pit out = pig out?

where is it?
what date?

sydney, think it was anzac day last year?

BOOOO...... i wanna melbs please.

I think it's also in melbs this year

not to my knowledge Relips.

i'm now going to back out of this thread now until the official presser has gone out

oh... I heard talk of it a couple of months ago - may have fallen through though...

yawns.. not my cup of tea that lineup.. good bands amongst it, but absolutely nothing fresh, exciting..

radness. can not wait for this festival. i love little indie band festivals. they make me happy.

so, anzac day, right? april 25 or thereabouts?

myspace page

good to see some fresh new talent click

i'm now going to back out of this thread now until the official presser has gone out

The info is in Drum Media, so maybe you didn't get it....

al - have you seen all those bands?

pretty similar lineup to last year..

Last year:

The Essential Festival hosts an outstanding final line up of: DECODER RING, DAPPLED CITIES FLY, MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS, RED SUN BAND,THE DEVOTED FEW, FURTHER, THE LOVETONES, THE VALENTINOS, BELLES WILL RING, ANDY CLOCKWISE.

Empra, they tell me nothing.

yeah thats what i meant nice fresh talent you know sarcasm etc

there's only three bands the same....

i know, but still.............. this goes for any event festival, same old bands same old crowd same old shit house music scene. :) Thank you very much its tuesday and im angry at life.........

sook

Who else would you put on there, Cleve? Besides The Winters of course ;)

And I'm only asking out of curiousity, it's not a loaded question.

as far as local line-ups go, there are some damn nice names on there i would have thought.

same night as drones, and eagles of death metal, and frenzal and probably a few other things.

I sense stretched crowds.

Six names I'd like to see. I guess that's already better than the last few homebakes combined. I'm just greedy.

Who would you add Tinyman from Sydney? I'm hoping a second announcement has Philedelphia Grand jury and maybe a few harder bands on it.

if i was in charge things wound be quite different. no one would go, for one. i'd like to see Qua, and never seen the live Terminal Sound System. Really like Underlapper and Touch Typist. and for popularity sake, something people may actually like, bring back I Heart Hiroshima for another show. they were my favourite the last essential festival i saw.

:(

cursed mid semester examinations

Frenzal are on the 23rd not the 25th

i don't know half these bands. which ones are worth checking out? in a perfect world i'd check them all out. but i can't. so.

check out Atrocities.

Made in Japan are quite good too.

Frenzal @ Newcastle is on the same night.

Argh, Moshtix is sold out and I can't seem to buy one through M+N's ticketing system, it just keeps giving me a blank screen when I try to checkout. I'll email support :)

I just had a look then and it seemed to be working fine Wonky?

It hasn't sold out Wonky .

Dunno, tried it earlier and couldn't get one through moshtix, it was saying ''tickets unavailable'' just tried again and it worked no probs.

I'll be there shooting everything with my camera so put your smiles/chat face on.

don't do that thing where you twist the flash back towards the crowd while taking photos of the stage. it's bloody annoying. don't have flash at all. pin hole camera!

There will be girls there, all dolled up in dresses and make-up, trying to get some of this action, and some dudes doing the same thing also...the music is basically just an excuse to be seen and get some...if you want to hear real music, get off oxford st you posers

Sorry to those involved but this looks so shit.
