A COVID update and an apology-19 (Patreon)

Hey gang,

For those unaware, the COVID situation in Sydney has worsened to the point where for the first time in over a year we've found ourselves back in lockdown. At this stage the lockdown is set to only last another week, but with the current trend in case numbers we have very little faith things will actually go that way. We've had to make the very difficult decision to postpone JRPG July until further notice. If things do calm down, it will replace the August Radio instead and we'll run some makeup streams in July instead. After discussing things internally, here are the plans for the foreseeable future:

 - All choices and voting made for JRPG July will be honoured and performed as part of the set. None of that is changing, we're just delaying it until it's confirmed safe to perform again

 - In place of Radio voting next month, we will be going ahead with the Radio Runback bonus tracks instead. So that means another round of open voting (anything* big asterix) for 2 extra tunes that will eventually get recorded for the album. There'll be a couple of rules around that, but as that will cover August's voting we'll tackle it then

 - (COVID pending) on July 24th the core line-up will be live streaming a Radio-lite set featuring some new jams we've got in the pipeline for the various albums, followed by a Request Show

- (COVID pending) on July 31st we'll start our Radio Runback recordings and have some snippets sprinkled on Patreon throughout August for those at the Gold tier.

We understand this situation sucks, it's just too hard to get all the moving parts together for rehearsal with the current situation. If for whatever reason you feel short changed by this month's changes, feel free to PM us on Patreon for a refund of this month's pledge, no questions asked. We're going to do our best to keep the content in July as hot as ever, but we promised a specific set of things this month that we're not sure when we'll be able to deliver.

Voting for the existing tunes for Radio Runback will go up tomorrow, so keep your eyes out for that. Otherwise we'll keep you updated as best we can and make this month as big a banger as we possibly can
