It doesn't look like it was an extensive tour (just a few summer shows) but I've never heard the band talk about this time.

Did anybody from this forum attend any of these shows?

Wow, if you are from Australia you will know MidnightOil very well, I think they are super good, I love many of their albums....

The tour is covered in the Throwing Copper 25th Anniversary tour booklet.

So Chad G is suing Ed again? He's suing every member of Live rn. Just give him his band therapy already

[dangum]

So Chad G is suing Ed again?

I think it's the same lawsuit from March 2024. Though I didn't realise that there was a contract where Chad would get 20% if he was playing in the band but only 5% if he wasn't.

I'm not surprised. Mutual hate unites douchebags.

I'm not getting this reply at all. Why is them settling and getting past whatever bullshit is between them an indication that they are thriving on hate and douchebaggery? Or is your reaction to something else entirely?
