//HAMILTON - Thurdsday 16th, Sohl Bar with Dialtones and New Caledonia - 9pm
I assume the Dialtones you speak of aren't Christchurch's "Dialtones" who have been around for ages.
the dialtones that are playing with ...
the dialtones that are playing with Batrider are an offshoot with the guys from This Night Creeps. Meant to be amazing, but i havent seen them yet. Dont know a whole lot about chch's dialtones, but i would bet there are more than a couple of bands around with that name.
Ahhh the old "you stole my band name" debate
there is a band from avon lake, ohio ...
there is a band from avon lake, ohio called the dialtones too. the following taken from www.myspace.com/thedialtones - lookout!
We are a garage rock band from Avon Lake...honestly we have yet to have a gig (but will be getting one Jan. 7th @ Peabody's down under) We will have the details on this gig soon!We are all only 15 and hope to have a future in the music business
and there is another dialtones from ...
and there is another dialtones from California with the same name that have had a whopping great 359 page views at www.myspace.com/dialtones
haha, yeah, I think the name debate is ...
haha, yeah, I think the name debate is a bit more relevant when its within the same country though...and though I am very interesteded to see what hamiltons Dialtones are like, it reeks of Northeners not paying attention to what is happening in the South Island, when there has been a band using that name there for a fair while.
though, the same thing could be said for the Auckland vs Dunedin "Gladeyes".
haha. Maybe its time for me to finish that feature i started on choosing a band name.
but...i don't mean to sidetrack from ...
but...i don't mean to sidetrack from what is a celebration of a great tour.
Looking forward to the wellington show. ace!

aside from over a decade in the game, the chch dialtones released an album a while back on all plastic records

shit really is there two gladeyes from ...
shit really is there two gladeyes from nz? which is the one that came to australia a few months ago?
it was the Dunedin Gladeyes who came to ...
it was the Dunedin Gladeyes who came to OZ. They are kinda alternative pop/rock. Aucklands Gladeyes have a more sweet indie pop vibe, almost a lil' chief kinda sound (but that may just be cause Johanthan Bree helped on the recordings I've heard). Both have been around for a similar length of time, and in this case I think it was the Southerners who were first again.
it seems the aucklanders were first (of course) on myspace though: www.myspace.com/thegladeyes
Dunedins band: www.myspace.com/thegladeyesband
though the Dunedin band were the first to get "thegladeyes.com"
and so the battle rages... ;)
same thing happened with Kitset years back...there was a Kitset in Dunedin when a Kitset in AKL formed.
those bloody northeners eh?!
//Kitset in Dunedin when a Kitset in ...

shit, now I've no idea if I half-heard the same band twice, or two different bands... which one's the Sifty Chris one?

//Wasn't that the same band? Kitset moved to Auckland.
nah, haha. Aucklands Kitset became Fang. The problem was realised when both bands applied to play the same music festival.

I was kinda picturing a performance art/audience participation noise type thing where everyone rings each other up at once.
Man I haven't been on this site for a while... first thing I see when I load it up is someone telling me I've ben shot... welcome back
But yeah.... Tour! I'm excited... will be fun

I've got to say, I fucking love these little army games, thogh the marketing concept is pretty terrifying : "You like war games. Cool! You know who else likes war games? The army. You should totally join up! It'd be like counter-strike - for real!!"
have you noticed that little sniper guy ...
have you noticed that little sniper guy can pretty much take out everyone on his own. try strafing him across the whole screen, he just blasts all the baddies. its like hes holding a super lazer death ray or some shit. if i was going to war, i'd want one of those guns for sure.
//try strafing him across the whole ...

why dont you drop the article on bands that cant think of their own name, and do an article on the psychology behind bands thinking they are so royal, they can proclaim who does and doesnt play on their 'turf'. you could start with that muppet at edens that fateful night...

you can just imagine ben lee sitting around thinking about a name for that album.
"peace is the new war? nope too controversial... what about Blind is the new deaf? nope too trippy, what about Carrots are the new Peas?" and then screwing up paper after paper until he rose from his writers block and had an epiphany. "AWAKE IS THE NEW SLEEP!!!!"

and who knows, maybe they are right, and gangs of thugs will accost the band outside their first gig, and the thugs will hiss into their ears
'(insert high profile musicians name here) TOLD you losers, never in his town, never again'.
