Simeon is back in Australia after doing his first shows in Europe. Solo and acoustic, he did 10 concerts across the Czech Republic. "I loved the experience", said Simeon. "I can't believe how welcoming and appreciative the Czech people were. I was constantly asked when I would return and if I could bring the band. I'm gonna see what I can do... maybe an extensive European tour next year? It's amazing how similar aspects of Czech culture are to Australian... Czech is full of Hotels and clubs, serving the most beer per capita in the world. Australia's gotta be pretty close. I felt at home playing in these venues and sharing my songs and stories about life. We may be people who grew up on opposite sides of the planet, but we all want excitement and work through the same questions about life... and Czechs know how to enjoy a concert. I'd never been asked for 3 encores before playing in Czech!" Now that Simeon's back in the country he's working on a new album and doing numerous performances including a VIC regional mini-tour with A77 and Rhinosaur. See Performance page for details.
