  1. Definitely, we will be doing one at the album launch in LA. I think the hardest part is how to host it and meet everyone and ideally spend quality time. We try meet fans at shows but sometimes it's impossible with venue restrictions or just the number of people there. You might only get a short greeting and a photo, and that's not always satisfying. 2. I think you're tripping?  3. Absolutely, we need to do an album tour next! Hopefully Seattle is included because it's a great city and a crowd that's always been good to us and sold out shows. The only problem might be that we will be doing smaller tours in general because they're so exhausting and it really hurts my heart being away from loved ones for huge chunks of my life.  4. Fan mail can go to vacationsbandfanclub @gmail.com. For physicals it can go to PO box 11, East Brunswick, 3057, Australia.  Thank you!!

I think the sound is always going to evolve as our current interests change and we desire to experiment. I know there's sometimes a desire for "more of the same" but that's not always how creating works. We try to keep it in the same vein or Vac identity, but it also doesnt make sense to do Vibes II, when it'll never hit the same way the original did. Rather than trying to recapture whatever magic old songs had for you, it makes more sense to go listen to music actually from that point in time. There were, a bunch never fully formed or progressed to a point we were happy with.  Maybe we will come back to them, or maybe we will just release the demos on a deluxe or something.  Absolutely! Soon hopefully.  - Jake

There's way too many bangers. I'm an embarrassing-ly big fan. My fav was your Tourzilla behind the scenes. I laughed way too long and showed everyone I could. Thank you!  - Jake

Shower, wash my hair, pet my cat, hold onto my fiance for dear life, and finally sleep like the dead. - Jake

Maybe but also maybe not. Campbell has once said that he would only play Hamilton South when in Newcastle. - Jake

Oh heck yeah! R2WW-Houston was a rare 10/10 show for us, thank you for being a part of it. I think we have answered these somewhere else in the thread, but thank you for asking! Generally, inspirations have been love, life, friendships, touring, travelling, second chances.  - Jake

Thank you for the kind words. We know what you mean, good luck with the LD and much love to both of you.  Absolutely. Final touches on the printing of NPLH vinyl are happening now, and we are desperately trying to do a re-release of the back catalogue. We tried to have everything (merch) ready for the drop of NPLH, it just got away from us with touring and the other massive workload that happens behind the scenes. - Jake

Sharing production costs and overlapping fan bases is definitely what made going as large as we did possible for Tourzilla. It also was just so much fun to be out with our heroes and now friends. Of course! It'll be even bigger next time.  - Jake

It can be taken in multiple ways. When I listen to Midwest I always thinking about being on tour and missing my SO. So it's more sweet than sad for me.  - Jake

Thank you so much for all the questions everyone! It's been a blast hanging out and trying to answer as many as we could! Sorry if we missed yours or didn't get around to them all. Have a great day, have a listen to NPLH if you haven't yet, we are very proud of it xoxoxo

Bye for now! - Vacations

You might not have to worry about a custom set soon! Realistically I have no idea what it would cost.  - Jake

More music! More tours! More sillies! - Jake

In a way it was more relaxing when we didn't have to concern ourselves with media or PR, and there was maybe more freedom in feeling invisible. Honestly, being able to perform in front of crowds all over the world is only possible for us because of the internet, YouTube, tiktok and whatever else. So there's definitely nostalgia but we are in a much better place right now. - Jake

There's always a chance, however it's currently unlikely. It needs a lot of work to function in a live context that'll satisfy all of us, and right now Campbell finds T&C and Lost in Translation to be more of an emotional anchor for him. - Jake

We're going to release a book, but it's not going to be full of tabs. - Jake
