Soundwaves Festival - Australia

[Kev]

Just when you thought that there couldn't possibly be one more festival this summer we get the announcement for Soundwave. So grab your crash helmet and strap yourself in for a great rock ride as acts such as the Deftones bring it loud and hard to a park land near you.



Event and ticketing information available on December 7 at www.soundwavefestival.com

SATURDAY 24 FEBRUARY BRISBANE – RIVERSTAGE
SUNDAY 25 FEBRUARY SYDNEY – SYDNEY PARK, NEWTOWN
SATURDAY 3 MARCH PERTH – ROBINSON PAVILION & SURROUNDS

The multiple stage event will feature exclusive performances by:
Deftones
+44
Thrice
Unwritten Law
Hatebreed
Parkway Drive*
18 Visions
Juliette & The Licks
Something With Numbers
Flyleaf
The Format
Houston Calls
Hit The Lights

With many more bands to be announced (we're withholding a few bands for no other reason than to have a 2nd announcement - it's rather fashionable. Apparently).

And then, there is the carnival rides, market stalls, good food, affordable drinks. Did we mention we have lots of port-a-bogs?

* Parkway Drive not appearing in Perth

Hahaha..

Newtown eh, could be interesting.

[Rock'n'Roll]

I'm hoping for an Unwritten Law/+44/Juliette and The Licks side show in Melbourne.

[kyle_182]

thats awesome +44.
but theres no show in melboune which is quite odd.

[Kev]

It could be announced soon. If they find a suitable venue that is.

[Jessii]

Yeah but there a week between Syd and Perth, so maybe certain bands will be doing more eastcoast shows then like Melb?

[cdejonge]

I heard about this. Fucking awesome! Even if no Melbourne show, I'd travel to see Unwritten Law and SWN. Awesome! :)

[Jessii]

On the poster for it, it says there will be 3 stages, every band will do a proper set and there will be a signing tent.

[cdejonge]

I'm still excited!

[Rhiannon]

Awww, Deftones and Thrice. I wanna gooooo~

[Jessii]

Anyone know when the 2nd announcement is?

[Kev]

Anyone know when the 2nd announcement is?

I remember reading somewhere that the 2nd announcement would be made just after Xmas..

[cdejonge]

Kev, could you please PM me if you hear any news about Melbourne shows (I know you'll post here, but just in case I don't get online much).

[Kev]

yeah no worries.

[damo0945]

i really hope they have a melb one

[cdejonge]

i really hope they have a melb onePretty sure there will be. Some sideshows announced already:

Deftones - February, 28 2007 at Festival Hall
Deftones - March, 1 2007 at Thebarton Theatre

My brother saw a ad in Beat last night for this. They're playing with some others bands from the festival. Thrice and 18 Visions were two of them (I think).

And more:

Unwritten Law - Mar 1 2007 @ Festival Hall, Melbourne
Unwritten Law - Mar 2 2007 @ Thebarton, Adelaide

Maybe with a band called As Fast As? Anybody heard of them? So fucking stoked! If anybody hears about presales, etc let me know.

[Jessii]

I saw Unwritten Law at soundwave in 2004 (that all rhymes) and it was huge disapointment. They were obviously very drunk, and when security guards were stopping people from climbing on stage and crowd diving they started yelling at the guards saying they like when people stage dive...

They were obviously very drunk, and when security guards were stopping people from climbing on stage and crowd diving they started yelling at the guards saying they like when people stage dive...I didn't realise there had been Soundwaves festivals before. I saw Unwritten Law last year and loved them. But I could understand them being drunk and crap. The singer looks like he's had many years of drink and drugs.

Just found this: http://www.myspace.com/asfastasmusic

[Jessii]

There was soundwave in Perth 2004, over 2 days, part of the gravity games, (extreme sports thing) the first day the headliner was Good Charlotte, second day it was Mxpx and Unwritten Law.

