Tue 18th Nov, 2008 in Local News

Get out those calendars people, because January 2009 is going to be relentless. The full list of Big Day Out sideshows has now been announced, and our livers are quivering in anticipation.

Yesterday FL announced Arctic Monkeys dates, but it turns out that was just the tip of the iceberg. The one many have been waiting for, TV On The Radio, will be working their considerable charms on Sydney and Melbourne. Serj Tankian is set to play his first-ever solo headline shows down under, accompanied by Fantomas – a super-group spearheaded by Mike Patton (Faith No More) and Buzz Osborne (The Melvins)! Big Day Out third round, anyone?

Then there’s something on the side from Dropkick Murphys, Simian Mobile Disco, Pendulum, The Ting Tings, The Black Kids, Lupe Fiasco and Hot Chip. In addition to their headline dates in Brisbane and Sydney, rave overlords The Prodigy have also locked in an assault on Melbourne.

This is of course on top of the already announced sideshows for Neil Young and My Morning Jacket.

Feast your eyes on this super-delivery of Big Day Out sideshows. All tickets on sale Monday 1 December.

Well they're actually playing all of 'Director's Cut' so start with that I guess. It's a whole bunch of film score interpretations.

I know of people that have TVotR tickets already?
Normally I wouldn't believe them but a few years back I got Bloc Party tickets 4 days before they went on sale because I fronted up at the Metro in my uniform during work.

MorningAfterboy

If anyone knows if there are tickets being sold earlier for TVOTR, then be sure to let me know!

they should stick to rimming.

The Butterfly Effect is well enough known to deserve an acronym?

mooney88

certainly not good enough

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 28th Nov, 2008

Who else could I possibly be talking about though? Australian band with the initials TBE...

Regardless, they just put out a record this year and they're usually festival regulars, so I thought they'd be on board for sure.

They suck, comparing them (and likening them) to Rage Against The Machine is journalistic travesty. JackT would be shot for something similar.

No, see, they are quite similar.
Just because you hate everything, doesn't make it "journalistic travesty".

Yes, it does.

It's pretty easy to understand really.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 30th Nov, 2008

No, not really. You just seem to let pointless vendetta and hate get in the way of perfectly reasonable comparisons.

Again, perhaps you should stick to the comedy for awhile.

Again, perhaps you should stick to the comedy for awhile.

MAB, you know perfectly well that I look at all music with an open mind and am always looking for a reason to like a band or a genre. In my opinion the Australian "heavy rock" industry has not been good (nor has it had an original idea) since the early 90s. These new wave "bogan" rock bands like Cog, Mammal and The Butterfly Effect bring absolutely nothing to the Australian music scene apart from filler on a festival lineup. That's how I feel about it, and that's how I have always felt about it. It doesn't make me wrong, nor does it mean I have a "pointless vendetta". I also hardly seem to think that it is a "reasonable comparison", to compare Mammal to one of the biggest heavy rock acts of the last 20 years is terrible and an insult to Rage Against The Machine and their fans.

Of course, you can always take me not liking the above bands as a personal insult. That's probably easier to respond to.

Of course, you can always take me not liking the above bands as a personal insult. That's probably easier to respond to.

Firstly, lately you've been negative about pretty much 90% of bands discussed. So you can get where I would get the idea that you're just hating on music for no particular reason.

Secondly, I don't get how any of those bands you listed are bogan. Maybe it's me who's out of touch, but a fanbase doesn't really define the music.

To say Cog, as an example, don't bring anything new to the Australian music scene, to me, is a completely ridiculous statement. There are few rock albums I hold in higher regard, nationality regardless, than The New Normal. I think it's a well-structured, intelligent and very progressive piece of work that no Australian band has topped since its 2005 release. Here is a band with a statement and a mission that are creating something that many are connecting with, with a sound that is very distinctively theirs- I find it incredibly hard to mistake a Cog song for anything other than a Cog song.

