Children Collide

[Deadcat Kaye]

Why don't we have a Children Collide thread yet??
I'm sure the White Noise tour recruited a few new CC fans from this forum so it isn't just me...

New album released last saturday called The Long Now..
So they're touring. (again)

Don't click the "click here for tickets"
I had to prnt scrn it because they don't have a proper poster(that I can find)..
Just got to their website and follow links from there if you want tickets.

[mel_bound]

You gonna try and get into revolver?

and also: Mona Lisa Overdrive? That's a British India song! wtffff

[Aaron]

So, I guess anyone who wanted to see these guys on the last tour, but got there early, would have been waiting for The Silents to end...

Haha :p

*SIGHHHHHHHhhhhhhh*

Amy, JB posted our packs out today, so should get 'em soon :D

I find this pic amusing, Heath's all like, wtf, and Johnny's all like *BLURRR'D*

Also, the article in this week's beat is pretty funny.

[Deadcat Kaye]

I loved this weeks beat article...I did it for both beat and inpress...
I just quickly picked em up and shoved them in my bag...didn't even GLIMPSE the cover...Then 3 hours later I looked and Chris was on Inpress cover...Children Collide on the other!!
hehe
oopz

See, with the Albums CD cover....I still dunno which of the 3 "scratchy" covers is the rarest.

[Kev]

I haven't scratched mine. Probably won't either.


I saw CC support Evermore last year. They were hundred times better than Evermore. And they weren't stuck up like em either.


Also Ben Ely's new project is pretty good.

[Colezy]

So, I guess anyone who wanted to see these guys on the last tour, but got there early, would have been waiting for The Silents to end...

Haha :p
hahaha :rolleyes: :p

So true though. Their last song just went ON and ON and ON!

[dylanos]

I thought Children Collide were actually pretty rubbish. Their songs had no melody, random structure, whaling vocals... just really wasn't enjoyable music to listen to... It just wan't the type of music that I'd say - I'm going to go and get their album. However, they were tight and their sound was perfected. But you could see the difference between them and The Living End as to why TLE has remained and become one of Australia's biggest bands and why CC will never break from JJJ. It just seemed like music that was intentionally trying to be a bit different but just sounded like noise... lyrical department wasn't too good either... "we are we are we are amphibians" is hardly something to get a crowd chanting and singing back at you in stark contrast to "we don't need no one to tell us what to do! etc etc" TLE, and a number of Australias bigger bands (mostly from the 90s) are leaps and bounds ahead of some of the new stuff coming though... Anyway, that's my rant on CC, i'm sure people disagree but I was uninspired..

[damo0945]

They were good live, but I'm not a big fan of the album... and I scratched mine...

[Colezy]

Got the cd today. About to listen to it.

I quite enjoyed them on the WN tour. Hadn't really listened to them before that though. By the second gig, I was eager to see them play again! :)


RYAN, RYAN, RYAN! :p

[mel_bound]

I got a clock :D

[Deadcat Kaye]

See, I don't think I'ld ever compare CC to TLE...Simply because they don't play the same sort of genre of music to TLE.

I got the gold voyager disc!!

Which is teh rarest.
And a Children Collide shirt.

I'm one happy camper.

[Colezy]

Haha nice work! I haven't scratched mine yet..not sure if I want too! :p

[Kacky]

I still need the single!

[Kev]

The Glass Mountain Liars EP was great.

We Are Amphibious is a great song.

[Colezy]

Thought Amy might be interested in reading this. Others might be too, but Amy sprang to mind right away :p

http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/features/15355/Children-Collide.htm

[strahanie]

Johnny doesnt look like Johnny in that pic

Nice to hear what Heath has to say tho

[Kev]

There was a review of it in some magazine/paper I read the other day, and they have a bit where to file it under.

they said "File It Under: The Living End" I thought that was a bit weird.

[Deadcat Kaye]

That picture was taken earlier this year when they were overseas recording the album :p
Not that old hehe

and thanks for the interview Colezy Kid!!

