The national "Decade Of Sound Awake" tour of course, which had already been postponed from 2020,  has now been cancelled due to COVID (except for the two Fremantle dates back in March) and so the Adelaide concert by Karnivool which was scheduled for last Saturday night didn't happen...

There are some promo videos currently floating around for the latest Transatlantic album, but this live performance of Transatlantic's ludicrously long, single-song, album from 2010 may be better value...
