening to release a cloudburst. Come the second show day, that's exactly what it did. Sydney is our last chance to catch some sun before we're out of Oz for another couple of years. Here's hoping.

 

The disappointing dampness is more than made up for, though, by the warmth of the audiences we've had over here. Amazing responses all around. Tonight's crowd were giving it the Mexican wave before the band went on and everywhere we've been in Australia they've given us the full-on mobile phone glowsticks over the Viva Remix. Singing too, has been excellent. Good on ya folks!

 

Being as we're in Australia, the fellas had someone run out and grab a cricket bat. Here they are giving it some in the car park on the first night in Brisbane. Quite idyllic - Mercury Rev's set floating out of the loading dock door, warm evening air and just the other side of the fence, a stream of traffic all coming into the gig. Apologies for the quality of the pics - but it was nearly pitch black by this time...

 

Also notable from Brisbane is the fact that Neill's new keyboard contraption got not only a mention, but a cheer on the C-Stage. Always a sucker for a moment of roadie-glory, I thought I ought to share it with you...

Neill, by the way, isn't a psychopath, he merely got a little possessed on Halloween and tried to saw off Chris's head during the gig....

 

Actually, talking of cover versions, the end of Yellow seems to have grown a new addition of late.

There's an audio on Coldplay.com that I can't embed

 

So that's the news from Brisbane. It's half four in the morning here, so I'd better get this lot uploaded so I can get a little time unconscious before we fly in the morning. Day off in Sydney - ahhhhh it's a hard life...

The English are so pale, they have to play cricket in the dark. :laugh3:

From the looks on Jonny and Chris' faces, the body guard smacked one clear to NZ. :lol:

Phil loves the cricket....where the hell is Phil! :angry:

Well at least now they have a cricket bat to fight off the Ebay zombies. Remember, ebay zombies can be killed by removing the head or destroying the brain. :D

Whooo :drunk: :wacky:

Yeah, I LOVE that pic too! That's a big dude! And the looks on their faces just say "fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckin hell!" :laugh3:

I know I'll sound like a typical American, but is there a real quick overview of the rules to cricket? I've seen it on television and got so confused I instantly went cross-eyed

:thinking: what I know about cricket......games last forever, they are as boring as shit and you drink and drink and drink beer all day.

They can be interesting on occasion. Plus you can leave it on the TV, go and do something else and come back to it :D

Whats the name of the song tacked onto Yellow there?
