December 8th - Meredith Music Festival

i wish a.c.newman would do a solo show...

CEL-A-BRATE GOOD TIMES, COME ON!!

bow-bow bow-bowp bowp, bowp bowp bow...woo hoo!

do-do dooo do do do do do-do. bing bong bleep!!

So pumped!

Sucks about the lack of Bejar, though. But Neko more than makes up for his absense. swoons

Awesomes. TOUR DATES ALREADY.

Neko Case tour dates?

gah, neko had better do a tour too

god damn. i thought this thread would have actual information for me to get excited about.

hope meredith is a exclusive.

why would you say such a thing, anon?

cos im seeing them then?

..and im just being annoying on a thread which was created with no real point.

The point was to try and get anyone with info to spill haha.

*FAILS*

all you've done is raise hopes, and then dashed them, in the space of seconds!

RUINER OF DAYS!

BE PATIENT SUCKAZ

According to the Prince ad in Beat/Inpress today the New Pornographers will be playing there on Wednesday 13/12. No details on their website yet...

so neko is defo coming here for this??

Fucking brilliant.

I had a feeling they'd be playing the Prince.

Yes, Jose.

Wouldn't you go see AC do his thing alone if she wasn't?

I seem to remember you once saying "AC Newman could take a shit in my ear and it would sound good"

Looking forward to finally seeing these guys on Thurs.

Do they have a national support? Seeing them tonight. Can't wait!

very very much looking forward to the EBC show this week. Piking from seeing them with you at the Gaelic was stupid of me whatwhat.

Also - I'm going to see Dungunda Street Sounds at Fed Square earlier that evening - AWESOME act from Ramingining, Arnhem Land. Anyone else up for the double gig shuffle?

You live, you learn, lipsy.

Great show at the Hi Fi. So many smiling faces in the crowd, like everyone was on some kind of wonderful drug.

bigdaddykane: Setlist, anyone?

something like this:

spanish techno
divine right
what turns up in the dark
that neko song with whistling
all the old showstoppers
the laws have changed
my rights vs yours
these are the fables
twin cinema
testament to youth in verse
sweet talk, sweet talk
the body says no
the jessica numbers
boring mid-tempo neko dirge
your hands (together)
mass romantic
moves
use it
bleeding heart show

something else recent which i can't remember
myriad harbor - sung by some mad mofo named andrew from the audience who nailed it!

the slow descent into alcoholism

The one before myriad harbour was 'challengers'.

bergholt! you going to EBC show too?

boring mid-tempo neko dirge

!??

Teensy-weensy bit disappointing, if I was being honest.

nah sharpie, will be at the worker's club instead for oscar and martin.

as for my editorial commentary, i like very few of the new pornographers songs with neko singing, i think because they get too wussy and slow. letter from an occupant is the only one i can remember that i like. i only like the pornos when they go hard and fast.

looks like an early start according to the EBC website - they hit the stage at 9.10pm

If anyone has a cheap(er) ticket to the EBC show let me know. Keen to go again, but not 'full price' keen.

Can't believe i'm going to see Harry potter instead of this.

Kathryn Calder > Hermoine

Can't believe i'm going to see Harry potter instead of this.

Time to man up, Blake.

It's a good reason not to spend $55. That's about it.

This was really good! There were a few sound difficulties to start off with but once sorted it was fantastic. I have a medley going in my head, loved it!

Neko's hair looked quite damaged and dried. She should use some leave in conditioner.

yeah was fun.
the guy next to me singing along loud harmonies and whistling was pretty annoying. i s'pose it wasn't too bad – at least he was in tune

That was very excellent. 'Jackie dressed in cobras' and 'Letter from an occupant' sounded incredible.
