No sideshows for GoodVibrations in 2011

Fri 29th Oct, 2010 in Local News

Although Laneway , Big Day Out and Soundwave have all announced festival sideshows Good Vibrations will not be following their lead.

A statement from the festival’s promoters has confirmed that there’ll be no sideshows in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland or Western Australia, which means that the only way to see the amazing acts on the bill is to grab a ticket to the festival. Guess that means the date for a Friendly Fires show at the Enmore that was leaked is now officially a no go.

Punters hoping to see Faithless, Phoenix, Nas & Damian Marley, Cee Lo Green, Kelis, Erykah Badu, Miike Snow, Friendly Fires and the rest of the Good Vibrations lineup will have to grab festival tickets, start working on their pecs and book in a fake tan appointment.

The local lineups for each city are set to be announced next week.

It's not like we were going to get a Janelle Monae sideshow in Perth anyway but this still sucks.

don't really care about phoenix tbh as I went to their last tour and it owned, was more interested in an eryka badu, janelle monae sideshow. Looks like I might have to go to this, lineups great but such a shit festival..fuuuuck.

as an adelaidian, where we do not get to experience the delights of said festival, what's the general stigma associated with good vibes? is it just bdo but instead of wife beaters everyone wears fake tan instead? or are it's problems on a whole nother level?

What a joke.
I used to absolutely LOVE Good Vibes. It was a totally rad day when it was at Sidney Myer. You could chill on the hill, walk around on the grass. Fleminton is balls though. Such a shite venue. In saying this, I will definitely be going if I can find a way to afford it. It's all aboot the music, right?

This is not unusual people. It is extremely rare for Good Vibes artists to be doing sideshows. I think there have been maybe 1 or 2 in the history of the festival.

benr3 said on the 1st Nov, 2010

Yeah I read that a while ago, it was the reason I bought GV tickets before this 'announcement' was made.

It's still a dirty money grabbing tactic, if the promoters gave a shit about the Australian public and the music scene over here they would be putting on as many sideshows as possible.

The point has been raised before but the summer festival circuit is way over crowded at the moment which seems to be having all kinds of negative effects. There is a distinct lack of side shows from any of the major festivals - (probably because the promoters want to make sure that their festival sells out). Sydney ( and also the rest of the country) has missed out on a lot of potential great gigs this summer :(

its stupid, its going to sell out regardless

the majority of people who would fill a faithless arena show are not the kind of people who will go to good vibes

same goes for most people on the lineup

after gvf sells out phoenix could still fill the hordern, sasha could pack out any club in sydney, ludacris, kelis, cee-lo, nas/damien marley, friendly fires etc could all fill the enmore and melbourne/brisbane etc equivalent by themselves after the jersey shore has already bought up centennial

Sasha will be playing Laundry afterwards, and there will be a few dj sets in the Ivy from acts too.

Sasha is rumoured to be playing a set at a standard Saturday Chinese Laundry club night, it hasn't been advertised and you can only buy tickets on the door, and also the Laundry is owned and operated by Jam Music (owners of G.V. fest.),

To call this a sideshow is more than a stretch of the imagination!

How is it not a sideshow? An act plays a show at another venue besides the festival, that would classify as a sideshow to me. I dont think it really matters that Hemmes owns GV and Laundry. He is being clever in giving the sideshow to his own establishments only to get more money out of it.

benr3

benr3 said on the 3rd Nov, 2010

Firstly, I perceive his "cleverness" as greed and that puts me off going altogether.

The reason I don't think its fair to call it a side show is that the rumours state that he will play a set at Chinese Laundry after G.V. not headline his own gig.

Just playing a set at a club night that happens every Saturday could hardly be classified as a stand alone Sasha gig.

