As much as we wish summer were endless, with less than a week left of the season it's almost time to say our farewells. Warm skin wanes into a memory, to be stored and savoured until we come full circle. After a summer spent touring and performing at music festivals across Australia, San Cisco bids goodbye to a season spent mostly on the road.
Between shows at Wine Machine, Beyond the Valley and ringing in New Year's Eve at Victoria Park, San Cisco singer and drummer Scarlett Stevens lays down her highlights from being on tour with her best friends and bandmates. From recycled outfits, 7/11 ice cream and hand-strung necklaces, find San Cisco's photo diary from a summer on the road, below.
Until the next leg.

"Have you ever got into a fight with streamers and lost? New Years Eve, Sydney."
"Playing in a band for the last 11 years means never getting to spend NYE with our loved ones. As you can see, we are holding a lot of pain. Instead, we get invited to cool Sydney parties where no one will talk to us and we spend the countdown walking to a 7/11 to buy ice cream. Guess what’s under the tarp. New Years Eve, Sydney."

"I can’t drum in most footwear, but I also can’t come out the front without some foot candy for y’all to nibble on. Not mad about the added height either. Wine Machine, Perth."

"Love having a green room next to the greenroom. PS. If you’re wondering where Jordi got his necklace from, I made it for his birthday. Beyond the Valley, VIC."
