It's been a bumper few weeks for Australian festivals and announcements; we've picked the cream of the crop so as not to leave you hanging! First off, we turn to the latest news from Heatwave Festival over the whole "D12 not showing up" thing...
I’ve been conducting a little survey the past couple of days, and it seems that the wider opinion is that Grinspoon are a better pub act than a larger venue band... and you know what, I freaking agree. I had the mighty pleasure of seeing them perform at Rock Lily (in Star Casino) with Sydney band ‘Strangers’ last Friday night, and it was insane.
Grinspoon and Strangers played to a packed house inside Rock Lily at The Star casino. Jason Klippel brings you these photos.
Tonight's gig seemed to follow a theme of relating back to three sayings that, however clichéd, remain tried and true. The first is “never talk to strangers” - although, this one seems to have been misconstrued as “never watch Strangers.” There are more people on stage than there is watching the band when they plug in at the Prime Possum-friendly time of 7:30pm, but at least they don't let it get to them, persevering with their brand of streetwise, RSL-ready rock. It's not inspiring, but what can be at this hour?
After touring Australia extensively in 2010, Aussie rockers Grinspoon are back on the road continuing their Six to Midnight tour, on a 5 day run through NSW over the Easter long weekend.
Back again for round two at Luna Park, and it seemed that there was a
significant divide between those who were there yesterday and those
exclusively there for the Sunday.