As for Mammal? Making a comparison to RATM with them is perfectly valid- there's the political agenda, the mixing of rap and heavy rock, the high energy levels. Just because you don't like the band (again, something you haven't properly explained), doesn't mean the comparison is void.
I fucking hate Airbourne, for example, but I have no problem with people comparing them to AC/DC (whom, despite many flaws, I have great respect for).

You're free to think otherwise, of course.
I just don't know where you draw your opinions from.

dkos

dkos said on the 1st Dec, 2008

I've been negative about Coldplay? That's about it? But I suppose they make up 90% of bands...

A fanbase doesn't define music.. But the music creates its own fanbase. People didn't walk around with mohawks etc before the punk movement, the punk movement enticed them to do so. The music of Cog et al. (Australian heavy rock) entices people to be loutish and act like bogans, it's as simple as that.

The only thing about Cog is the fact that the guy has an unusual voice, and this enables you to differentiate them from any other band quite easily. But of course, I am talking about the music, not his vocals. For a "progressive" band they very rarely seem to do anything with any sense of progress to it.

Again, with the Mammal you seem to have taken exception to the fact that I have taken exception to their description in Rolling Stone. That is, by combining two great bands you come up with one very mediocre band (Mammal = RATM + Tool). As for reasons to dislike them, have you seen them live?

But then I suppose I haven't explained why I don't like Mammal, apart from their lack of originality and their complete inability to do something worthwhile for Australian music - and you've called me up on it. Then you have the audacity to say that you "fucking hate Airbourne" without giving any proper reasons, consistency please MAB.

Anyways, I draw my opinions from listening to them both live and recorded, as any music fan should.

MorningAfterboy said on the 1st Dec, 2008



I 'unno, man, it's just everytime I see one of your posts in the music section I think "Man, he's going to think this band sucks". And I'm pretty much always right.



It does? I mean, I've seen these bands live and the worst I've seen out of the audience is a mosh pit or two.



It's not just the vocals, man. Lucius is a sensational drummer with a very distinctive style, and a lot of the guitar tones used etc. give them the "Cog" sound.


I've spoken out several times on why I hate Airbourne. I'll be happy to repeat it all if you want me to.

Mammal are definitely doing something worthwhile, in my opinion. They're an exciting, loud and passionate band that have gone from obscurity to huge demand on their live show alone (I don't know who you saw live, but I'm yet to meet a single person who has been to their show that hasn't sung their praises, or read a critic's review of one of their shows and give any kind of negative feedback). Plus, they're raising awareness of Australia's independent (read: not "indie") rock music scene, and garnering further support through it with their shows.
Now, personally, I see nothing wrong with that.

Tickets are still available to all the Metro BDO sideshows, everyone! But I'd recommend getting in quickly as I suspect they're all close to selling out.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 1st Dec, 2008

As for Enmore shows:

Lupe Fiasco: Still available
Hot Chip: Still available
Arctic Monkeys: Sold out, moved to Hordern
Pendulum: Still available- No surprises there, what the hell were/are they thinking
Serj/Fantomas: Still available

Just an update, it seems none of the shows have sold out (even the Monkeys now have more tickets on sale).
Strange...

Pendulum, and I have been looked after for TVotR and Black Kids (if I feel like seeing them again).

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 1st Dec, 2008

I think Pendulum are getting in way over their heads. The ticket price is ridiculous and they won't fill the Enmore at all. Just because they're the shit in the U.K. doesn't make them gods here.

MorningAfterboy said on the 1st Dec, 2008

Rocking out with my dad is fun, but expensive.

Rocking out with friends with a more contemporary band, and one that is both more affordable and more familiar with me, works more to my favour.

So have fun at Neil Young, I'm sure he'll be great.
But I've been waiting to see this band for nearly two years, and not a goddamn thing is gonna stop me.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 1st Dec, 2008

Read: that is both more affordable and more familiar with me

a) $58 in comparison to...what is it, $120?
b) I have worshipped TVOTR's music for nearly four years, whereas I'm only comparatively new to Neil Young's work (my father having bought me a copy of Harvest for my seventeenth birthday).

I won't dispute the fact he's a legend. I will guarantee, however, that I'll have a better time at TVOTR than I would at Neil Young.