Everyone who has the disc has figured out how to get bonus's yah??

[Neo]

Children Collide's moshcam vid is up from the enmore http://www.moshcam.com/#?page=player&type=gig&id=275 :)

[Deadcat Kaye]

I'm starting to love this thread mroe and more XD

I should post up all my CC articles I have...and photo's....there is lots!

[Sarah]

http://www.thedwarf.com.au/nd/interviews/the_long_now_with_children_collide

they talk about TLE too :)

[Anfony]

I'll be at the Annandale hotel show. I think they're great! Can't wait :) Still yet to buy the cd though...

RYAN! RYAN! RYAN! RYAN!
hehe it never gets old.

[dylanos]

hmm yeh you can't really compare cause of the type of music, i just don't think they are that good. Better live than on CD I think.

[strahanie]

These boys are hot! Anyone else going to the Revolver gig? If i can get my ears in working order i will be there :)

[Colezy]

I shall be in attendance at their gigs as of next year :p

But I am hoping that they will play MS Fest in Feb with TLE and Gyro! (which is next year anyway haha)

[Deadcat Kaye]

I will be attending every single Melbourne CC gig when I turn 18.

Oath!

[strahanie]

AAAHH, CC are playing same night as The Currency! :(

[Adele]

Hehehe IT'S CHILDREN COLLIDING!

[Deadcat Kaye]

hahahaha

whats funny adelio, is that post was your 666 post :eek:

Well not REALLy funny but it was to me.

Beth, you know the right choice. :p

[Colezy]

But Beth had to decide between TLE/CC or The Currency last time! :p

HI ADELE!

[Deadcat Kaye]

haha CC >>>>> The Currency.
Though the currency are talented lads (and women) but CC...Only band that beats CC right now is TLE :p

[Kacky]

I would choose TLE over any other band...ALWAYS.

[May]

I remember a few years back I was gonna pick TLE over Green Day, but when they realised the scheduling conflict, they picked Green Day over doing a secret show :rolleyes:

[Kacky]

Bummer. I was so Green Day'd out by the end of 2005, after seeing them three times. :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

Green Day are definantly on the "List-of-Bands-To-See" :D

[Kacky]

Definitely. :D

[May]

Meh.
I've seen em 3 times (or is it 4?) now, and should have stopped at the first. At that stage it was pretty spectacular. Now, fairly predictable...

[Kacky]

I would see them again, just not as much as last time.

[Deadcat Kaye]

You can't really expect a band to change their performace every single gig.
May be predictable...But most of the time it's what people go to see.

[May]

You can't really expect a band to change their performace every single gig.
May be predictable...But most of the time it's what people go to see.
If it's a small/newish band that has a limited repatoir (sp?), then no, I dont expect them to change it.
However, unless they are lacking in talent, I actually do expect a bigger band to change their sets around on tour. Not only does it give the fans variety, but it gives the band a break from same ol', same ol'...

[damo0945]

Repertoir* I think... maybe an e on the end too
When did you see them? Was it a few times on the same tour or something? For a big band like that I'd almost expect them to play mostly the same songs every night... Keeps (most of) the fans happy with all the favourites...
However at the other end of the scale NOFX are in a reasonably similar situation (yet not as big obviously) and they say they try and avoid playing the same songs in the same place over and over...

[Adele]

But Beth had to decide between TLE/CC or The Currency last time! :p

HI ADELE!

HI NICOLE! :D

I might have to choose between CC & Trackside. Or we might end up going to both... CC is on a Friday in Sydney and Trackside is on the Saturday. Hmm.

[Deadcat Kaye]

You said you weren't goin to Trackside Adelio!!

[Colezy]

Hey Amy, did you see the CC article in last months jmag?

Well its in this months, but today is the last day of it being on sale.

