Flip Out First Announcement
News posted Tuesday, June 9 2009 at 12:00 AM.
Related: Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Naked On The Vague, Ooga Boogas, UV Race, Slug Guts, Flip Out.
One of our favourite events of last year – no, not Melbourne’s Laneway – is returning in 2009. And for the first time, it’ll be held in two states.
Run by Stained Circles and Aarght! Records, day-long festival Flip Out will make its Sydney bow at the Manning Bar on August 29. It will be followed by a Melbourne leg at the Corner Hotel – the site of the first Flip Out – on September 5.
Organisers have also announced the first round of acts with Brisbane’s Slug Guts, as well Pink Reason and James Arthur’s Manhunt from the US performing in both states. Eddy Current Suppression Ring, The UV Race and Royal Headache will augment the Sydney line-up, while Melbourne gets the Ooga Boogas, Naked on the Vague and The Disbelievers. More acts to be confirmed.
Tickets for both events on sale June 12.

UV RACE IN SYDNEY!
im already going to be in melbourne that weekend, GOOD TIMES.
What's the Manning Bar like? Big?
Bigger than the corner.
I second this request.
and about a 10 minute walk from my place.
negative nancies.
Seriously, it'll suck without the Ooga Boogas. That's my prediction.
''How was the Flip Out Festival at the Manning Bar?''
''It was okay''
''Only okay?''
''Yeah, it kinda sucked without the Ooga Boogas''
''Hmmm, yeah, it would have''
This is an example of the disappointed dialogue that will be heard.
I'll negative nancy you, pesky kids...
I'm still going to attend.
It'll still be good without them. For some reason I was counting on them being on the line-up though cause they haven't been to Sydney yet (or have they?)
pfft, its got ecsr and uv race!
the sydney leg of flip out will suck.
Regardless, it's cut down a bit from last year's 11 bands...assume there are more announcements to come, ubu?
shared band members can't play twice in one night, they're only human! and sydney may need the ecsr stamp to help drive sales because there's not enough funny haircuts or ironic leather jackets in the bands listed.
that's what the article says.
Only 'cause of Sydney.
Pfft, who reads the articles here, shaun?
the ''the sydney leg of flip out will suck.'' comment was in reference to lucyd's ob comment.

Haha, I listened to the abc last night.
I noticed a particular American band's MySpace indicating they would be here for this (and another EIGHT Melbourne shows). Unfortunately they're not that great though ;)
'fess up blake3030.
ah never mind, i figured it out.
Jeez, that is a very busy couple a weeks.
That's not very nice Phil.
whoizit!
wow, hall and oates!
truly the king of festivals.
Tickets are on sale for the Manning Bar show at Repressed Records. 356 King Street, Newtown. We also have records available by Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Naked On The Vague, Pink Reason and Ooga Boogas incase you want to learn all the words in time for the show.
woohoo!
what's the damage on the tix?
$44.50 including the booking fee etc. We're a Oztix outlet now so we can also do tickets for that festival in Gosford with Gza and Eskimo Joe.
Hahahahaha, oh man, I still can't believe he is playing that shit.
It could be worse
This guy rools:
rools the skool of fools and tools
Holy shit, I just check his MySpace.
Describes himself as a combined DJ/Trumpeter.
He basically plays the melodies of popular techno songs on trumpet to a backing track.
FLIP OUT, GET HIS GUY NOW!!! Before he becomes too big.
He looks awesome. Sadly, the sound on my computer is fucked, so I don't know whether he sounds awesome too.
I´ve got nothing against garage rock, I just thought that the real hero in Revenge of the Nerds was Ogre.
Hey Jones - this Baking Soda is killer!
Tickets for Sydney all purchased!
sydney here we come. awesome.
