Second announcement perhaps?

:p

[Kacky]

Wicked! :D

[Jessii]

Well, i can't go to this, cause Pauls band has a gig the same night.

I also wont be at BDO cause it's Pauls dads wedding!

Something tells me i won't be seeing TLE for quite awhile..

[Big J.G]

where exactly can I get tickets for this?

I got Big Day Out...now this.

[Sarah]

So....................


did anyone go???

[Jessii]

I've been searching for reviews and can't find any!

[Sarah]

yeah, me neither. all i can find is the story about the SSS chick getting knocked out by a bottle, and thats it.

[Colezy]

I've only found some mobile phone pics/pics from really far away. Nothing worth posting.

[Jessii]

Hah, i wasn't there, so someone else got the bottle to the head :P Wonder if Chris advised her where to stand too!

Ouch though.

First Perth gig in a long time i haven't had a big story and lots of photos to post!

[Big J.G]

A friend of mine went, I gotta ask him about it.

I found this review, they really liked The Living End's set:

As much as I don't like SSS, that sounds like she had a nasty wound which sucks.

[Sarah]

Thanks Ellen!

Vocalist Amandah Wilkinson caught one person throwing a bottle and proceeded to call them a cunt and that if they didn’t want to hear the band then they could fuck off.

haha, ah man I love Operator Please.

I WANT PHOTOS!! :p

[Kacky]

haha, ah man I love Operator Please.

Haha, that's the spirit.

[All_torn_down16]

No problem Sarah, thanks for the Fasterlouder review :)

Chelsea, I like your new avatar picture thingy!

[Kacky]

Thank you. It represents me well. :p

[All_torn_down16]

Very true! If you were in power in Canada the first thing you could do is change the flag to that!

[Kacky]

Heck yeah, I so would.

Yeh, the reviewer seemed to know the shit listing all the songs like that
Crowd sounds a bit wild, especially the Sneaky Sound system thingo. Thing is, there's a good chance they can get away with it if they actually strike and really hurt someone. Sounds like a nuts festival though

[white_noise]

I dont know who went to this the other day, but Chris said that it was officially and definatly their worst ever show lol. He flet like standing at the gate refunding people on the way out!

[Colezy]

Oh dear! What was so bad about it?

But I can totally imagine him doing that :p

[white_noise]

"I didnt hit a single Note all bloody night....and the other boys werent much better"


He just stated all bands have days like it, and that was just there day. No technical errors or major weather probs, just a bad day! Id blame Jetlag haha

[Colezy]

Or maybe they were just shit :p

Nah, I'm glad that their 'off day' was at something like this..not a big festival, not a headlining gig, etc.

[white_noise]

coulda been worse...could of been one of the Longnecks shows :ohmy:

[Colezy]

Or that! Thank god that those shows were the complete opposite!

[white_noise]

Do u really think the were OUTSTANDING at longnecks or just the fact we thought so cos we hadnt seen them for ages

[Colezy]

No, not outstanding as such. But that's hard to judge cos it wasn't a normal TLE gig. but it was awesome to know how things were looking for the new album...everything was new and fresh which made it exciting!

And they played the older stuff really well at the end of each gig. The Ruby's and Ding Dong e-boogies were the best i've ever seen/heard!

[Kacky]

Hehe "Ding Dong"

[Colezy]

lawl at 'Ding Dong e-boogies' :p

[Colezy]

Hehe "Ding Dong"

haha yeah..well i didn't know what to call it..it was the venue name after all!

[Kacky]

I know, but I use the term Ding Dong for dumb people.

Lalala. Ding Dong venue.

[Jessii]

There was a review in the street press here that wasnt horrible, that i will type up later, hehe the best bit about it was that Pauls band had a review right under it!
