I really, really, really wish I could share a documentary I just saw last week with you. It was about an Australian punk band called 6FTHICK (pronounced six foot hick). THIS is the website for the doco. Like nothing else I have ever seen, this film shows just how much brutally hard work it can be playing rock and roll. The thing is though, even though after more than 13 years touring almost continuously and beating the hell out of themselves on stage (Literally! They put on the most high energy show I have ever, ever seen) they still seem to love it all. I came away from it thinking "I could never do that" It is a fantastic example of what people can and will do if they are absolutely fanatical about playing. They mention regularly driving from Brisbane to Sydney (1000km) to play a headline show, then they pack up and drive back just to save on accommodation.
