metal beat Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I wonder what is happening in March. Jon Spencer Blues are playing as is Dinosaur Jr with Red Kross - that will be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caddisgeek Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Dinosaur Jr, Mark of Cain, Redd Kross and the Blues Explosion are playing Golden Plains at Meredith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caddisgeek Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 ...so do it. They're touring on the back of a new album early next year - Melbourne's on March 15. I'll see how things pan out, so much good stuff on at the moment. I live in the country, so going to Melbourne for gigs is a time consuming and expensive mission. Already have Meredith, Jeff the Brotherhood, Stooges and most likely Blues Explosion lined up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MellowFellow Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) I wonder what is happening in March. I know... I generally avoid festivals completely but decided to attend "I'll be your Mirror" and Soundwave next year because there's no other way I'd get to Einstürzende Neubauten, My Bloody Valentine, Swans, Beasts of Bourbon, A Perfect Circle, Red Fang and Kyuss. The month's just too full of all the other gigs! Edited November 15, 2012 by MellowFellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Leece Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Tickers for Mr. Young here in the Entertainment Centre. Probably not the best of venues, but seeing Mr. Young has to be done, especially with The Horse in tow... Looking forward to that gig! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalFB Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Extreme are touring in April with the outrageously good Richie Kotzen as support. It's a big start to the year next year; Soundwave, Deep Purple, Journey, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, and now Kotzen and Extreme. Now I just need Van Halen to fulfill their obligation to play here and 2013 will be a big success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidsss Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 For those interested Bruce Springsteen will tour early next year. My partner is a big fan so I was going to get tickets if I can. On Monday off to see The Saints, The Stranglers and Blondie. DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O.Sydney Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 On Monday off to see The Saints, The Stranglers and Blondie. DS The Saints were playing yesterday and they Rocked !! Also; Shapeshifter, good Julia Stone, very good Hilltop Hoods, ok Tim Minchin, great performer and Blondie, loved it, friends went to see her last Thursday night at the Enmore and they said she ROCKED. The night before we were a bit late for the Church and Devo but caught all of Simple Minds, we were having so much fun people around us were a little cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsss Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 The saints, Stranglers and Blondie was a good show. Starting with the Saints, well Chris Bailey and some other people, they played well and Bailey seems to have kept his voice. The Stranglers sounded very much like the studio recordings of their songs, they played very tight and very well, showing they have lost little over the years. I felt Debbie Harry struggled a bit with her voice. I find this unsurprising given her singing style would wear out a voice in a hurry. That said she and the band put on a great show and although she couldn't belt out the tunes for the whole night non-stop she did manage to belt out a lot and found ways to give her voice short rests so she could preserve it and belt out another song a couple of minutes later. Glad to have gone and seen all 3 bands. DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ochremoon Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I just bought tickets to see Robert Plant and his new band in Launceston, April 5th. Tickets went on sale today - should be a good one. We don't get many artists down here and so seeing a major name gig usually involves huge expense. Looks like he's only playing in Sydney, Melbourne and Launceston, for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownemi Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Had a bit of concert fever lately. Last Thursday saw Blondie, Stranglers and Machinations. Friday served up Simple Minds, Devo and The Church. Sunday, was the Wiggles farewell and man the mosh pit was goin' orf! All ironic really. The Wiggles (point of clarification here, I have a 3.5 year old) was the only original headlining act and they were retiring to greener pastors except one wiggle. Blondie had one original member other than Debbie who was great for a 67 year old, Simple Minds had two originals being Jim and guitarist dude. Support acts faired better, stranglers only 1 original, Devo all original, Machinations and the church similarly. Whilst it is great to reminisce and see these old bands, nostalgia is lacking a little when you see the other non originals band members (usually 20 years younger) looking out of place and in some cases trying too hard to replicate their predecessors. Nonetheless Devo, Machinations, church and Simple minds were awesome. Devo had by far the best stage show and showmanship with some wicked beats going. Not bad for a bunch of 50 plus year old spud boys from Idaho. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEN MISTER Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Probably a bit obscure for most, but a hero of mine, Stan Ridgway, will be doing a show at the Corner Hotel, and a possible second show at The Caravan Club, both in late May. Stan is bringing his own band. ZM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
