JL: The thing I love about him is he doesn’t have any boundaries. He will do anything that he fancies doing, and he’s got really good taste. When we met him for the first time, he came in, and to this day, I can’t actually tell you why, I was wondering about it this morning – I absolutely loved meeting him. I felt totally exhilarated after. I don’t even know what he said, but I just found him absolutely fascinating. Later on, maybe a year later, we had one more meeting with him, because he’s quite elusive, and I felt the same again. He’s just very inspiring. We’ve worked with many, many great bands, but he’s the one out of everybody that the young kids, every young band that we talked to about signing to Rough Trade, they would say, ‘you’ve got Dean Blunt!’

GT: He just wanted to be left alone – just put the record out, don’t ask him to do anythig – no interviews, no performances, nothing. 

JL: When we first signed him, for a moment we tried to treat it like a normal record, but he wasn’t having any of it. He was just, ‘don’t speak to me, leave me alone’, but it’s been an absolute pleasure working with him from afar, and it never ceases to amaze me the amount of people that that record has reached – so I’m saying that was a good signing. Dean just went smash, and the fact that he wouldn’t do any promotion or anything, but he reached so far, is quite an interesting conundrum.

Still one of my favourite shows. I saw them on a rooftop in Melbourne and got the tech to give me this after. Does anyone know whose handwriting it is?

sounded very very good. crowd was a bit quiet during but were receptive with the applause. first time they have played mammoth on this tour

So is it safe to say N2 will mirror N2 in Sydney? two set lists, 12 track variation, safe bet this will be N1 melbourne set list too
