GO PETE

There be lots of good names in that list, how excitement.

nakedape for the golden wami!!!

upsetting that Ben Franz isn't in the best bassist or producer categories

Streetlight and Sugar Army are great

what a load. so predictable, almost the same shit every year. out of all those bands, there are a handful of 'interesting' ones: cease, kill devil hills, 11th, abbe may and snowman. shit like eskimo joe, gyroscope, birds of tokyo, little birdy, bank holidays, red jezebel - puhhleease! what the fuck is wrong with this city! support mediocrity! go wam!

what happened to red jezebel's deal with warners?

That has some pretty good names all over it.

Good lord, I think I was at one of Red Jezebel's earliest gigs. It was at the Grosvenor, almost ten years ago.

what about streetlight and schvendes Mr?

ms caravan: they played in the murdoch campus band comp in '97, if that helps

what about streetlight and schvendes Mr?

i dont see schvendes in the list. streetlight are in the same basket as sugar army - no one over the age of 30 will listen to them.
and what the fuck are the panics doing in there? they have been living in melbourne for the last couple of years.

well, they must be shit if no one over the age of 30 listens to them... they are the modern day tastemakers in this world.

there are multiple members of schvendes nominated in there.

I think its quite a healthy list. Lets hope Abbe May wins best newcomer, because she is a fucking A-class act.

this is hilarious.

why is it always steph and marc's bands that win?

as far as i'm aware, the harlequin league are the only band that steph and marc are involved with that won anything.

every award ceremony is corrupt. it helps bands if they're a nominee or winner, it adds another line to their bio or press release.

About time there was some biff in this thread. Was far too much of a love-in.

Now, who got drunk on the night and smashed someone in the face/slept with someone they weren't supposed to?

Fewer lists of winners, more gossip please.

Well I am sure Steph and Marc woulkd find it hilarious if they saw some of these comments. Especially the ''t appears that if you want to get anywhere in Perth you have to have those two managing you. If you don't, you may as well give up now. It's sad seeing awesome bands coming out of that city yet not getting anywhere'' part.

Imagine if those two actually read this thread.......what would they say?

''this is a disgrace''

oi, like tbb said nakedape - where's the sex / foight foight foight goss?? (preferably both involving the same people, please)

i heard the bass player from the panics gave that singer douche from birds of tokyo a BJ in the toilets.

sorry what what I don't talk to anyone outside my office. Although Mr Mister could be on the money you never know. There was a rumor about Alex from the Hills and Claire Clarke......

oohhhh Perthonality Alert!

BAHAHAHAHA!

and also -

ewwwwwwww.......

that clarke bitch better keep her hands off mah man!

what kinda outcome would make you happy teenhand?

spacedocking?

schnoodling?

spaceschnoodling?

SPACEDOCKING!

Yes, there is a limit to how much of this should be done in any given period of time...

who is claire clarke? i saw a clip of hers on the wami video hits special yesterday, i don't think i've ever seen her play at a gig or listed on another gig.

she played with Vanessa Amorosi on Sat man, keep your finger on the pulse!

yeah i googled her and now my head is shaking. i'm surprised she even got invited to the wami awards, she must be like a d-list perthonality.

oooooohhhhhhhh you're holding me down and I like it......
