Brisbane Show
The final exhibition down under
Eisley wins the battle; endorsement by TBS

Eisley's final show in Brisbane was one of my favorites. With an exciteable TBS crowd chanting "TBS! TBS! TBS!", the smaller Texas band set up their own gear literally engulfed and dwarfed by the electrically charged headliner enthusiasm. Eisley walked back into the dressing room - stealth, reserved, cautious - waiting their turn as the mob impatiently expressed their lack of need for any more 'support' bands.

That's when Adam stepped in... "I think i want to go out there and say a few words before you guys go on... would that be cool? - or, are you ok with that..." (eisley shruggs) "It's whatever you think... " Adam: "are you down?" Eisley: "sure... it's ok with us".

I will bring this to you on video because i just thought it was so amazing... Here's the headlining band's rock star briefing his audience about the band he's been wanting to tour with for years... It was a stellar introduction - one that paved the way for Eisley's brilliant set.

It was a great night. We hung out w/ Paul... eisley's original Australian fan (date back - circa: Coldplay era). Tons of fans swarmed the band after as we were driving off... and followed us to the hotel where they proceeded to get autographs and smiles. Thank You Australia for giving Eisley such a warm welcome.... thanks for coming to all the xtra shows, for being so cool... friendly... supportive. yeah, all that stuff....

SKINNY'S INSTORE
(earlier that day...) I have video!! but have to crank it out in the midst of a billion things... flying is one, but there's no power in economy... alas, 'foiled!!" But the instore was really sweet. Tons of people came out... the band signed and sold cd's and after, we walked around, bought souvenirs, ate good food, had a blast. Pics coming.... but I have to pack and head to the airport. We're all - TBS and Eisley - leaving for LA today...

We leave on the 19th and get to LA on the 19th. How weird is that... we're heading back to the past (from the future). I really gotta go ya'll... I want to put up some of the amazing instore footage soon.

I was thinking about it when I woke up this morning,It was probably one of the best days I can remember having.You guys were so nice and went out of your way big time,I'm just so sad I didn't get to say bye last night,feeling like death and then being locked out by an idiot bouncer didn't help.

Glad you guys enjoyed the country,you're welcome back anytime *hint,sooner rather than later*

Thankyou once again for everything,you guys are all so amazing

Have a safe trip home