[Ben reed]

found this on the channel V site
Win tickets to see children collide live (http://channelv.com.au/V/Competition.aspx?id=847)

[Adele]

You said you weren't goin to Trackside Adelio!!
WELL! It all depends on Emily getting her P's. So I might not. :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

Hey Amy, did you see the CC article in last months jmag?

Well its in this months, but today is the last day of it being on sale.

NEIN! I've not gotten jmag for awhile :eek:
Does anyone have it??

WELL! It all depends on Emily getting her P's. So I might not. :p

hahahaha aaahhhhh
Makes sense XD

You should get you P's Adelio..Life would be easier

[Colezy]

So should you Amy :p


I'll scan the article for you tomorrow! :)

[Deadcat Kaye]

See, I'm going to go all out there, be different to ALL you overagers and ACTUALLY GET MY P'S WHEN I TURN 18

*shock fuckin' horror!*

But wait....I'M GOING TO DRIVE A CAR WHEN I HAVE MY P'S.

:eek::eek::eek:

What's wrong with scanning it tonight? :p

[Colezy]

I had to go and get my brother from work, that's what! :p

I got mine just after I turned 18, so ner. I just didn't have a car to drive for AGES cos I crashed my first one into our front gate/fence :p

[damo0945]

haha that'd suck, it took me nearly 7 months to get my Ps after I turned 18...

[Colezy]

Hold on...do you guys have to be 18 to get them??

[damo0945]

Yeah, I think South Australia might be younger?

[Colezy]

In tassie you can go for them once you turn 17, as long as you've done your 50 hours and have been driving for at least 6 months.

But hardly anyone gets to do that. Not unless you get all of yours hours done SUPER quick and can book the test for sometime near your 17th. I think the waiting list like 3 or 4 months in Hobart and for others areas its a little worse. I wish my brother would hurry up and get his P's!

[May]

It's 120 hours here, and go for the first P's once you've got your 120 up, and have turned 18. Then 12 or 18months on those P's til the next level and that again until full licence. Sucks to be a learner these days.

[strahanie]

is that what the green Ps are, a second level?

[May]

Yeppers. Not just the things you have with dinner.

[Colezy]

haha, well there's one kind of P's here. Pretty much.

1st year - display the P's. No alcohol, 80km/hr.
2nd/3rd year - take down the P's, can drive at normal limits. No alcohol.

[Kacky]

You guys are weird. We have G1, G2, G. :p

[Colezy]

I think its known as P1 and then P2, but your plates only show a P.

Plus ours are red/white. Other states are different tho.

[Deadcat Kaye]

well aside from license talk.

WHERE IS THE SCAN COLEZY KID??

[strahanie]

AAGHHH, now Ben Birchall and the corrections are playing on Nov 14th as well, what to do what to do :(

[Colezy]

well aside from license talk.

WHERE IS THE SCAN COLEZY KID??
It's scanned. It's just not on this computer :p

And I'm off to bed :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

You suck Majoy Chode Nicole.

It's cruel making me wait. :eek:

[strahanie]

Finally got album/tshirt/poster today :)

[Deadcat Kaye]

Poster??
POSTER??

What poster is this? :)

[strahanie]

Just a tour poster

[Deadcat Kaye]

I AM A WIINER!!!

I'll have to listen out for the interview :)

[Deadcat Kaye]

Nop...You know how in Kath and Kim, Kim says Sharon is her 2nd best friend...and no one knows her first

[Colezy]

http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackshadowphotos/sets/72157609080485394/

[strahanie]

Was a fab gig, nice to see the children headlining

[Deadcat Kaye]

WOO!!! Farewell Rocketship is their 2nd single of their album The Long Now.
They've just released a preview of it the video clip...

Farewell Rocketship Video PREVIEW!


