John Bois, Broderick Smith, Chris Stockley and Kerryn Tolhurst attended the awards together and gathered onstage for the first time in 30 years. As a result the fires were rekindled and the four gathered at Tolhurst's studio in Tucson Arizona earlier this year to see how it felt to play together again. |
