The line to enter Waves Nightclub in Towradgi is the kind that makes your heart sink. It snakes out through the carpark and begins to zigzag in front of Waves’ glossily-furnished beer garden. But although it’s inching forward slowly, no-one seems disheartened. Most are on beachside home turf and they’re here to see the original line-up of Tumbleweed play for the first time since ’96.

‘Words From Robin to Batman’
A friend once told me, “If someone gives you one good reason for something, it’s probably true. If they give you five or six, they’re hiding something.”
In a less stark way I’m reminded of this principle when discussing the genesis of ‘Words from Robin to Batman’ with The Kill Devil Hills vocalist and songwriter Brendon Humphries. He cites so many influences and inspirations that I begin to wonder what the one, true reason for the song is. What is he hiding?