So there is a PREVIEW for the Farewell Rocketship video up on youtube now.
Full clip will be out early January, this is just to get you excited about it:

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=m9GzQIxJbpk

And here is something Heath has to say about it:

"We wanted to make this clip timeless and epic. We got together with the House on Fire film crew, and citing such influences as 1920's silent romantic pantomime film and dark 1950's sci-fi, we got busy. I guess we really wanted to do something a bit risky, something unusual, and so created the clip in the form of a two part film. The first part is backed by sound art, and the second one with the actual songs. We like the results.
"

CC x

[strahanie]

Thats awesome, cant wait to see the finished thing :D

[mel_bound]

that thing is fuckin awesome, also can't wait to see the second half!

[Kacky]

Oh my gawd! That IS fucking awesome.

Makes me even more proud to have sat on a couch with them, and seen them live. Wee.

[Deadcat Kaye]

lulz at heath :p
and ryan
and johnny.

Oh man, I'm really going to be so impatient for this video clip dangit!

[Kacky]

I'm with you on that one Amy.

[mel_bound]

Heath = Mad Scientist

it's all the hair, which means I'm a madder scientist than anyone, haha.

[Deadcat Kaye]

haha they're such awkward actors, it's fantastic!
Except ryan, he seems alright at it. :p

[Colezy]

Heath = Mad Scientist

it's all the hair, which means I'm a madder scientist than anyone, haha.
When I saw the eye through the telescope and then saw his head pop out from behind it, I cracked up so bad! :p He's suits the part so well!

Ryan looks good :happy:

I wanna see more!! I held off from watching it when I read the bulletin yesterday. Only cos I hate previews of things like that cos I usually give in! :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

So go back 3 or 4 pages and you see me a happy child because I won CC stuff.
For anyone who's interested, here's a photo of the vinyl and snow dome.

[white_noise]

Last night they played
Chosen Armies
Skeleton Dance
Social currency
Walking on the moon (the police)
I forget what the other songs were, We got the Setlist off the woodymeister which is now in Beths possession. There was some Nirvana and the Cure I think!

Over all It wasnt a bad night, but the free beers didnt last to long!

[strahanie]

Children opened with Killing an Arab (The Cure) which really suited their style then

Chosen Armies
Skeleton Dance
Walking on the Moon (this also really suited Johnnys voice)
Sex Beat
Third Uncle (Brian Eno)
UFO
Social Currency
Milk It (Nirvana)
Fire Engine

Over all there were too many synthesizers at this gig but Children were great as always

[Deadcat Kaye]

[Colezy]

Oh man. He totally should!

For some reason, I thought that Ryan was 27. I have no idea why. Maybe I read it somewhere?

[Kacky]

Interesting video!

Thanks!

[Colezy]

I reckon that Johnny is older than he looks. Probably 25-ish.

This just in...
Farewell Rocketship tour announced...

Farewell Rocketship Tour April 2009, presented by Channel V

‘Children Collide are absolutely the sound of the here and now’ – Drum Media.


Fresh off their maiden Big Day Out tour, Children Collide show no signs of slowing down. Recently, Children Collide has been carving their name as one of the most exhilarating live acts in the country. Having impressed audiences and critics alike throughout 2008, Children Collide is geared to bring their explosive headline show around Australia once more - on the FAREWELL ROCKETSHIP TOUR.


“Farewell Rocketship” is an idealistic, escapist daydream where the world has become too much and fleeing is the only option. Instead of a desert island or a strange new country, the destination is another planet. A flight of fantasy to begin a new colony of humans on a nearby planet. A fresh start in a simpler world. A colonial ballad for a post-apocalyptic, space-age romance. A goodbye to war and politics.


You are invited to join Children Collide on their sonic journey to a new world. Farewell Rocketship’s epic themes are illustrated in the incredible video that accompanies it. The 7 minute narrative clip takes the audience to an apocalyptic world and follows the band as they attempt escape in search of a less emaciated planet.


2008 saw Children Collide grace the stage in some of the most important live performances of their career. They spent the year sharing stages with the likes of The Living End, The Hoodoo Gurus, The Wombats and Grinspoon, in addition to two headline tours.


