An all aussie music festival in Melb!

Azza  said about 3 years ago  or at  9:22PM on Monday, January 12 2009 in events

Hey Guys,

I just got told about a new 3 day music festival in Melb in September!! One of my mates bands just got booked it sounds cool as. He says they aren't taking bands that do every aussie music festival ( Cut Copy,living end, The presets ). He wouldn't tell me what bands are booked but he says tickets are like $120 and the guys running it are just a group of young guys who love music and don't care about the money.

Anyone know anything more

hiponion  said about 3 years ago:

if i was running a music festival and didn't care about money i'd call it the 'laneway festival'

hiponion  said about 3 years ago:

Hey Azza,
Why not ask your mate? He's been booked for it.

$10 says Azza doesn't last as long as slipdig


Ghostface  said about 3 years ago:

I hope Muscles and Ben Lee play


anonymous  said about 3 years ago:

i'd just bring over the bloodhound gang and have them play the good songs in their catalogue in reverse chronological order over 25 minutes.

BEAT THAT.


hiponion  said about 3 years ago:

okay

i'd have pearl jam come over and play their complete discography (including live shows) in alphabetical order over 3 weeks


Sir Jock Stirrup  said about 3 years ago:

i'd get everyone to strip naked and fuck


elaine  said about 3 years ago:

of course you would.

I think it would be AWESOME if John Butler played with the waifs and gabriella cilmi can do backing vocals. yeah.


anonymous  said about 3 years ago:

i'd get freaked out flower children to play the one song that wasn't really a hit non stop for 48 hours while the audience is strapped into their chairs with eyes and ears forced open.

Timewaster's got the figure wrong though.

Attention: Azza.

.........

Azza, do some research. Look at Global Gathering, The Hot Barbeque, the Climate Change festival. These events all recently stiffed and they were IN THE CITY!

And your festival is in the bloody bush!

Good luck. I hope you're not gonna be owing $300 000 to the bank.


spaceman1  said about 2 years ago:

So what, the figure was off. Either way its a shitload more money than they can afford to repay.

Anyway, I think it serves them for having terrible taste.


spaceman1  said about 2 years ago:

serves them right, even.


tugboat  said about 2 years ago:

Spaceman1, I guess you haven't read the whole thing.

He basically PREDICTED the whole thing. Almost 100%!


celluloid hero  said about 2 years ago:

fucken amazing thread


team ham sandwich  said about 2 years ago:

I reckon I saw Azza walking down chapel st in size XL running attire on the weekend.


sting-bono  said about 2 years ago:

HOLY FUCKOLY! that article is terrible, reading over this thread i can't believe they still did it. eeek.


Inspect  said about 2 years ago:

Just read this cover to cover. Timewaster comes off as a genius, and a bunch of peeps have egg all over their faces... A friend of mine went as a volunteer and said it was a good time but damn those dudes are fucked for life


astrousersasmind  said about 2 years ago:

This thread is absolute gold. I love how even a few months before the festival he's asking for band suggestions. Doesn't ever sound like it was actually about the music or the bands he mentions in the first paragraph. Wonder what the motivation was. Rich kids trying to get richer?


Nathanjones  said about 2 years ago:

Poor Azza.

tigers said about 10 months ago:

not my point.
do what you wanna do, but if you are a retard and do it retardedly then shit will fuck up and you will be even more retarded than before.
fuck up.

Sums the entire situation up perfectly.


suey+saints  said about 2 years ago:

gold.


crackwhore  said about 2 years ago:

nah, bronze.


toadphoney  said about 10 months ago:

Tramdriver  said about 10 months ago:

Yeah if only they told their investors that.


denialdemonicdisrup  said about 9 months ago:

The best part is looking at everyone trying to shoot down timewaster's useful advice. lulz
