“By the time Letters To Lions come onstage, the wheels are coming off in the crowd and there’s well-oiled enthusiasm, and you don’t have to be roaring, stage-diving drunk to understand why (although there’s plenty of that too). Coming off the end of a tour, the band are in high spirits and have brought a set along to match/ It’s all big and towering, and it blows away the cobwebs to fuel a late-night sprint into darkness and chaos, grinning like an idiot on the way, heads hanging out of the windows.”

I would like to acknowledge that the gigs that are pictured here, the stages they’re played on, the bars and venues they’re held in, and the good times they represent, are all held on lands that were never ceded by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I acknowledge these First Australians as the traditional custodians of the continent, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history. I pay respect to the Elders of the community and extend my recognition to their descendants.