The release of debut album The Long Now to rave reviews in October included 4/5 reviews in Rolling Stone and Jmag. It has also held its own up against international releases; placing #7 in The Age and #17 in the Rolling Stone top albums of 2008. All of this served to stroke interest in Children Collide’s live juggernaut.


Singles “Social Currency” and “Farewell Rocketship” have performed well at radio. Both tracks have been the #1 most played tracks on Triple J and “Farewell Rocketship” has been the Most Requested Song. All of this has spurred the band on to their frantic festival schedule over summer, where stellar performances at Homebake and Pyramid Rock Festival garnered them more than a few extra admirers.


Joining them on this ride is a band that has been known to induce a degree of admiration themselves. REGULAR JOHN has been busy boys. Hailing from Sydney, the lads have been locked up recording their debut album and are poised to blow off their pent up steam. Their live show is searing. Here’s is what Drum Media thinks: ‘There’s an evil devil bird on the front and the amps sound like they’re seconds from self-combustion. Like your rock red-eyed and sunburnt? The ‘John will definitely tear another welcome hole in your favorite jeans’. Enough said.


So, for their first headline dates this year Children Collide are preparing to blow audiences out of the water (or their shoes, or pants, or whatever) with their frantic, unpredictable performances. Dates for the FAREWELL ROCKETSHIP TOUR below.


Farewell Rocketship single is released on 14th February with 2 brand new exclusive tracks and an as yet unreleased remix on ITunes

[mel_bound]

whut!? (http://www.groove.no/html/list/34951433.html)
now someone needs to learn Norwegian to translate the first bit. Haha.

also saw this and thought it was interesting. but cbf (http://www.messandnoise.com/articles/573892) reading it all right now :p

[mel_bound]

Apon closer inspection, the second interview involves a topic Amy and I were talking about the other day.

[Deadcat Kaye]

I read that article like A YEAR ago.

Slow Ranga, Slow. :p

P.S told ya it was missy higgins

[Ben reed]

the tour will probably be over 18s won't it?

[Deadcat Kaye]

'tis

BUT they're playing Pushover Fest...$30...You should go to it...It'll be a good day, PLUS mammal are playing and they're fucking sick as.

[Ben reed]

ill look into it
thanks:)

[mel_bound]

I read that article like A YEAR ago.

Slow Ranga, Slow. :p

P.S told ya it was missy higgins

yeah well I went looking after you said you weren't sure it was Missy Higgins, and it's not like I didn't believe you! How about the Norwegian article? :p

[strahanie]

So do you actually want the Norweigan translated?

[mel_bound]

It doesn't really bother me, I put it through a dodgy online translator and got the gist of it. I was just kidding :p

[Ben reed]

ok so my friend has a spare ticket to pushover fest so i'll be there
should be good:)

[strahanie]

My sister in law is living in Iceland and speaks Norweigan, heres translation for those who didnt bother with translatey program like Mel


> Johnny Mackay er hovedmannen bak det Melbourne-baserte bandet Children Collide, som i 2008 slapp sitt debutalbum The Long Now.

Johnny Mackay is the.main.man behind the Melbourne-based band Children
Collide, who in 2008 released their debut.album The Long Now.

> Children Collide har i altfor lang tid vært "det neste store" i hjembyen, og alltid høstet gode ord om sine utgivelser og konserter. Vel fortjent, så det er bare å håpe at det er nok til å fly dem over til Europa og Norge snart.

Children Collide have for a way.too long time been "the next
big.thing" in the their home town, and always received good word about
their releases and gigs. Well-earned, so we'll just have to hope that
that's enough to fly them over to Europe and Norway soon.

> Her oppsummerer han 2008 både på det musikalske og tilfeldige plan: - 2008 top 10 in alphabetical order. Actually, there are twelve items here, and their not all musical. Just a random list of stuff I liked over the year I guess, sier Mackay til groove.

