Sweet, assuming the Glasshouse is different to the Cambridge. Cambridge was a bit of a shambles last year unfortunately.
The philosophy of size one looks well interesting. Especially with Phil on board!
Oh wait, the Glasshouse is the Cambridge. Well, I hope people be quiet this year!
Vegan pancakes as well with Phil panel.
And free!
mount eerie tour? i think i'm a little out of some loop here.
I have Supergrass the night before. Quick drive Sat morning I wonder?
good work sceaux.
friday night is usually when they have the 'bands' while saturday night is for the sound summit but sceaux or runout might know more about that.
also there are bands on sunday for the zine fair in civic park being organised by alpsofmessandnoise including songs and castings.
it should be a rad weekend, although i always seem to miss it or large chunks of it. but binary, you definitely should come up.
here are the bands playing the zine fair...
this gonna be the sauce.
whoo
I need to organise myself and try and do a weekend thing. And find somebody to come along with me.
Are hotels normally booked out quickly for this?
Friday night's the real kicker of a gig, but I won't be able to make it.
Might come up early Sat, shines. I'll let you know.
Hotels do get busy - best to book in advance.
There's also camping
The Ibis is central to everything (smack in the middle of the Cambridge and the festival bar). Best be careful with the newly enforced 2am lockout though.
um, worse... it's a 1am lockout...
so bummed i'm gonna miss this year.
hope it goes amaaaaazing eli x
so if i get the 2 day sound summit pass is that all i need to buy? all the other events are pretty much free?
THIS IS NOT pART of the tina festival

$2 Entry!!!
Yup - most events free. Some gigs have costs. Like the TINA gigs.
how much are the mt eerie pancakes?
FREE!
chef'd by me
they'll be awesome
may be byo maple syrup though.
i wonder if he could get mirah to make us some?
the TINA gig i'm putting on is free to come to. you should probably throw spare change at the bands though.
and you have to get out of bed and be there by 12 midday. it goes til 5.
songs + castings + dead farmers + the garbage and the flowers + the alzheimer blanks + the bowles + brassskulls.
brassskulls, castings and the alzhiemer blanks are the best newcastle bands we have. probably the only local bands on the festival program too.
promises to be an awesome weekend. kk null.
strange that hey.... a festival in newcastle and no newcastle bands on the main event nights...
this'll be the shit!! lots more newcastle based bands and other weirdos
That's gonna be awesome. It's a shame Castings aren't involved in any of the 'official' proceedings.
not really a shame mate...
Nothing doing at the Lass O'Gowrie?
nah sgh.. the hamos the replacement by others.
the 'this is not part, of the tina festival' shows provide on of the most interesting aprts of the weekend. it's a shame that the tina people shun themselves from whats actually happening in newcastle. however, it might be a good thing.
Hey haters, TINA is a national festival that looks at ideas, ideals and passions throughout all areas of independent, emerging and experimental arts. I think its amazing it exists, and that the form allows for so much diversity, not just one small creative sector of one geographical area of the country.
i'm not sure that they're really haters sceaux. Events like TINA aren't going to be able to make everyone happy but we're all better off with it than without it. the kids have done a good job taking things into their own hands and putting some shows on anyway.
now all they need to do is put on some extra shows around whatever town is selected for ATP....
I've just realised that I will now be away for this! Although I may be able to make it to the zine fair if I'm not too jetlagged..
How long is the train ride from syd to newcastle?
about 3hr?
yeah - 2.5 - 3 hours
haters?
you try being ignored for nine years (what are we lepers?) after all of our hard work, i had hoped that all of the us may be a little more appreciated or respected...and by all of us, i mean the COUNTLESS artists here in newcastle. THE CITY WHERE THE FESTIVAL ORIGINATES AND RESIDES. it IS a part of the city. why are locals so ignored by TINA?
and why is that all the local hardcore and bands (a) mostly shite.
and (b) endorse and encourage the local kids to only be interested in THEM?
i have lost count of the amount of times an interstate or overseas band has played to 10 people (who the fuck walks out on CRUX, PISSCHRIST, SEVERED HEAD OF STATE, ABC WEAPONS, RYOKUCHI, AMPERE, BRAIN RESIN etc...
everyone - even the local bands themselves sometimes, leaves watching their friends and only their friends?
the TINA people and the local artists need to communicate more - not just six weeks before the festival is due to begin.
the above shit is an example of bad communication and bad vibes...that are perpetuated continually. can't we do more than just bitch and moan and look after our own?
discuss.
oh necktie, causing a ruckus once again. but i agree, i've termed that ''the newcastle effect''. it sucks.
SOOKS. NEWCASTLE IS AWESOME.
elise&jem are not playing at this. I dunno who said we were. No one asked us!
We need a 3 person tent for TINA.
Any oh so nice chats in the Sydney area that can help spare a large tent will be plied with beers in appreciation.
everything is booked :-(
FOUR DAYS
blogging here
nice collection of videos there sceaux
Hey if you were thinking of coming but were worried about where you'd stay then... why not camp??
AUNTY JENNY'S TENT CITY CAMPGROUND
This Is Not Art has set up a temporary Campground to provide festival goers with the cheapest accommodation option for the festival - $10 per person per night, open on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
So, if you were unsure whether you could afford to stay for the whole five days - we've just answered your question! Other budget accommodation options in Newcastle usually book out over the festival period – but you can guarantee yourself a place to sleep by booking into Tent City – there is room for up to 500 people.
nice work aunty jenny
silence.
a response to the/my/our above dilemma is needed from TINA i feel.
thanks for your time.
tsk tsk.
TINA is a festival that promotes DIY culture - people program events that are relevant to the communities they represent and if you feel like you're being ignored why not pull together a festival that's either a part or not a part of TINA and do it for yourself instead of idly whinging on a message board? If you feel there needs to be more communication between ''the TINA people'' and Novocastrians then why not initiate it?
PS this started yesterday and is going way great.
