NIN rate Perth the top crowd

Tue 3rd Mar, 2009 in Local News

With Soundwave Festival done and dusted for another year, reigning headliners Nine Inch Nails have named the Perth event as their favourite. Passing the time in an airport lounge, the band members made several Twitter posts praising the final stop of the tour. Fans watching NIN’s set in Perth were treated to a surprise appearance by members of Dillinger Escape Plan during Wish – capping off a special night.

“Perth show was spectacular,” bassist Justin Meldal-Johnsen – œTweeted’. “They win the Best Australian Audience award. And the end of the show? Wow.” The highlight for Trent Reznor was somewhat different. “Perth reintroduces the long-lost rock tradition of tit-flashing. Finally! I knew it would eventually come back in style,” enthused the frontman.

“To clarify: Perth audience excellent, anatomy display notwithstanding :) Dillinger joined for Wish at the end; destruction/melted faces,” added Meldal-Johnsen.

Well, well, Perth – pat yourself on your back and naked breast. True to the promise of organisers, the final weekend of Soundwave was largely hassle-free for punters. If you’ve missed any of the coverage over the 2009 circuit, everything you need is below.