Here he sums up 2008 both on the musical and random plan: "2008 top 10
in alphabetical order. Actually, there are twelve items here, and
their not all musical. Just a random list of stuff I liked over the
year I guess," says Mackay to Groove.

[Colezy]

Nice work Beth!

[Colezy]

WOOOOOOOO, CC are coming to Hobart! :D And it's the night I get back from seeing YKB! (If i still go!) :woot:

[mel_bound]

Great shiz Nicole! And thanks Strahanie! ;)

[Ben reed]

ok so my friend has a spare ticket to pushover fest so i'll be there
should be good:)

damn so i have cricket on this day:(
farkkkin hell, i was pumped togo

[Colezy]

Great shiz Nicole! And thanks Strahanie! ;)

I know! And they're playing a good venue too!

SO happy. It also means I don't have to fork out for the Melb gig for their tour! haha

[Shadow]

They're playing at V Festival too, not sure if anyone already knew about this (haven't checked previous pages - running short on time at the moment).

[Colezy]

I JUST read that about 2 seconds ago! :p

Found it on fasterlouder :)

[All_torn_down16]

Has it been mentioned that CC are playing the Adelaide Uni O'Ball in March? I don't know if I'll go but hearing that they're playing it made me give a second thought about going.

[Colezy]

They're playing at the UTas Hobart campus for O Week too! :D

I'm definitely going!

[Deadcat Kaye]

I'ld go to the melbs gig but i'll be in sydney when it's on.

[Sarah]

WOOOOOOOO, CC are coming to Hobart! :D And it's the night I get back from seeing YKB! (If i still go!) :woot:

haha, see, this is what I get for not reading this thread. So UTAS actually have bothered getting bands for O Week (well, kinda O Week). Brittish India too. Shame I'm not really into either of them :p

[Colezy]

Haha, I found out after we had spoken about it at MS :p Read it in the Crucial Email a few days back.

[Sarah]

haha, I still don't get those emails, I'm sure I've signed up a billion times.

If I'm not working I'll go, but normally Friday nights are my nights at work (well, except I'm not working next Friday night for some unknown reason).

[mel_bound]

lol
heath
lol
hey amy
lol.

[Colezy]

I can still clearly see the look on her face when Heath walked past us at BDO and waved :p hahaha

[mel_bound]

Oh this is even better than that.

[Colezy]

Do tell!!

You know you wanna! :p

[mel_bound]

So, I guess after spending all day in a hospital watching your dad in pain wihtout knowing why he couldn't move his left hand side or see properly can fuck with your head a bit, when mum got there at about 5.30 she insisted I go and get something to eat.
So I walked out of the maze of the emergency ward and through the door into the waiting room and who would be sitting there but Heath. We made eye contact, and I was so out of it I gave him a full on head-tilt-WTF expression. Then he looked away with mega awkwardness and I thought AH IT IS YOU! When I got outside I burst out laughing and called Amy. For lolz. And spent the rest of the day laughing and crying and crying with laughter and crying.

yeah. That was probably not something to be shared on a forum but whatev.

[Colezy]

Haha, i can just imagine the look you gave him though :p

[Kacky]

Musicians at teh hospital. Excellent.

[Deadcat Kaye]

lol
heath
lol
hey amy
lol.

ha
hahahahahhaha
hahahaha
HAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

lulz.

[mel_bound]

So I woke up this afternoon and am still laughing about it. Bahahhaha.

[Deadcat Kaye]

Me too, and now adelio is laughing about it XD

[Deadcat Kaye]

I Am Going To Fist2Face To Day And Getting The New Farewell Rocketship Single

ForTheWin. :p

[Kacky]

Are you going to take your Rocketship with you?

[Deadcat Kaye]

Well, the new single has the Rocketship on it :D

It's epic, with 2 b-sides...1 of the songs I already have but still......Epic.

