Hey Guys, Christina Sophie is just a great chick and she wrote this after a Vagrants gig. You might have to translate it, but hey, that is a cool challenge.

"Thank's for rockin' out with "The Vagrants"
Hallo ihr Lieben,

ich hatte dieses mal echt keine Ahnung, wie ich meinen Post anfangen soll zu schreiben.
Aber ich will mich jetzt einfach mal versuchen. ;)
Es war Freitag, der 13. (Mai.)
Viele denken es sein ein Pechtag, aber das Kann ich so gar nicht verstehen.
Dieses Jahr war es einer der besten Tage überhaupt.

Als ich gelesen habe das „The Vagrants“ nach Mühlhausen komen würden, dachte ich: „Okay, kann man sich ja mal anhören.“
Ich hatte vorher im Internet schonmal in die Lieder reingehört, und fand diese ziemlich gut.
Das diese Band aus Australien kommt, ist natürlich ein weiterer Pluspunkt gewesen.
Naja am besagten Abend des 13. Mai’s bin ich dann mit ein paar Freunden in die „KuFa“ in Mühlhausen gegangen.

Mit der Vorband „Pastic Society“ gab es einen super Einstieg in den Abend. Danke euch vielmals dafür. Ich rede jetzt mal nicht so viel von eurem tollen Auftritt, da es ja eigentlich um Australien geht in diesem Blog. ;)



Das Autogrammposter an meiner Wand :)
Daher auch der Name des Post's ;)
Aber nun zum eigentlichen Thema:

„The Vagrants“

Ich weiß bis heute noch nicht, wie ich den 13. Mai in Worte fassen soll...
Nach dem Auftritt der Vagrants hab ich zu Paula gesagt: "Komm, die sprechen wir an und holen uns Autogramme!" Ich glaub sie war anfangs skeptisch, aber ich bin dann einfach drauf los.
Sie sind echt supernett. Danke Steve vielmals für das nette Gespräch und der ganzen Band für den tollen Auftritt. Leider habe ich weder Fotos noch Videos von dem Auftritt, da meine Speicherkarte von der Kamera den Geist aufgegeben hat, bevor ich die Dateien runterziehen konnte.
So kann ich meine Erinnerungen leider nur in Text- und nicht in Bild- und Videoform mit euch teilen.
Ich kann nur eins sagen: Nächstes Jahr sind sie wieder in Europa und auch in Deutschland auf Tour, wie sie erzählt haben, also geht zu einem der Konzerte! ;)

The Vagrants come back!! bringing Australian Rock on another European Tour

Just wanted to let you all know that I am back on The Vagrants blog and of course I need to keep it a bit more updated. All of the next gigs for our European Tour 2011 are up on www.myspace.com/vagrantsmusic

Hope you are all having a great year so far. If you want to join our facebook it is

Cheers,
Steve
PS, I am living in St. Anton Austria and snowboarding. As with our indie rock, our indie attitude and being a typical Australian Rock band, travelling is all part of the process. My lovely wife Renate Iorio, Renate Ludwig is still in Melbourne, and she and the band, all of The Vagrants will join me here in April.

The Vagrants at the Brunswick Hotel

Known for blazing live shows, The Vagrants will be doing a last sneaky little gig at the Brunswick Hotel, 140 Sydney Rd, on Saturday Night, Dec. 11th. It is a fund raiser with 20 bands, and The Vagrants have been asked to headline the event. Front chick Renate Ludwig and songwriter Steve Iorio are both suckers for a good cause. The Vagrants have been an institution in the Melbourne music scene for 6 years and have recently stopped doing shows. This is the only gig they have booked and the future is very uncertain. With 3 CD's out, there will be plenty of new and old music for all to rock out !!! Facebook/thevagrants. Rumors of drug rehab, breaking up, heading back to Europe will all be forgotten once The Vagrants cross the white line, get on stage and ROCK THE FUCK OUT!!!

The Vagrants NEWS: I leave Melbourne Dec. 15th to live in St. Anton, Austria for winter until Easter. The Vagrants will do a European tour in May. It's a healthy decision, I love Austria, the job, money, snowboarding, and the opportunity to practice my language skills! I love my wife, and she is very understanding. 18 years together and she still say she is going to miss me. See you there for a bit of the white stuff!

RIP Phillip Dark Rock Mullenger

Rest in peace my friend Dark!! Thanks for everything you gave to me, Renate and your support of The Vagrants while you were alive. I am glad there are so many that want to pay respects now, but I also hope you knew while you were alive how much we all loved you. Sometimes I think it is harder to live than to die, so life without you mate will be a little more lonely and empty. Flamboyant and brave, but a caring softy on the inside. You were the perfect combo.

The Vagrants Steve Iorio says...

Well we are all praying for Dark!!! Karie has done an amazing job keeping us up to date, but it is not looking good at the moment. Dark is a fighter, and I am sure he will not go down without a huge fight. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=597034934&v=wall&story_fbid=445603319934#!/profile.php?id=100000279524011

Love from The Vagrants, Steve Iorio, and Renate Ludwig

Vagrants Recording!!!

Well guys the first recording session is done. We got 6 songs done in a day!!! Drums, bass, rhythm guitar and a guide vocal. Day 2 we did extra guitar parts, and some re amping of the bass. We also listened to the takes that we did.

It is a bit of a dilemma at the moment because Andy Gardner and Ben Redlich were not always available to do all the gigs and recording so Renate and I have used Brett Spicer and Connor O'Neill for recording of the first few songs. It feels weird to not have Andy there for sure, but it has gone really well and Renate is singing extremely well.

I LOVE / HATE recording. It takes so long to get the microphones set up and actually EQ'd, line levels set, placement of the mic's for good sound and not in the way, and THEN we have to hit them all consistently to get the right sound. It too 6 hours to set up the drums!!! BUT... the sound is awesome. The waiting is torture but like most things in life, you go thru a bit of pain to get a result you really want and strive for.

Cheers,
Steve
