Ok, what I want here is your opinion, no arguing about someone else's opinion, if you do it will be edited or deleted. You can still comment on my review though.
yeah I was gutted I didn't arrange for our normal sound guy to do engineering for ejector, the guy doing it was making a serious hash job, quite embarrasing, and with some major technical difficulties..but i reckon the boys came out on top, and after playing some mellower songs while people were in summer cruise mode, they stepped it up a notch a had some punks going hard in the pit. Have to agree about paselode, they sounded wicked.. i don't think some of the kids quite understood how fucken good they were, but they will. I missed Augustino as i was packing away gear, blindspott suffered from the crowd blocking the speakers and having no bottom end. The guys from ejector have got a great response from people who came to see them saying they went off...I'd love to hear from some people who have never heard of ejector and what they thought.
Big up's to paselode for modeling some of the ejector shirts.
Ejector were good, i dont think it was that obvious that there were any technical problems, it sounded all good! diffently a band on the rise!
Made 2 Rock!
All the other bands were all good aswell, Blindspott went off, the mosh pitt was crazy! have two bruisers to prove it!
I have 2 say i liked Ejector the best tho! Rock On
Yeah.. Ejector were ace... I dont have an ear for wrong technical stuff so i thought it sounded good...
I didn't see/hear much of Paseload but they sounded okay... Augustino rawked.. altho i only really watched them when there was a song i knew.. but they all sounded kinda familiar so that was cool...
Blindspott were awesome... once again with the not hearing the technical stuff.. but i'm glad i wasn't in that mosh.. Ugh...
I reckon it was better than the first bands, but i know that was due to the weather...
yesterday was great...
But yeah.. i liked Ejector the best too..
what a great day in the sun for wellington, and lets thank the lord for britney spears for showing 14 yr old girls how they should dress in the name of abstinence (bloody!).
a good sound is always gonna be hard to get a good mix outdoors, we were just lucky that we had mix master mike gibson on the dials for us. ejector were choice, they've come along way over the last six months even though i tried to sabotage their set by buying a 40 of kristov on friday night for matt (p.a climber) and him drinking the whole thing without mixer. they still rocked and made us wonder if it was just all their school friends in the pit for them or if it was actually cause they're a thundering freight train of rock 'n' stinkin' roll.
seriously now, in my honest opinion i reckon that paselode were the best (am i allowed to say that?) and everyone should download our mp3s and play them all day everyday and come to everyone of our gigs. a bit of crowd familiarty was the only thing that ejector and ourselves had against us compared to our auckland counterparts (who were both great in their own special ways).
anyway, cheers again stefan for the friendly words - and by the way we never stuff up our songs live, what hell were you on??

I would like to thank god for putting on an overall awesome sunny day, I thought all they bands played pretty well although they weren't all my style and taste everyone there seem to have a pretty good time which was the whole point. Besides it was free its hard to find something wrong when its free, heheh.
As for stefan he was high as a kite being the druggie that he is, just kidding
I thought Nik (ejector singer) looks like Tim Wheeler from Ash after Pip(at the package) suggested in a review awhile ago.
Anyway i had fun climbing the stack (i think) and would love to play bands in the square again but hopefully we will have a single on Channel Z to back us up and rake in a few more people.
yullo... blink, (cut & pasted my missin' the show) 'fraid to say no mayte. and am a bit embarressed to mention it too, free and on a such a beautiful capital day, with practically no wind... excuuzeless really but i got away with a primo week-end.
rather interested in hearing what went on... i'm remembering a bands in the square back in 1997? (five years???) saw head like a hole with 'em funky styles...
i felt sorry 'bout the audience's afters, so i helped the channel z crew with a bit of clean up duty... one worker was nice enough to thank me, asking me what i was in town for (tool's aenema tour) couple of weeks later she sent me a package of goodies, earning myself an aenema tape, cool 'z t-shirt - work shirt - for a seeming lazy nothing. mean as...
wondering how the christchurch one love concert turn out was like too... any canters' around to fill in the dirt? glorious number of summer outdoors and zero cost to boot... gotta feel for that.
