Aus and NZ Tours

I agree with the stuff about the Getaway Plan...their not bad..but its not something we havent heard before.

Mammal however...omfg one of the best bands of the day in my opinion. I'd never heard any of their music before...but i had sooooooooooo much fun during their set.
and The Living End = awesome. He played guitar with a full beer bottle..it was the most australian thing i have ever seen lol
Ash Phoenix were pretty cool as well..

k i'll stop ranting now lol

asha molly.:

Rhiannon- nope, didn't end up going D:
I was SO pissed off.
Even more so after seeing them yesterday and being completely blown away!

Also, I have come to realise that The Getaway Plan are so overrated.
They haven't changed their setlist AT ALL since the Kisschasy tour, where they played the exact same thing every show.
And their fans = EPIC FAIL.
I wanted to slap 90% of them for a) being clones, and b) fucking squealing because the guitar player was setting things up.
Not to mention they were just up themselves fucks who were trying to get to the front with no regard for anybody else. People were falling over, and nobody was helping them up, I felt like pointing out to them that they're really not that great just because they like a band that is obviously flavour of the month in the scene world.
And then, when they were doing their soundcheck, they were doing it over the top of the band already playing at the time, which I thought was extremely rude. Seriously, it was pissing me off SO MUCH, because Children Collide were on at the time, and I love them.
I would have been so angry if I were them.


But other than that, it was an awesome day.
I ended up meeting a hell of a lot of bands, which was awesome ;D



Also, there's a new Gyroscope & Shihad tour that is going basically everywhere.
I was so fucking excited when I heard about that, because they're going to Penrith,
and then I realised it's on the same night as Panic.
I was so upset. Seriously, I would absolutely LOVE to go to that. D:

OH NO!! TGP soundchecking over CC??!! I love CC...I'd get annoyed at TGP also for doing that even tho i do love them.

"And their fans = EPIC FAIL."
I could pretty much agree with you, if you're not talking about the 5% who are normal people...like myself. ahahha. And yes, I hate kids who scream at the slightest & most insignificant things, when the band isn't even appearing. But hey...clones? I thought the crowd I saw at their promo gig was like a replica of the MCR lineup. Anyways, I'm starting to get scared that my friends will get freaked at TGP crowd at the Annandale when they come to hangout for my bday thing. I just think...TGP's music isn't even stereotypically 'emo'...I don't get why they don't have other sorts of people at their gigs. Maybe...it was them supporting MCR that did it...

edit: Soundwave has confirmed THIRTY SIX bands already!!?! ok, even if i see the lineup now, with my favourite bands on it, I won't even believe it...but if anyone *ahem*Asha*ahem* could drop a few names...hehehe

Hahaha, I love when people love Mammal. Seriously. Glad to hear they've lost none of their presence whilst being in the studio. Not that I thought the would, but yanno.

Do either of you remember what they played?

Not that it matters much, I guess, cause the show I go to will probably be a totally different setlist altogether given that a) they change it up so much every show, and b) it's a single launch. But I'm curious as to what their post-album setlist is like.

Also, Asha; THANK YOU. I have been saying the same thing about TGP for a long time, that they're overrated. But I tend to rant to my boyfriend about and keep my opinion to myself everywhere else cause everyone seems to be SO in love with them. I'm like, why?

Also, the part where Chris does the beer bottle slide? It makes me laugh how wowed people still are by that. Like I've seen him play E Boogie live like 5 times or something, so it's almost routine for me. Though sometimes they change the song up a little. But I remember how wowed I was the first time I saw it and love that people still get a kick outta it.

Haha. Oh well. It was worth a shot.

But that's what I love about them too; you can hardly know them and still enjoy it. Like I remember the first time I saw them. I went to go see Vanden and they were headlining. Didn't know them at all. Fell in love with them, and had so much fun despite not knowing a single lyric. Which is unusual. Cause I can like a band first time I see them, but usually have to go away and listen to their stuff before I fall in love. But Mammal, just love. And Zeke kept staring at me. It was so intimidating. /tangent


TLE. Just love. Gosh. I'm so jealous that you saw them. There's no words to describe how freaking amazing they are.

So for anyone who isn't on the FasterLouder mailing list, there's competition on atm to win Splendour tickets. Just so you know. And I'm a nice person so I posted it here Hehe. You have to be over 18 though.

I got that email. For some reason, FL always doesn't work on my computer. I can't log in. Giant. Meh.

I was gonna try enter, but I shouldn't. I have a wedding on then, someone in my boyfriend's family - his brother is already in the bad books cause he's going to Splendour instead of the wedding. xDDDD

Would be nice if someone here won it.

Hahaha! Yeah, I guess not. I'd be pissed off if someone went to a music festival instead of my wedding! (Though I didn't go to one of my cousins' wedding because I was staying at my boyfriend's house in the country at that time. Hahaha. Poor Elle.)

It would be nice if one of us won it.

So Vodafone Arena has been renamed to Hisense Arena, so says the Judas Priest tour information.
