The Fumes were playing their first gig in years earlier in the year, but it was in Northern NSW at a local pub and about 250km each way for me. I regret not going to the gig, but I don’t regret not driving that far for it.

Wow. You might have to plan it as a mini-vacation trip so as to enjoy the event if the occasion arises or until they have a gig closer to your area.

Some bands are very limited in their tours, so if possible, we have to go to their closest gig.

They even offered free camping for the gig, but laziness won out in the end.

All is well; no need to force ourselves unless we want to, hahaha.

Camping is cool, but it is a hassle, and you need to prep and plan ahead to have an enjoyable experience if it has been a while since you have gone camping.

Vacations need planning, or it can also be just a last-minute thing, but be prepared to go with the flow of an adventure, hahaha.

I didn't have a problem with the camping. Only really needed a tent and sleeping bag to crash in after the gig, which I have. I'm not sure my spine could have handled it any more though.

Their only online presence is Facebook, though, which I have since permanently deleted, so I don't have any way to know about future gigs, which is annoying.

That is a big factor; back pain sucks! You would need extra support to enjoy the trip!

Damn, that does make it difficult!

Yeah, it seems they have limited tours.