Rusko is also rumoured to play a set at the VOID dubstep night in Sydney but as he will also be playing with around 6 other DJ's and the gig is called VOID not "Rusko" its not a sideshow either.

lanesra23

lanesra23 said on the 3rd Nov, 2010

The DJ/producers on the bill doing after-parties is hardly an abnormal thing. I doubt you could call it greedy.

benr3

benr3 said on the 3rd Nov, 2010

^^
No you've missed the point, the reason I think its greedy is because they have made zero effort to arrange this, Laundry is open every Saturday anyway. This is a really cheap gig for jam music to arrange as their only extra cost will be a cab ride down oxford st for Sasha after GV. The promoters just want to make sure that the Laundry is full that night (most of the club regulars will be at Good Vibes), they don't give a shit about bringing quality entertainment to the music loving masses.

So now fans of Sasha (which by the way I am not) have to see a half arsed set in one of the worst designed/sounding night clubs I have ever been in.

Rather than putting on a proper stand alone show that would take a lot of extra effort to organise, they're just gonna tack Sasha onto the end of a club night that was already happening anyway so they can make maximum profit with no extra effort.

lanesra23

lanesra23 said on the 3rd Nov, 2010

I didn't miss the point. I'm just saying, it's not a big deal. It's ridiculous that you're taking offense to someone making an extra buck in the big bad world.

What I don't understand about your lengthy, obtuse point is that Jam have been doing this for years. Deal with it.

Waaaaaa. Music promoters are doing things to make money? What the fuck has happened to the world? Stop being such a pussy. Someone further up, who's comment I couldn't be arsed scrolling up for, just listed half of the acts on the GV lineup who could draw punters who aren't GV fans, or some shit. The point of arranging a good lineup to a festival is to encourage people to go to the festival. Stop having a cry. I've never been to Good Vibes and I never thought I'd go. But Janelle Monae, Phoenix, Nas and Damien Marley, Kelis et al are going to be awesome, so I'm going. Because I'm not a whiney douchebag.

Agreed! And Phoenix are such an odd choice for this type of festival in the first place.

They're all better than Phoenix anyway.

benr3 said on the 9th Nov, 2010

Tom, my response to Lanestra23 is below and can also be applied to your "comment"

You did miss the point, and you have missed it a second time!, here is my point for the third and final time, I'm afraid you're on your own from here, in the future will have to locate it by yourself!

I have no issue with Promoters making money, in fact, I pay money to the big promoters everyday - its my job, and I am well aware that if they didn't exist there would be no roof over my head or food on my table. My problem is that they are just making a quick and easy buck rather than putting some real effort in. If they wanted to they could easily put on multiple sideshows around the country giving Aussie music fans many fantastic gigs to enjoy, instead they are doing the bare minimum.

benr3

benr3 said on the 9th Nov, 2010

Sadly I have paid $150 just to see Erykah Badu, luckily I have seen her overseas and it was definitely worth it, plus I would be very surprised if she comes back to Australia ever.

GV sucks - never again!

Sorry, I thought this was a discussion forum, I realise now that independant thought is not the way forward. From now on I will simply read everything that everyone else posts and resist my own opinions in an effort to aline myself with your obviousy far superior way of thinking.

How about "Good on them for booking such great acts", not "Fuck them for booking such great acts for a festival and then not giving said acts' fans sideshows/reasons not to go to the festival in the first place."

Man, I'm so pissed off that The New Pornographers didn't play at my party on the weekend, even though their gig last night was awesome. Fuck those guys.

benr3

benr3 said on the 10th Nov, 2010

They booked a whole bunch of shitty acts that I don't want to see, apart from Erykah Badu, hence my annoyance.

bugger... i really wanted to see janelle monae, amongst fans of janelle monae. i'm looking forward to the festival but i'm obsessed with archandroid and was hoping for a more intermate sideshow, possibly with or supporting erikah badu. i have never loved a modern "r&b" album as much as this one; it is already up there with my favourite lps ever.

anyone who can't find $150 of value in this lineup is on crack. janelle monae, cee lo, kelis, nas+damien, rusko, erykah are all amazing artists. and permitting clashes miike snow and faithless could be fun too. hopefully cee lo is on at the same time as pheonix, so i don't have to put up with jjj-ogans who only know fuck you and crazy.

