I saw the Sydney venue, & I was like WTF, where is Eastern Creek Raceway? Alternative music and the western suburbs don't sound right loll, the bus services better be good.

ps: i saw the aerial picture of the venue...at least there are no hills...flat as anything.

Oh! I forgot to add!
All tickets for the new sideshows go on sale on Jan 16th Smile

And i think the Eastern Creek Raceway has potential...especially if its all flat :]
Going to be hard getting home though :S

Man you guys are so lucky to have Soundwave in Aussie.

Any NZers keen for Nine Inch Nails? Any info on the support band?

asha your totally right about eastern creek being the perfect venue i just found it funny at first because like amy said, alternative music and western syd dont exactly go together, but it is an awesome venue too bad im not going this year it wouldve been easy for me to get to and from

haha that was also my first reaction. i was like 'is that even in sydney?'. it looks pretty big though, which is good. but i heard it gets really hot out there. like whatever the temperature it is in the city, its 10 degrees hotter out there.

I'm pretty stoked about the venue.
It's huge, flat, and really fucking close to my house (:

A quick BDO recap:

The Ting Tings totally owned BDO this year, imo. They were fucking fantastic live, hands down the best band of the day. Plus I got to meet them at the signing tent afterwards. (:

Neil Young was brilliant live, especially when he played songs that I actually knew, hahah.

Dissapointments would be the Arctic Monkeys (they were kind of boring/lacked anything special) and The Living End. I know a lot of you love TLE, but their music has always kind of irked me and they failed to win me over with their live performance.

But all in all it was another great day. (:

Yay for Ting Tings love. (: Thanks, guys.

I bought an awesome Ting Tings shirt. It's white and has cartoon pictures of Katie and Jules on it, and then different outfits with little tab thingys on them like you can cut them out...except not really, haha. Um and then my dad and I both got the mandatory BDO shirt, just a black one with a BDO logo in a circle on the front and the cities in a circle on the back. Then dad got a brown Neil Young shirt with orange print and a picture of a bird on it.

I have to say the merch was really great this year, there's lots of cool hats and plenty of different shirts to choose from. (:

/long, hahah

edit: Oh, I found a picture of The Ting Tings shirt.
Fifth one down on the left.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Maybe I'll go to Melbourne for it. Seriously. They were so awesome at Soundwave. It's Easter weekend. Also, why are there two 18+ Melb shows?

The second gig isn't even on the site yet. I wonder if one is supposed to be u18? It's weird. It's gonna be weird seeing them there, too. Like the last time I was at Billboard I was wearing a mini skirt and clubbing with a friend for her birthday. I can't imagine seeing it set up for a gig.


I'm tryiong to decide if I should go the day after my b'day, or two days after. Hmm.