"see now aren't stills more satisfying then video?"
never ever ever ;)
"I will always be doing creative things. I want to get into motion and sound because I believe that video is still the strongest medium. I have seen movies and music video clips which have made me cry. A web site hasn't come close and CD-ROM's are even worse as they tend to be strange and just confuse. The world of interactive design? We will all be working in television."

cheers for letting me scam in on your space blink ;)
'/see now aren't stills more satisfying then video?'
tough call. Movies allow me to experience the beauty of a thousand different lives and photography reveals to me the beauty of the day to day I live in. I honestly couldn't limit myself to only one of them.
yeah, i didn't mean to start a film vs vid debate, i am torn between the two, as you know i have been dabbling in music video production lately, and i am loving it, but i have never seen live footage from a gig, classic or recent that has come close to the classic live photographs from rollingstone etc. I have probably a personal colection of close to 5000 hours of music vids, but none of which make me go ga-ga at as much as a photo which truly captures a moment in time/ a photo which captures the feeling,excitement and energy of a concert.
When ever i shoot video i constantly curse, when i think "fuck..that would have made a great photo"..when i am shooting stills, i'm always thinking "fuck, that would make nice vid footage".
And NO i will not tolerate digital stills.
like teina i could not limit myself to one of them.
please dust/teina/nzm crew....what music vids spring to mind that you think are the most visually powerful
//yeah, i didn't mean to start a film vs vid debate
neither - i just thought justins comments expressed my POV in recent times in a good way. perhaps i intend this as a true and valuable tip (from our experience) for anyone reading.
//please dust/teina/nzm crew....what music vids spring to mind that you think are the most visually powerful
i'd love to try to answer this - are you serious? hmmm, am i qualified to answer this intelligently? it's an important question in my opinion - and a great topic to be discussed on this site. do you mean visually = excluding music/style/trends/genre/personal tastes etc etc... and PURELY judging visual aesthetics?
yeah it would be cool to start a seperate forum on it, but i'd have to be really harsh on the requirements.
// do you mean visually = excluding music/style/trends/genre/personal tastes etc etc... and PURELY judging visual aesthetics?
exactly.
if it's a britney vid, hey that's cool.
I want to know the vid that did it for you. I got into band photography because of Anton Corbjin's photos of U2 from the joshua tree era. those photos inspired me, since there have been many others.
What video/s do you think truly elevates the music video to an artform, could be put in an art gallery. transcends just wank band promotion or self indulgence and captures something timeless.
have i set a tough enough challenge. I will try to think of a vid that meets as much of this for me.
Best qoute of the day : "if any of you are old enougth we have a show at indigo tonight , come along" Blindspott (evidently few were as most the crowd were thier for Product)
Worst banters of the day : Augestino describing every song they played before playing them.
Worst phenomina of the day : the hordes of Blindspott fans that left after the singles had been played.
best phenomina of the day : SUN
Sound : I didnt catch Ejecter but I thought the sound was pretty good, I remember back to Gamut playing bands in the square and the southerly wiping out 1/2 the drum kit, and the PA being so small you couldnt hear when it gusted.
It seemed to be the most populated Bands in the square since the aforementioned HLAH one. At least of the ones I have attended.
conclusion : nice day, interesting bands, made me feel VERY OLD. haha then again maybe I am.
Hmmmm. Hordes of Blindspott fans leaving after the singles played? Bro... more like a couple of Blindspott fans having to take a moment to regroup after over-doing the moshing. Those kids went HARD. As you say - feeling VERY OLD watching that shit go down.
Ejector were my fave of the day, I'd be keen to hear more of them. But I was quite happy to listen to all four bands - couldn't say that about every Bands in the Square that I've been to... We were incredibly lucky with the weather and it was just a really nice day out. Thanks to Channel Z, even if I can't really stand listening to the station these days :)
