I woke up and a little while ago (out of the blue) and decided to check my email and happened to notice a daily email from an Australian paper that contained some big news for oldies like me.....

Midnight Oil is reforming and planning a world tour in 2017!!!!

Anyone who even remotely knows me will be aware that this is a VERY big deal.  The Oils are one of only three bands that I will 1) see on a weeknight no matter what, 2) will see at a venue that's general admission and 3) will travel to shows not in my area.

The Oils haven't toured since 2001 (Peter Garrett being in Parliament sort of broke the band up) so it's been 15 years since the last time I saw them live. No word on if there will be a new album or if they are gonna just play from the existing catalogue. They have a huge bank of music to draw from, so, no matter what. The shows are gonna be awesome.

Fuck yeah bitches, I'm excited!!!!! (And I don't get excited about much!).

It's gonna be a good day today!!!!!