But it was called Soundwave, not soundwaves, and there was only one stage and no attractions or anything.

[kyle_182]

just got my tickets

[Jessii]

Cant get mine til wednesday

I got worried when people said they had their tickets. Then I remembered Melbourne hasn't been announced yet.

[Jessii]

The soundwave in Perth last yr, the headliner was Goldfinger.

[cdejonge]

The soundwave in Perth last yr, the headliner was Goldfinger.Oooo nice! I like them.

[Jessii]

The Bronx have announced they are doing it, and according to the soundwave msg board out of these 4 bands, 2 are apperently doing it.: Yellowcard NFG Lostprophets and MXPX.

[Rock'n'Roll]

The Bronx announced a sideshow in Melbourne too :)

[cdejonge]

[Jessii]

Lostprophets are in japan just before it, so maybe!
My sis has loved them for yrs and was so excited when they did the 2004 bdo.. but then they didnt do the perth one :(

[cdejonge]

I'm paying for my brother and sister-in-law's tickets for the Sydney show for Christmas. They didn't want to wait for the Melbourne show to be announced. I hope the Melbourne one does get announced eventually though. And soon preferably as well.

[Colezy]

You're a nice brother and brother-in-law, aren't you! Want to replace my current brother??

[cdejonge]

You're a nice brother and brother-in-law, aren't you! Want to replace my current brother??How much will you pay me? :p They always spend heaps on my presents. And usually I don't spend much on other people. Presents suck :(

[damo0945]

still hoping for a melb show... even if theres not theres a fair chance of a +44 sideshow isn't there?
(just humour me, i never got to see blink...)

[cdejonge]

(just humour me, i never got to see blink...)I would say so. I'm the same. Never saw Blink. I'm also waiting for news on the Melbourne show. And waiting for Unwritten Law tickets to go on sale.

EDIT: This week's Beat had an ad for +44 sideshow. I think it was February 27 at Festival Hall. With Unwritten Law supporting.

[Jessii]

2nd announcment on the 7th of Jan.

[cdejonge]

2nd announcment on the 7th of Jan.Cool, hope they announce Melbourne show. And I want some dates for when tickets come out for +44 and Unwritten Law sideshows.

[Kev]

+44, Unwritten Law, Juliette and the Licks & The Format are on the 27th of Feb at Festival Hall

[cdejonge]

Thanks Kev. Hmm, I should have got Sydney tickets. Oh well I might go to UL and +44 side shows.

[Rock'n'Roll]

The Bronx have announced some side shows too.

TUESDAY, FEB 27 - CANBERRA, GREEN ROOM
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28 - SYDNEY, ANNANDALE HOTEL
THURSDAY, MARCH 1 - ADELAIDE, FOWLERS LIVE
FRIDAY, MARCH 2 - MELBOURNE, THE HI-FI

The 2nd announcement has Suicidal Tendencies, MxPx, The Bronx, Terror, Behind Crimson Eyes, Forgive Durden, Trial Kennedy and Drive By.

All up i'd see UL, +44, The Bronx, Suicidal Tendencies, Juliette & The Licks. I like old hardcore bands, but Hatebreed and Terror are probably the better of the new hardcore bands so I wouldn't mind seeing them too.

[Jessii]

SUICIDAL TENDENCIES
MXPX
THE BRONX
TERROR
BEHIND CRIMSON EYES
FORGIVE DURDEN
TRIAL KENNEDY
DRIVE BY

Lostprophets pulled out :(

[cdejonge]

Lostprophets pulled out :(I'd be even more pissed off if they and NFG were playing. Still a bit bummed that there's no Melbourne show.

If anybody has any news, links, ticket release dates for the +44 and the Unwritten Law sideshows, could they please PM me. Thanks.

[Higgins]

unwritten law will probably do a sideshow down in melbourne coz they are doing one at the roundhouse in sydney so i dontknow why they wouldnt in melb.

