I Exist - Tour blog 4

All ages show at Shed 5 on the Gold Coast, most of this gig was in black and white.
Last time I was at this venue I Exist played on the floor, as the stage here is quite tall, especially for hardcore gigs. This time however the venue wasn't keen on this, despite all of the bands wanting to. Last time here the gig was great, so many kids were there to see I Exist, this time however it was obviously a Shai Hulud crowd, with all of the supports not getting much of a crowd reaction.
Show lit with a 430ex bounced into the roof on stage, front stage left side, and a 430ex stage right backlight.

Some photos of various touros outside the venue.

 I don't know who took the following photos, probably some combination of Jake, Jarred, Ollie and Aaron.

Overnight drive from Sydney to Brisbane, with an early morning stop at the big banana.

All ages show afternoon show at the fort in Brisbane.

Jake Willoughby took this photo.

Zaca's new band Promises played their first show.

Adrian Kelly joins merch band I Exist as the touring guitarist, and 7th member. While Aaron was teaching Kelly the songs backstage Matt Fox of Shai Hulud decided to learn '333' and played it with the band two hours later on stage at this show, I didn't take any photos of this but video of it will show up at some point.

Jake Willoughby generally refuses mic grabs, but it's not uncommon for him to just walk away when over powered by a group of kids singing invert the sun.

Shinto Katana

Shai Hulud 

This show was the worst of the tour in my opinion, not a horribly bad show, but compared to the rest it just wasn't as much fun, mainly because of the lack of crowd participation during Shai Hulud.

End of Tour

The tour was great. Every band killed it every night. Final show at the Sando sold out and was one of the best. Obviously I didn't put up many tour blogs, finding time and decent internet wasn't as easy as I'd hoped, so over the next couple of weeks or so I'll hopefully get all the photos from all the shows up. A couple of people had
to leave before the crew photo was taken; Jake Willoughby and Josh Nixon, and probably some others I've forgotten, sorry.