If you're thinking of going to Fist2Face to get it, they won't have it til wednesday (says pat)

I was impatient so I went to JB and got it :innocent:

[mel_bound]

single tiem! :D

[mel_bound]

So I saw Heath in the emergency room last friday, well, today on my way to Camberwell station, while walking across the bridge thing, i saw slicked hair, tight jeans, sunglasses and an upside-down-anchor-type tattoo. Ryan walked past. WTF. I was with Bec and started laughing. Then I turned around and did the RYAN! chant a few times.

I'm expecting to see Johnny somewhere in the next week. WTF. FTW.

[livingendrock]

Gotta say, was not impressed with these guys at all when I saw them at the White Noise tour. Not only did the singer sound like he was in pain, the guitars did as well! Just self-indulgent rubbish really, they looked as if they were playing for themselves and not the crowd. Very boring

[Colezy]

Nice review of the boys here - http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/reviews/events/17188/Children-Collide--Newtown-Workers-Club-Melbourne-220209.htm

Each to their own

[livingendrock]

Well thats exactly right. Im not judging anyone here for liking them, as you said each to their own. Just putting forward my opinion. But thankyou for not jumping down my throat! hehe. Just quietly, I still reckon they're better than Shortstack haha

[mel_bound]

Just quietly, I still reckon they're better than Shortstack haha
A clump of dirt is better than Short Stack :p

[Colezy]

Sooo, saw the CC boys tonight. Wow! Great gig. Hobart loves these boys and they all seem to love us back just as much! :D

Got some craptacular photos, which I shall post :p I had forgotten how dark it can get in there!

Spoke to Ryan and then later on Heath, which was good. Both confirmed that they're coming back down here in May (they think it's May) and that they'll be playing with The Grates! Score!!

While I was talking to Ryan, he borrowed my phone so that he had some light while trying to find a small part of his cymbal that he dropped while packing it away! haha

I went alone to the gig, but quickly made a friend, Tegan. She was a Nigel No Friends, like I was haha

Annnd after the CC had finished, I got chatting with the Merch girl, who took my details so that she could get in contact with me so that I can be a merch girl if ever she can't!

I got too giggly in front of Heath and forgot to ask for a photo, lolz.

[Kacky]

N'aww, cute!

[Colezy]

I was half way through saying "ewww" cos Ryan said "careful, i've got a REALLY sweaty back" haha

[Kacky]

Haha, smelly band boy!

[Deadcat Kaye]

Nicole wants' Ryan's sweaty back..obviously

[Colezy]

It's all mine.

[mel_bound]

Oh but I have Ryan's back at Camberwell train station xD

[Kacky]

They really have to stop stalking you, Mel!

[mel_bound]

Haven't been stalked by Johnny yet.

[RollOn]

Shannon saw Ryan the other night when he was at Bloodhound gang lol

Apparently him and Lainey started yelling out "Ryan Ryan........" and he just saluted to them LOL

[Colezy]

Haha, I considered doing the Ryan Chant the other night, but thought it could be a little weird! :p

[Lainey]

Shannon saw Ryan the other night when he was at Bloodhound gang lol

Apparently him and Lainey started yelling out "Ryan Ryan........" and he just saluted to them LOL

Lmao! Ahhh that was fun as :)

[Colezy]

Woohoo, new tour! I already knew this was happening though!


This is taken from an email I got from The Grates. I'll include the start of the email so that it makes sense and all:

h00dy d00dy,

START: *This is Patience typing* When I was young one of my friends (boyfriends) made a truly intelligent crack about my birthday which is May 4th. He said MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU. Pretty good, right? I have shared this knowledge with you for several reasons.
1) 4 is a really friendly number.
2) May is the best month of the year.
3) May is the month which we, The Grates, will be doing our final tour for this album! I know!!! What a coincidence, two awesome things at once, like pooping and eating at the same time! But there will be nothing shitty about our tour, as we'll be taking one of the finest, young bands Australia has out on the road with us. Tighten your butt holes... I'm about to make you shit...