[Kev]

The only link I could find about the +44 & UL sideys were on chuggs website.

Tix are on sale for the Melbourne gig this Friday (12th)

Also there is a date change. 1st of March is the new date. Don't know why it was changed.

[cdejonge]

EDIT: Oh, I thought originally UL had their own show. But the March 1 date is the +44 show with UL supporting yeah? So no separate show for UL headlining?

If not, I'll get tix for the +44 show. Anybody know what price of tickets will be?

I can't find anything on the ticketek site for prices. The shows not even listed, but could be listed either tomorrow, or Thursday seeing as tix go onsale Friday.

[kyle_182]

[cdejonge]

Derp. I meant ticketmaster. Incase I confused people.I thought that. Nothing there still. Hopefully tomorrow.

I got my +44 tickets today for Festy Hall - GA.

[Jessii]

The Format have cancelled.


Travis isn't touring with Plus44 during their European tour. The moderator said on the Soundwave board that they've been told it is so he is fit and healthy for their Japan/Aus shows.

[cdejonge]

Interesting. Thanks for that Jessii. You told me before who are replacing the Format but I forgot. Could you post it here please? :)

[Jessii]

I think they were called As Tall As Lions but i've never heard of them.

[cdejonge]

I think they were called As Tall As Lions but i've never heard of them.Here's their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/astallaslions

Listening to them now.

[Kev]

I just figured out who Juliette and the Licks are. hahahaha

I was reading some magazine at my Gran's earlier and there was a photo of Juliette Lewis and it mentioned her band. thats when it clicked.

[cdejonge]

I heard most of the bands at Soundwave were pretty awesome. I'm going to 2 of the sideshows in the next 2 days: Deftones, Thrice, Flyleaf & 18 Visions tomorrow and then +44, Unwritten Law, Juliette and the Licks & As Tall As Lions

[Jessii]

A 21 yr old died after the sydney one, got hit by a truck while on his way to train station!

[cdejonge]

A 21 yr old died after the sydney one, got hit by a truck while on his way to train station!Fark! That's horrible.

[Kev]

Hmmm Soundwave got lots and lots of negative feedback.

To most punters it seemed like a very disorganised festival.

[cdejonge]

Hmmm Soundwave got lots and lots of negative feedback.

To most punters it seemed like a very disorganised festival.I heard that too, but awesome music wise. Apparently not enough toilets and food stalls.

On Wednesday night I saw Deftones, Thrice, Eighteen Visions and Flyleaft (who I liked a lot).

Thursday, I saw +44 (were very good), Unwritten Law (always good), Juliett and the Licks (quite impressed) and As Tall As Lions (okay, but nothing to get excited about). Quote from Mark that night: "It's motherf***ing hot in here. I would know. I f*** mothers."

[Adele]

I didn't go to soundwave but I went to a sideshow that had 5 of the bands from it.. One of them was 'Forgive Durden'.. pretty awesome.. they have a banjo at times and at the end of one of the songs they had a big drum breakdown where each member in the band had a set of sticks, hitting the drums.. it was brilliant.

[Jessii]

Just got back from the Perth one, have shitloads of photos of Thrice, Mxpx and +44 and filmed some of their set too.
I met Thrice and +44. Mark Hoppus is the first person i was actually speechless to meet, instead of just rambling on tons.

[Jessii]

I wanted to take a photo with Mark but they wouldn't let you in the signing tent :(

I got id'd by 3 security guards and Mark ahah:

"Hey they first cd i ever bought was the Dammit single."
"How old were you then?????"

[cdejonge]

"Hey they first cd i ever bought was the Dammit single."
"How old were you then?????"hehe, that's funny :)

[Jessii]

Paul told him that he learnt bass because of him, and Mark wanted to keep chatting to him but security made us move. Damn.

[damo0945]

if i thought about heroes much i think mark hoppus would be about at the top of the list

[Jessii]

Yeah exactly the same as Paul's opinion!
