Lets get the formalities out of the way; Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and happy holidays etc.

Well then, what’s going on in TLE land I hear you say?

Chris has relocated to Los Angeles and is wondering where the California sunshine is. He met Paul Stanley who told him that Molly had fallen off a ladder. Get well Molly. He is now back in Oz for a month and reacquainting himself with Melbourne lattes and football. He is talking in the 3rd person...a lot.

Scott is living in Byron Bay and drinking Coronas with Kram the amazing singing drummer. Summertime has always been very kind to Scott and his tan is immaculate. He sports a healthy glow.

Andy is living somewhere on the way to Tasmania and when not playing his drums can be found re-enacting the scene from Phar Lap where the horse climbs up the sand dunes. He is not a horse but he is fit.

Pyramid was fun...to be honest I think we took a few songs to find the groove but we got there in the end. Andy was annoyed because we ran out of beer after the show. We are now tuning our instruments and bracing our livers for the one and only Big Day Out which I believe is the 9th time we’ve played it, the first being way back in 1972. Some of you may be old enough to remember that momentous disco-funk set we played that day. Andy Strachan was one such lucky audience member…he was five.

BDO have always been so supportive of us this will in fact be our 5th time, its gonna be big folks. It’s always THE tour to be a part of so we are honestly very pumped to be on the bill.

ARIA’s - we were very honored and humbled to pick up two awards on the night and to those of you who voted in the live category, thank you so much. We did think that we should have been nominated for Best Children’s Album for our Hot Potato effort but you can’t win them all.

Chris had a personal win though by getting to fulfil his life long dream of playing HP onstage with the Fab Four themselves.  Aaah you shoulda been there...

So with that I bid you farewell and wish you all a happy and safe festive season and see you soon.

Yours sincerely,

3rd person (Chris Cheney)