Only thing is, the dates screw up my plans for my TLE/syd/canberra/melb trip!!
Both the Melb & Syd gigs are on the same nights as the TLE gigs are and I can't do the Hobart gig cos it's the night before the Melb one and obviously, I'll still be in Melb. Gah!!

Will have to work out a new plan to fit in all the gigs I wanna see!!

[Ben reed]

[Deadcat Kaye]

:laugh:

[Shadow]

For Amy (& anyone else interested):

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc355/Make_The_Call/childrencollidecovers.jpg

All three versions of The Long Now's scratchie cover. (A little dodgy because I screen-capped the clock and the voyager images from a promo ad and they aren't high-res.)

[mattheal]

thats awesome...

i still have to get a copy of this... and the special ed of white noise... saturday me thinks

[Ben reed]

children collide are playing groovin the moo!

[Deadcat Kaye]

children collide are playing groovin the moo!

lulwhut?!?!?? Since when

[Colezy]

Since the GTM website said so :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

well i am a happy child.

[Colezy]

Same! It's gonna be an awesome festival! :D

Also confirmed on their myspace page too.

[Ben reed]

rents don't want me to go to this, but it's always that way with festivals.
pretty much just because my 18 year old mate would be taking me and they don't want the responsibility to be on him and i'm seeing tle the night before anyway.
i'll keep trying ai:P

[Colezy]

Yeah keep trying, for sure!

You'll have to say hi to me at the Hisense gig! I've got no idea what you look like though :p

[Ben reed]

just look for a young sexy looking guy
and once you hook up with this guy, come say hi to me!
or alternatively add me on facebook or myspace

[Colezy]

haha, you dag :p
yes, i can read white writing!
Will add you on ze facebook then :)

[Ben reed]

aren't i just hilarious?
white writing is fun fun fun
i dislike forums with coloured backgrounds that don't have a matching font to the background
now thats no fun at all
i must meet you and various other forumers at the hisense gig
to date i've met mel and bec although i'm not sure who bec is on the forums
and i was squashed against josh in the tle mosh at bdo but didn't get a chance to talk to him

[Colezy]

I saw Josh at BDO too. Bec doens't come on here anymore.
I've met most forumers that go to Melby gigs..I think. I've met quite a few forumers over all though.

Can't work out which Ben Reed you on facebook, so myspace it is :p

[Ben reed]

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=715901553&ref=profile

[Colezy]

Myspace AND facebook then :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

[Ben reed]

my friend had a ticket for me and everything but my cricket team made the semi final and i had to play instead

CC xx

[Ben reed]

saw an ad on channel [v] for the grates tour and they mentioned cc

[Shadow]

They're also touring in April (just a reminder) on the Farewell Rocketship Tour.

[Colezy]

I wanted to go to the Ding Dong, gig but I am saving for Sydney in May. And it's sold out now anyway.

But I am seeing them on The Grates tour and at Groovin The Moo.

[Colezy]

[Colezy]

Or maybe its tomorrow night? I don't remember.

[mel_bound]

No it's tonight, and no I'm not, sold out though!

[Colezy]

I know! They've got a heap of sold out gigs for this tour. Awesome stuff :D

[Deadcat Kaye]

Epic interview in this weeks beat with all 3 boys.
They're heading into the studio again later this year which excites me beyond belief
The video clip was being played at JB Hi Fi which is epic and i saw it on channel V yesterday

[Colezy]

Farewell Rocketship vid?

I think that there is also an interview in this weeks (month?) Buzz magazine/streetpress too.

I've been listening to these guys NON STOP for so long now. I haven't even been able to listen to TLE for this amount of time with out getting sick of it!

Awesome news about hitting the studio :D

[Deadcat Kaye]

I recorded the NFL and
There's a video for NFL right before the game started
(Eels vs Dragons)
and
the intro to it...is children Collide playing social currency...like
whole new video of them playing SC, with cheerleaders and stuff

it's very cool :wub:
