GET LOADED
The four lads from Aussie band Front End Loader have packed up the barbie and jumped in the van to play eight gigs in NZ this month (see Tours'). Since they formed in Sydney four
years ago, Front End Loader have kept up an endless cycle of touring. First of all to every major centre in Australia (and the small towns in between), before graduating to tours of Canada, New Zealand, Europe and the USA. Richard Coley, bassist with Front End Loader, says the band is treated with a little more respect each time they return home. "There’s always the perception that no matter how well a band is doing in Australia, they're not really doing anything until they go abroad. Once you go overseas people tend to think, ‘Wow! They must be a real band’. I don’t know if it increases people’s respect for the band, or whether it’s just the natural response that everybody has, to somebody who’s been overseas to places where you yourself would like to go.”
