Foo update

It's time for another update (yep, we know it's been a while). It will be about Tram Sessions in general, but of course also about the pledge to get Dave Grohl and the boys to jam on a tram in December. It sure is getting close...

Let's start with the campaign. Our petition on Facebook is ever growing which is great fun! The last time we looked a bit over 2000 people had signed up. Only in the last week or so, 300 people joined in. Please keep it up good friends!

What's more fun though is that we now have been in contact with the Touring Company! After a few very friendly stalking efforts (picture taken outside their office) from our/Dave's behalf, they're now aware that we're out there (rumour says that they've heard about our plans months ago...). Thanks for all your support friends! And rest assure, we won't rest until we have them jammin' on a lovely Melbourne tram!

Besides the campaign we're continuing to film sessions, the last one with New Settlement Road. We're also developing a new website, which is super exciting! Have a look at the screen shot and let us know your thoughts. It's still a few weeks away for it to go live.



I think that's enough for now, but if you want more updates, head to our Facebook page as you'll get heaps of small updates from there.

Happy Commuting!

New Settlement Road

This was a bit of a special session. We brought the tempo down and the delicate tunes up. Waz and the boys in New Settlement Road really put on a suiting set for the commuters on Tram 8 to Toorak.

We went all the way to the end stop and decided; why not just play a few songs on the way back as well? Lucky we did because the band made the day for the chef Scott, who missed his stop and then decided to stay on for the reminder of the set. "This is brilliant. Who needs to go home?", he said with a cheeky smile.

The band had travelled all the the way from Mt Eliza for the session, so they were pumped to play some songs after a long drive. A big thanks for the dedication boys!
