New Oils single in time specifically for the UN Climate Change Conference - Rising Seas. Every child put down your toys and come inside to sleep / We have to look you in the eye and say we sold you cheap Let’s confess we did not act with serious urgency / So open up the floodgates to the Rising Seas New album in 2022, recorded at same time as the recent Makarrata Project, but this one is a full band album, not collab. Bones Hillman was still with us at the time. Oils confirmed for Bluesfest next year also. |

MIDNIGHT OIL ANNOUNCE ‘RESIST’: THE NEW ALBUM. THE FINAL TOUR.  Sounds good yet sad to me. |

Tossing up whether to travel to Darwin instead of just doing Perth. I saw Powderfinger in Darwin on their final Sunsets Tour, it somehow feels right that I do the same for the Oils. Hmmm... Will discuss with the wiffey over Friday night beers methinks. |

The chat about gigs. It's been a while. This went surprisingly smoothly. Sat down with a beer on Friday evening and mentioned that The Oils last tour was coming up and the Darwin idea. Wiffey was 100% into it, all good, happy days! Then checked dates and realised we already had pre-existing tickets for a festival in Perth that very same night! So it's the Oils in Perth for me this time again. |

The chat went well here too. Couple of mates are in too. Seems to easy. Pity it’s going to be seated and not general admission on the floor. |

Got seats on the floor. Hope they make it general admission standing by February. |

Well, I, for one, am very happy that ours is a seated event (except for Front GA, which is standing) . I am old and enjoy sitting. Got tickets for Row A of Section A5, so seated in the first row behind GA standing. That'll do me just fucking fine. Got Seats 3 through 6 too, so only 2 people beside me to piss off with our likely regular treks to the bar! We are sitting at those red dots there - happy days.

Sitting rules once you hit your 30s. Those seats are pretty much perfect. |

I hope those standing in front aren’t blocking your view. Have you seen gigs there before, V? |

I'm guessing the constant walk past of people will be annoying, but we'll see. If the set up is on the same scale as the Paul Kelly show I saw at Optus Stadium a few years ago then I don't think it will be that much of an issue. There will be a decent sized gap/walkway in front of us with a barrier then separating the GA section. I hope... Never been to this venue before. Hopefully there's a natural slope up from the stage back. |

There's bound to be a slope. Awesome seats, man. We're on the floor to the right of the sound desk. It's a pretty small shed seating around 6,000. |

“I am so pissed off and angry, I can’t tell you,” he says, pouring disappointed scorn on “parasites, layabouts and magic tongue merchants” who dominate the airwaves and the “highest office in the land”. This is my Peter Garrett. |