FYI - There will be lots of people at GV who only know one or two songs by each artist, if there were going to be side shows it wouldn't be a problem but now the fest will be full of people who have never been there before and are only interested in seeing one or two artists. Also - I would choose to watch Cee-lo over Pheonix if it came down to it, I don't listen to triple J but I still only know his song "fuck you", I thought Crazy was a duet he did with some D.J.? does this actually count as a Cee-lo song, has anyone seen him sing it by himself?

Braveheart81

Braveheart81 said on the 22nd Nov, 2010

Crazy was by Gnarls Barkley which is a collaboration between Cee Lo Green and Danger Mouse. I'm pretty sure Cee Lo would sing it in his own show as it's not like Danger Mouse is required for the performance. I'm just guessing though.

Andeh said on the 22nd Nov, 2010

danger mouse isn't 'some dj'.

yeah, he plays a few gb songs live i think, crazy usually.

i just think people bitching about having to go to good vibes need to have a closer look at the lineup. it isnt full of meathead doof doof. it's probably the strongest lineup this summer (even given golden plains and bdo have bought out some huge surprises, but maybe thats just my bias towards janelle-erykah)

There's always time for good English.

If Good Vibes is full of good artists with 'good' fans, then doesn't it follow that the festival will be full of those fans? If everyone that's frothing on Janelle and Erykah etc goes to the actual concert, that is. Which is apparently an absurd thought.

chico21

chico21 said on the 22nd Nov, 2010

I'm pretty excited about the GV lineup. Phoenix, Friendly Fires, Nas, Cee-lo, Erykah, Faithless, Ludacris, Kelis - there is plenty there for me to be excited about. I would probably have rathered seeing sideshows of Phoenix and and FF but for $150 I'm happy to enjoy the day with a few extra acts.

That definitely needs to be swapped around. Rusko = shitty dubstep producer with a terrible album, called O.M.G.!. He will be DJ-ing. Faithless = one of the best live dance acts, ever. They will have a full live band.

Not really picking a fight, it's just unfair to place Rusko almost any live dance act, let alone Faithless.

Andeh said on the 22nd Nov, 2010

but seriously, what acts apart from pheonix are even likely to bring in the meathead bogan bad crowd element.

My bad, by 'dubstep' I was referring to the fart-wobble crap that 'meathead bogans' seem to think is 'dubstep'. I'm well aware of the fact that original 'dubstep' includes the likes of Burial, Caribou, Scuba, etc. Try telling that to a fan of Rusko or Afrojack.

Edit: Not claiming that the examples I gave were the first dubstep producers.

Get Fucked smart ass. I wasn't familiar with a DJ who rarely releases anything under his own name and is most well known for collaborating on other artists records. - well don't I feel stupid for not being in the loop.

Judging by Dangermouse's back catalogue (just wiki'd) I am pretty certain that you and most other Australians would not even know who he is but for the Gnarls Barkley album.

Also - this is a music website , but the part you are on now is called a forum. This is a space where people discuss music, ask questions, find out answers etc etc. Some people may even have an opinion that is different to yours! If you can't handle that then maybe forums are not the best place for you to hang out - maybe you could start up a blog or something so you don't have to deal with anyone who isn't into your way of thinking?

Ben, Danger Mouse did a little thing called The Grey Album. Pretty well known, respected, loved etc. He also did Gnarls Barkley, this is true, which is maybe his most famous and arguably best work. Also, produced Gorillaz, the Black Keys, Dark Night of the Soul, Broken Bells and a heap of other awesome stuff.

Also, "most other Australians would not even know who he is" because most Australians don't know much about anything. You are most Australians.

he's produced some pretty good albums that are worth a listen, depending on what kind of music you dig: sparklehorse's dark night of the soul (i can't post any videos, as i'm a new member, but 'just war' featuring gruff rhys is a nice ditty) & dangerdoom (check out: benzi box & the mask) are both pretty good.

...seriously though he's not quite worth arguing over.
Although Blue God, the album he produced for Martina Topley Bird is an amazing album.

This opinion is why you shouldn't be hanging out in discussion forums.

Just because you fall asleep at night staring lovingly at your Danger Mouse poster clutching a mash up album of Jay z and the Beatles songs doesn't mean that anyone else gives a shit about it.

Chill Winston.
