Hello brothers and sisters of the revolution. Thanks for coming out to the show last night in Adelaide. There were over 90,000 of you at The Gov to see Bob Evans and I guess, Me dance around and sing songs. You turned Adelaide into Radelaide and kept it from being Sadelaide. For that I thank you from the bottom of my moldy heart. I felt the rays of night sunshine beaming at me from the bottom where the love creeps through the floorboards and showers me with with warm urine colored lemonade mixed with roses and geese feathers.
Please enjoy this video of me going nuts in Adelaide.
Thanks for keeping the mystery alive.
goo goo gah gah
adios amigos

I take a flight with Milan from Canberra to Melbourne and he keeps on filming me but won't let me film him. So we laugh a little and then laugh some more when his sister Milica aka Millie picks us up. We have a day to rest and relax after many shows in a row. I'm going to yoga and eating all day. It sure is fun being out here on the road laughing. I feel weird.
See ya,
Steve
Everyone in Australia calls me Poltzy.
"Hey Poltzy G'day! How ya goin' mate?"
I like it.
I could just do kids records and call myself Poltzy.
I'll sell hundreds.
The tour is proceeding along nicely and I wanted to give a video update.
Sit down and grab a cold beverage and pretend you're with me.
Extra! Extra! Live shows up at fizzkicks.com/stevepoltz

We're starting to get some live show action up at fizzkicks.com/stevepoltz
So say you're living in Taipei and you're saying to yourself "dang, I wish I could hear a live show by Steve Poltz right now."
Well, now you can download a whole show for 15 smackaroos. Digitally download it piping hot fresh from the oven to your mp3 plate. There are some Canadian shows and USA shows. Once Chris Modl arrives for my June Aussie tour then those shows will be up because we'll be back in the old recording biz.
But for now- enjoy the offerings we have.
Yours kind of,
Steve
Here's a new movie of some travels through Australia meeting people and singing songs eating crocodiles and having fun. It's 1 am right now and I think I'll retire to the sack. I'm enjoying driving on the left side of the road. I think that's the best way to enjoy life: from the left side.
More shows and cool people tomorrow.
I hope I don't get eaten by a crocodile.
Hasta Lego,
Steve
Hi Mom,
It’s Mother’s Day already down here in Australia as we’re a day ahead of you. I just wanted to tell you I love you and thank you for giving birth to me way back when at The Infirmary in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It’s been a great ride and I know in the first 6 months of my life I had 2 hernias and you thought I would die but I didn’t. Then my lungs kept collapsing and I had all those surgeries and you hung by my side. Plus, you made me practice my guitar and paid for lessons and taught me to sing in the choir at St. Theresa’s Catholic Church. I know I was a wild child and I hit the ground running with allergies and hyper activity but you’ve always been there to bandage me up. I want to thank you for everything and for giving me such a good life that I would never trade for anything. You’re so smart and kind. Like super smart. Like the smartest person I’ve ever met. Except for Dad because he’s smart too but I think you’re smarter. After all, you taught English at St. Rita’s Catholic School and that was a smarty smart kid’s school. Plus, you’re a great cook and you always fed me scrumptious meals even when I was dieting to make 98 pounds for wrestling tournaments. Everything you make tastes amazing. Plus you’re really fun to be around and I like hearing you talk and laugh.
So happiest of Mother’s Day’s to you. I love you.
Your son,
Steve (Poltz) In case you forgot who it was
p.s. here's a picture of you and Dad(the guy you married) back in 1979
you guys are hot!
Don't let Steve Poltz be a passenger in your car in Australia?
There's a "movie" floating around the internet on one of the you tubes that I'm a poor passenger to have in the car. I just wanted to let you guys here at Poltz.com know about it. I just have to say that this really hurts my feelings and I wanted you guys to see it first before someone else tells you about it. I don't think my behavior was so bad. So in the interest of keeping everything above board I want you guys to decide if I'm allowed to drive in a car with you. I think the evidence will speak for itself and I'm certain my honesty in this matter will vindicate me. Thanks for always being there for me.
Yours in passengerdom,
Steve Poltz
Here's the new movie that's been taking the world by storm. We're getting world wide distribution next week but here you get to see it first. It was filmed in Maroochydore, Queensland Australia and is already up for several awards for best film in a natural nature type naturistical naturesque est incorporating naturalismo n-n-n-nature's so bitchin setting. Please enjoy and don't forget to vote in the upcoming Academy Awards documentary balloting type series-esque type cool guy art house elimination series adaptation etc and so forth. Every vote counts and you are not the last chance wallflower that the world has made you out to be. After all, you know ME! I'm a man with ties. Scarves and beanies and socks and purple underwear. I can get a table at several b-list restaurants in at least 3 countries.
Take your vitamins you bogens, oops- I mean bogans -

Played a show in Brisbane last night which is tomorrow night for USA peeps or maybe it's tonight. Ummm I'm confused. Bob Evans is a champion song fellow. Good times in River City I tell you. The staff at The Tivoli are the sweetest people and I can't wait to come back. The weather is perfect and tomorrow we drive to Maroochydore, QLD. It just sounds cool to say it. Try it out- Maroochydore! Rhymes with store and whore. This is really going to be quite a journey as we cruise to Byron Bay.
I just woke up and I'm not sure what day it is. Thursday here- Wed back in the States. I'm a day ahead of you so I hate to tell you this, but the world will no longer exist the way you know it. So fly here to see me now! I demand it. It's winter here and things are backwards.
People drive on the other side of the road and talk with funny accents. Dogs can fly and lizards speak fluent Chinese. You can eat flowers and they make you taller and all smiley. The clouds are made of cotton candy and they fall out of the sky right into your mouth. Everything is free here! They don't believe in money. There's no pollution and they've never heard of the swine flu. (I brought it with me though so they will)
Fly here this week and bring me clothes and crackers and water lilies. Bring me gold shoes and silver socks and I'll trade you Chinese speaking lizards. We'll jump rope in the sprinklers and wash our hair with rain water. Australia is the new black. It's where everyone needs to be for the next couple of months. Bring your DNA and bring your wigs. Dress up in disguise and tell your bosses you have eye problems and that you can't see coming into work this month.
Tell the San Diego Padres I love them but I'm not IN love with them.
