Band also got the Depeche Mode support. Actually got special guest status, in Brisbane they got to play most of Rubenesque. (10 tracks) through DM's awesome sound system. Absolutely brilliant, I'd never heard them before, I bought the album the next day on the strength of that performance, saw them a couple of times afterwards too.
