This show exceeded my expectations, for one, Felons Barrel Hall is a really nice venue looking out to the water, the stage is good, and the sound was good, and good sound is critical to a good show. 

We were supporting Lazywax, and the amazing thing about this is that in May 2021 I went to see Lazywax perform for the first time AT Felons, and I was fanboying hardcore. I’d heard Vol. 1 and couldn’t stop listening to it. Then, a year later, I’m performing with them as a support act for their headline show at the SAME venue. True honor it was.

I really like my band, but one thing we seem to do a lot of is rush the songs. Very common mistake I think for young bands.

One of our gigs supporting Donny Benet was atrocious for being what felt like 200bpm faster than usual, so I wanted to focus on not rushing for this show, if we could do that, I was stoked.

I find taking the time before a song starts to look around and make sure my band and I are all on the same page really helps this, and it really did make a difference on the night. What was nice is that a lot of my friends came to support me and I could see them all in the crowd.

My good friend Jonty Brown (Go Tell Media) took all of these photos. By the end of the night there were quite a few stokesauce stickers stuck to tables and cups. 

I love my friends Hans and Muller, long live LAZYWAX

This is our first time playing a festival together and I’ve really been looking forward to being here with you all today, I’m Julian Munyard and the songs you’re about to hear are from an EP released last year, I’m Julian Munyard and I hope you all enjoy the next hour of music lets do it.

Thank you, (drink some water)

In 2 weeks a new song is coming out and you guys are the first to hear it, quite frankly I’m over the moon about it. It’s called Don’t You Love Me Yet. Lets get it 

Don’t you love me yet

I’m going to take this moment to introduce the band, to the right of me we have Jack Curry on Keyboard, Bakani Kombanie on percussion and vocals, Sam Ayling on Bass, and finally Max on the tubs. Alright, 

Treasure Chest

Over to the left of me is a little stall with some merch, we got some really cool stickers you can grab after the show. This song is called okay.

Okay

Bakani and I often play at a local bar called sneaky baron in Maroochydore, and the song we’re about to play is out favourite number to pull out of the bag so today we thought we’d play it. 

Cover 1 (Hey Ya)

As I said earlier I’m releasing a new song in two weeks, but I’ve been writing a lot of new content. and this song is about a guy who wakes up to find a man taking photographs of him outside his house.

Camera Man

Thank you. Talk in Pictures is a EP I released last year, which was born from being in and out of quarantine most of the year, and the next couple of songs are from that EP. This one is Harley Benson

Harley Benson

I wrote this number about the lies that media can tell through the hole in your living room wall. It’s called Television 

Television

This is another new song, I heard a guy talk about songs with longer melodies, so instead of writing a song with 2 3 or 4 chords, I opened to the idea of using 6 t or 8 chords in a progression, and this is the result. This is steaming cup.

Steaming Cup

Sing along if you know this song

Cover 2 (LSD)

A few years ago when I was 14, I wrote this song, and I always played it acousticly, just me and my guitar, but today were playing it with my beloved band, and it feels like a brand new song. It’s called chasing the wind.

Chasing the Wind

As I said earlier, the talk in pictures EP was born from last years lockdowns and so forth, and this track is about being stuck on online school and really wanting to surfing with my friends.

Surfing

Thank you. This is an unreleased track, and its about a Purple Man. 

Purple Melvin
