:rof: Dig are doing something pretty sick until Double J officially begins tomorrow at midday - they're playing "Express Yourself" in its various forms & covers on repeat.

Hopefully double J is only two-thirds as shit as triple J.
does anybody much follow the local music scene in newcastle?
I know in sydney there is FBI radio that has as part of its license requirements to play something like 90% Sydney based artists, is there anything like this in newcastle? or at the very least there is sure to be someone that follows/reports/blogs on the music in newcastle on a regular basis, local acts etc.
at any rate would be very interested to talk to anyone about this kind of thing if anyone has any information for me.
not looking for self promoters though.
I spent many a year following, playing in, organizing shows, drinking heavily, with the local heavy scene. however I haven't been to too many local shows of late and now I'm a bit out of the loop..Quote:

As I said, my experience was mainly with the heavy scene, not all music in Newy.. I don't know of anyone following, reporting and blogging on all aspects of live music around Newy.. Would be a cool thing to get in to and look at though!
We played live on that Metal Show a few times in the late 90's. Wish I still had the tapes.Quote:

I remember in the mid 90's there would be multiple pubs packed out with punters watching original bands. Used to even get enough money to cover strings, transport and more piss than I could (should) drink.
Sadly I haven't played in a band for over 10 years so I am really out of touch with the scene.
But if anyone wants to start a band I have a guitar and like to make noise.
The Hunter on Hunter was a good venue to hear alternative bands back in the early 90's. Mix of metal, grunge, and what the **** is this crap.
Most of the people I knew back then haven't played or sang for at least twenty years or so.
I can remember a few bands from the mid 90s.
Faceplant
Big men fly
Vasoline machine gun who changed their name to hound.
There were a few metal bands but can't remember their names. I mostly went to the cambo back then.
New Kasabian. Very different, I like it!

Hound made a demo that wasn't too bad but nothing ever came of it. Good band though.Quote:

New album coming out from Every Time I Die.. Pretty sweet film clip to go along with the first single..
This film clip is how I imagine life would be like if you got SD and Hamma to live together.. Just rockin' out, turpsing on and lovin' life.. :pissup:

Loving the new album from The Beards. Stroking my Beard is the highlight for me. First heard it as part of the World Beard Day concert and it is quite excellent.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlgbKIswpzI
One of my all-time favourite videos.
I know it's so gimmicky but they are actually pretty decent musos as well. And they sound excellent live as well.
I'd say they play better than 99% of mainstream bands without any hesitation. They do an awesome cover of Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top.Quote:

RIP 18 years ago. Bradley Nowell
Sublime are one of the best bands of the 90's hands down.
Had the TV on in the background while I was doing some computer stuff
Turn down for What by Lil Jon music video came on

New Mastodon album is pretty damn awesome..
Saucy bitches at the start of this clip too.. hahaha

Since I got shown this (a few weeks ago?) I seriously think I've listened to it at least once a day. Far out, love it!

I'm not sure what to make of this band, King 810..
To me it sounds like a very polished, generic rip-off of the late 90's/early noughties angsty metal bands.. However it is well-produced, catchy as fvck, and pretty damn tough at the same time..
Keep an eye out for these guys to become the next Slipknot/Korn, particularly with Roadrunner Records behind them..

One week till the new Ace Frehley album, Space Invader comes out. Can't wait for it, his last album was a cracker and this one is getting great reviews.

First Soundwave lineup announcement has just come out:
http://www.soundwavefestival.com/
I'm actually not so impressed with it at the moment.. A couple of really good big names (FNM, Soundgarden, etc) but other than that, to me, its boring as batshit..
Already turning in to the next BDO..
I don't know,
Slash
Lamb of God
Ministry
Fear Factory
I still won't go though, I will wait and hope they do side shows.
Yeah they are good, along with Judas Priest and Mayhem (who I didn't think were actually allowed in the country?? haha)..Quote:

Aaaand....TIME!!! Alright, that's it...Z2 is done. Down to literally the last seconds. Shoot for the stars, hope we at least get to the moon
Oh mate, nice..Quote:

Been wanting to download their album but I'm too afraid to go searching for it incase I get put on some federal register or come across some unsavoury material.. hahaha

Syro - Aphex Twin.
Quality.
Went and saw Angus and Julia Stone the other night.
Julia Stone is an angel.
