"Last time round when we saw each other on tour,there wasn't really much harmony going on."

It seems time has healed those wounds. Cester says the vibe is positive."Everybody seems to like each other,it feels good."

He says the tour does not necessarily signal anything longer term."It's more of a reunion than a reformation,but there are certainly new ideas and new things hanging around."

Cester was tight lipped when asked about another album,saying:"There is new music,but you know,I don't want to disappoint or upset anybody about it,so I don't want to talk about it too much"

So what prompted this after so many years?"We changed labels a little while ago and I think that had something to do with it. Sometimes when you move a piece of the puzzle,everything shifts and changes dramatically."

The tour will run over various dates and locations nationally from January 31 to February 18,kicking off in Melbourne.

For now,Cester says it's all about relishing the experience."Right now everything is beautiful,and everybody really enjoying being in the moment,and that's about as far as anyone is really willing to take it at this point. Everyone's just having a really good time,and that's really the bubble we're living in,I think talking about the future for us is probably a bit of a jinx"
