Having checked in recently with Brissy’s The Belligerents on the first leg of their national tour, we were happy to find that they managed to make it home in one piece, but thought we’d best check in with them again just in case.

Thankfully, despite seemingly managing to get by on a diet of ramen and beer alone, they’re back alive and well to play Parramatta festival The Plot this Saturday, alongside a stacked lineup.

Check out their new clip for ‘Caroline’ below and get a glimpse of the glamorous life of touring with The Belligerents below.

On Tour With The Belligerents

We landed in Adelaide on Friday before the show in search of some nourishment. Time for a bowl of Ramen and a cleansing ale – everything the body needs before a rock show.

Soundcheck is done and the sun is shining! Where to next, you ask? The pub. Here, Stag playfully flirts with the strict, in-house band rule of ‘no shoeys’. He’s such a trickster!

We found a nice watering hole close to the venue and began a proper team meeting. Soon enough, Jim decided it was a good idea to buy a round fireball shots (not pictured).

Show time! We always have such a rad time playing in Adelaide & were so blown away with the response to the new material. Can’t wait to get back!

Rise and shine! Jim awakens from a stupor at the crack of noon, seemingly unprepared for our flight to Perth. Fireball shots were a bad choice – clearly.

After we landed in Perth, we decided to hit the pool and freshen up. Here you can see Stag unsuccessfully trying to challenge the entire touring party along with some unsuspecting hotel guests to a swimming race.

We’re back in action and ready to go!

Perth turns out to be one of the wildest shows of the tour & we were stoked with both Gunns & JFK on support! Maybe there is something in the water over there. (Photo by Aaron Webber)
