Hey there, anyone know anything about this 'festival' that is apparently happening in Sydney on the weekend? Ghosts of Television are playing but they have no other actual useful information on the site. Please advise. thanks

I understand them keeping it all under wraps.. it was canceled at the last minute last year ay.. at that Aviary House on the south end of King St...

It really is a lot like the sun, this festy. Hard to find, not certain whether it will actually even happen...

bump


polaroidsofandroids  said about 8 months ago:

bump.. cause this looks awesome


celluloid hero  said about 8 months ago:

saturday


TransientRandom  said about 8 months ago:

Apparently they're ''Filtering'' attendees at the door. So wear your nice trousers and have a line ready, like ''I know Dave''.

I know they're having problems, but REALLY..


shaun  said about 8 months ago:

is it a house or warehouse thing? i'm pretty sure i haven't been to this address before


TransientRandom  said about 8 months ago:

Assuming a warehouse... I hear Regular John's manager owns one or summink? But then again, I really don't know anything about this gig at all!

celluloid hero  said about 8 months ago:

awesome..


TransientRandom  said about 8 months ago:

It was a private party, right?

So why were the cops allowed in?

Anyway, that sniffer dog was dumb.


kabukiboy  said about 8 months ago:

cops can do what they like


TransientRandom  said about 8 months ago:

What's a warrant then?


shaun  said about 8 months ago:

they didn't enter the building.


TransientRandom  said about 8 months ago:

Ah, yeahhhtheydid.


shaun  said about 8 months ago:

did they? i was standing near the entry when they came with the dogs, they kinda hesitated at the door and didn't go in. that must have been later


iamthewalrus  said about 8 months ago:

a couple of police did enter fairly late into it. i think that was when it all died off.


TransientRandom  said about 8 months ago:

Nah, they were in when the bands were still playing, on more than one occasion. During Ghosts' set for sure, cause I remember making a lame arse joke about it, which I'm sure was really excellent, and which I'm incredibly bummed I can't remember.

I hope they saw the Laurels. I'd love to play a cop xmas party or similar one day.


shaun  said about 8 months ago:

you guys were awesome Transient!

i wanted to post some fancy photos but i'm a shit photographer. next time


shaun  said about 8 months ago:

you guys were awesome Transient! I would post some photos but the ones I took are terrible. maybe next time


shaun  said about 8 months ago:

oh dear, this website is confusing me


TransientRandom  said about 8 months ago:

Aw, cheers shaun. Photography would just embarass both of us...


TransientRandom  said about 8 months ago:

ARGH! DISAPPEARING POSTS!

Where am I?


TransientRandom  said about 8 months ago:

STUPID ETHER!!


kabukiboy  said about 8 months ago:

TransientRandom said 34 minutes ago: What's a warrant then?

a legal thing - cops will still do what they want


aloha  said about 8 months ago:

i don't think they needed a warrant. there was a ranked inspector there, doesn't seem like they just stumbled across it.

i got some photos of the laurels but they're pretty average.


kabukiboy  said about 8 months ago:

hmm - you think they knew ahead of time? that kinda sucks - they should have better things to do! someone needs to cause some real crime in this city!


andyr  said about 8 months ago:

I wonder if they have an officer whose job it is to scan MySpace and message boards like this trying to get information on underground gigs.

That would make for an awesome article.

DEAR OFFICER IN CHARGE OF ROCK, please email me!


andyr  said about 8 months ago:

I wonder if instead of an eagle or whatever, their badge has a picture of AC/DC with a big red circle and a cross through it.
