Hello from Marseille, France! (Patreon)
Content
I write to you today from our backstage dressing room in Marseille, France. We just got off stage after another great show on our tour with Enslaved & Oceans of Slumber. 5 weeks in and a bit less than 2 weeks to go. We are having a great time and loving the opportunity to perform for so many fans and so many new people for the first time.
Over the past few days we have completed a whole bunch of videos for you guys but unfortunately the venue wifi has been very bad 4 shows in a row and we need decent internet in order to upload the files to youtube/dropbox etc. to then show to you guys. Sadly tonight in Marseille the internet is again...terrible and it will take all its effort just to allow me to post this, let alone upload videos. But hopefully tomorrow we have more luck in Barcelona!
Some of the things that have been completed and ready to upload which will be coming shortly include:
- Slovenia Video Tour Diary
- Dropbox link containing a whole heap of personal videos from Tim & Brendan on our day off wandering around Venice, Italy.
- We have a video in the works for our 3 shows in Italy including a bunch of our sight seeing adventures in Rome (one of my favourite places to visit without a doubt).
- We also have some live pro shot footage from our sold out show in Montreal. We are going to release one video to the public and a 2nd video here on Patreon only for you guys.
- For TEMPLAR'S Tim feature interview Part 2 is done and ready to upload plus we are trying to organise to film a tutorial sometime this week while we are on tour.
- For MASTER'S we are going to organise a live streaming from one of our shows- this is dependent on the wifi at the venue as to which show this will work for but we'll investigate upon arrival each day and then get in touch when we have found somewhere that will work well enough for it and update you guys asap.
- For REVERED members we are putting together a special songwriting video update going through the songwriting process for album #3 on tour and showing you a few snippets from some of the demo's we are working on. We are going to keep doing this through the songwriting and recording process (we hope to record early 2017) so that you guys get an insight into the album recording unlike what most fans get from most other bands.
- And for GRAND MASTER's we filmed a video yesterday in Brescia of us playing one of our new song's which we are going to send to you guys - you'll actually be the first people in the world to hear it! (Well...except maybe some of Enslaved who watched us play it at soundcheck the other day :p)
Plus tonight here in Marseille we recorded a demo of the drums/guitar for this song which has the working title of "Slow Start" (Xen will call it something cool eventually we promise) which we'll send to you as well.
So expect this Patreon newsfeed to be jam packed over the next week onwards!
MESSAGES- Anyone waiting to hear back on messages, bear with us and we'll get back to you ASAP as there are a few I haven't gotten back to you yet, but will be doing my best over the next few days to reply to the last few.
T-SHIRT SIZES- Revered & Master's are still owed their Ne Obluminati member T-shirts. This took longer to collect everyone sizes than anticipated and then it's been too difficult to organise getting them all printed/posted while on this tour so the aim presently is to try and have them printed waiting for us when we get back to Australia in a couple weeks time.
LANYARDS- All lanyards have been posted but the last batch was only sent last week so give it a week or two (max) and then if you haven't gotten yours by then feel free to send us a message just in case we missed someone (hopefully we haven't though!).
AUSSIE VIPS- If you're a Revered/Grand Master and wanting to attend soundcheck at one of our Aussie tour shows, simply send us a message and I'll make sure I get back to you to confirm we have your name on our VIP list ASAP. Full details and exact times will be forwarded in the week or two before the tour starts.
Lastly- If you're a Ne Oblumunati member and coming to a show here in Europe or Australia make sure you come say hi! We are often hanging out at the merch desk so never that hard to find and it's great to meet the people that making such a huge positive impact on our career (you guys).
Much love
Tim & NeO
