Tickets on sale Monday 7th of July

[Jessii]

Someone on a competition site posted a comp to win The Matches tickets, so we should all enter so someone who actually wants tickets wins it, and not someone who enters everything and just sells them afterwards.

lisa@pubsandclubs.com.au With the subject MATCHES and put in 25 words or less why you want to see them.

[Deadcat Kaye]

Well inspite of the Spam...

[cdejonge]

[Deadcat Kaye]

[cdejonge]

We got tickets on monday at it was only the 111th ticket sold.Geesh. That's not much. I'm pretty sure the Corner Hotel holds at least 800. Might be a nice and intimate show!

[Sabbz]

I got tickets to the under-age corner show. freakin' hell I love this band, IT'S TOMORROW! =D

[Deadcat Kaye]

I think you should definantly come and say g'day to mel and I...I would go upto you but i dunno what you look like :p

[mel_bound]

I HAVE RED CLOWN HAIR! lowercase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Deadcat Kaye]

I read that as
"I've got big boy hair!"

[cdejonge]

Have a great time tonight anybody who's going to the Corner shows.

[Kacky]

Mel, is that a wig?

[Deadcat Kaye]

lulz ^^

THE MATCHES WERE AWESOME.

Such nice guys too ^_^

I got a pick too.

**win**

Sabbz, did you go today?
If you didn, you never said Hi! :p

[Sabbz]

AHH WHAT A DAY! The Matches completely blew my mind, they were great!

Great guys to chat with as well, seriously. My friend and I hailed Shawn waynes world style, and when questioning him how Melbourne is treating him, he answered "apparently like royalty". XD

Anyway, they were amazing, can't wait 'til they tour again.

PS:
Gah, I wish I read mel's and your post before the show >_< I had no idea what either of you looked like, but now reading mels post, I saw the red-haired clown chick everywhere! lol. I was standing next to you guys when you got a pic with Shawn, in which straight aferwards we hailed him heh.

Don't know if you noticed us... I was walking around with my friend, who was in a Batman shirt.

[Deadcat Kaye]

oh man!

That was you worshipping Shawn??

That was HILARIOUS!!!

that's right, we had just gotten a photo with Shawn when you two did your stuff.
After the MASSIVE crowd of teeny girls had finished hugging Shawn and squeeling with glee.

Epic, Epic lolz :p

Sooooo funny watching Shawns facial expressions haha

[Sabbz]

haha XD

What was Shawn like when we were worshipping him? I was to busy to take notice lol

[Deadcat Kaye]

haha he was very taken aback, I think he was really shocked and like "uurrrr what do I do?"

But he laughed, along with any one else who was watching.

You got up and shook his hand afterwards right?

[Sabbz]

Haha awesome XD

Yeah that was me who got up and shook his hand. I had a proper talk with him after the show, great guy.

Glad I could kinder do something for him to remember me by lol.

[Deadcat Kaye]

hahaha

It goes down the books as epic things I've seen at shows.

The top goes to some dude at Come Together festival...he crowd surfed, and as he was being lowered by the security guards (who had him around the waist)
So he did the superman pose as if he was flying.

Back to the matches, how AWESOME was Jon playing with 1 finger the whole time and totally pulling off those solo's

Kudos to him!

[Sabbz]

haha at superman guy XD

And yeah seriously, Jon was amazing. If I wasn't aware he was playing 1 fingered, I wouldn't have even noticed! Show's how good he is, really.
Dylan was also great, seemed to fit into the band nicely. lol @ jon putting the fragile stickers on him.

and heh, seems somebody else has also recognised my hailing XD

[Deadcat Kaye]

I miss Justin, but Dylan is definantly a good replacement.

When we got photo's with him afterwards it was awesome small talk
After we got photo's we thanked him and he's like "Such sweet kids XD"

Was sooo tempted to say, "you're still a kid back home!"
seeing as he's only 19 haha

But yeah, we got Jon to say Melbourne, in a bogan aussie way, his american way, then a real Australian way :D

I was soo happy they played papercut skin, I almost lost my voice after that song haha

[Sabbz]

Ahh I didn't even see Jon come out! Did he come out late after the show or something?

[Deadcat Kaye]

sort of, took him and dylan awhile to come out, it was well after Shawn came out.

[Sabbz]

Ah ok. Well I was kinder in a rush. I caught Shawn and Matt after the show, but then had to go. I'll catch the rest next time.

Ahh... I wish I had a camera. If I knew I was standing next to you guys the whole time I would of asked for you to take a pic of me n shawn!

[mel_bound]

I didn't take any whilst they were playing but here's some omgfan gurl lol pho-toes (http://s154.photobucket.com/albums/s269/circuspie/The%20Matches/)

Sabbz, we had a good laugh at your worshippingness! Haha.
They were hella good, as Amy mentioned Jon's a champ for playing with a broken finger! After they played and they came out I said hi to Jon and he high-fived me, strong arms. Shawn's real tall and a great sport for putting up with all of us fans wanting photos and hugs, Matt was walking around doing business and Dylan is a darling and fitting in nicely! Naw. Good show :D

[Kacky]

Sexxxxxy photos.

[Jessii]

I miss Justin, but Dylan is definantly a good replacement.

When they first introduced me to Dylan, he came up to me later asking what's the proper way to pronounce Melbourne cause's he's pretty sure they've been making him say the wrong one.

While walking to bar with them, Shawn and Dylan decided to have piggy back style race. Hilarity followed.

[Deadcat Kaye]

[Jessii]

On the same street i later tripped over and fell face first onto the pavement, in between shawn and jon. It hurt.
