Pretty F**king cool. I cant believe they are playing India, how many bands have you heard of doing that. F**king awesome! Might go over Johns to try and catch the broadcast, sometimes on Sky News on foxtel they have the british version. If any1 would be able to capture it that would be great, but it will probably be on youtube anyway. I cant believe theres less than a week!!
