Yeah peak physique rocked my socks, Armitage seems to be gaining confordence as well - enjoying seeing some shreading solos being implimented!
Looking forward to hearing about your Bid Day Out experiance when you get a free moment to update your journal.
Have fun up north,
Mark
Definatly looking forward to Kora! Ive thrashed the 4 tracks on their volume E.P and now im keen for some more.
Looking forwad to picking up Fat Fredies as well, i know its old news but ive been hideing in Australia the past few months so only now can i get it.
Big Day Out are having a mere this year, First AFI and now Mylo...
As much love as i have for concord dawn i can think of alot of people who will feel short changed by this
Yeah wednesday is definatly slapper night - beats & Bubbles is for more refined lady watching
Well given that only New Zealand bands are entered in this comp i reakon there is a pretty high chance of seeing some local band taking it out ...
Hey boys, been voteing everyday - cant think of a more favourable start to the big day out then an Odessa gig with a tequila breakfast imediatly prior,
When the next wellington gig? book out happy and treat us to some love...
What do you play?
ive got a guitarist/vocalist and a super talented keys player lined up also, we were going to start something along these lines ourselves.......
Im a bassist that likes to mix things up a bit with effects and the sound you described sounds right up my ally.
Ill be over seas until late november but if your still looking then ill be up for a jam.

NIN website shows more american dates after they play birsbane so probaly not, Queens would be anyones guess
Yeah you can.
I highly recomend digitechs products - in my opinion they are cheeper, more solid, and sound better than the boss pedals.
Either that or a hotcake as mentioned above!
How stoked am i!!!
Planning on shoting across the ditch for a month or 2 in august anyway to celibrate the conclusion of my tertiary education, so i had a mate line up this morning for tickets.
Anyone else planning on making the trip? can't have the ausies having all the fun (im still bitter about radiohead)
I wish to agree with the Odessa representation above.
They are going from strength to strength and they are my boys.
There cricket game could do with some work but..............
Im keen as beens but struggling a bit with the $20 on the door. Their live act is superb but my student budget would not allow me food if i went.
Could do with some persuasion....
It wil be a shame to loose the cross, the bar has always been supportive in offering gigs to unknown bands and acting as a launch platform. If the cross goes then alot of stress will be placed on the wellington scene. Valve is great but booked months in advance. Indigo have their rock cradle but are not generally interested in bands than can not provide them with a demo and would usually prefer more established acts. Bodega could pick up some of the slack but have a fairly full bill.
I would imagine that if the cross goes Eastside could stept in. VUWSA are good about giving bands ago and Eastside are not so busy that they couldnt fit in another night or two of live music a week. The P.A is better than the cross had and they generally look after their acts their.
That said it would be sad to see the cross go, it had the shitest P.A in wellington and a tiny stage but is served its pupose
I think its more likely that the monkey left the village, downed a huge feed and then slept for 15 hours
Possibly a dirty synth pedal? can you describe it in more detail? is their a recording of this effect?
"Taken in combination with other drugs, nos has been implicated in the deaths of two young men in car crashes in Christchurch and Nelson."
Wonder if the 'other drugs' where alcohol by chance :-P or if the drivers didnt have a license?
Never used n2o myself so im not directly bothered by this change, i am bothered by polititions using weak evidence in order to gain votes from the closed minded
Go to a health food store and purchase a bottle of "gland nector"
It costs abou $25, takes filthy but i honestly think it sped my recovery up ten fold.
Comes in a blue bottel and you take a tea spoon 3 times daily.
Hope you feel better soon
I was working it as security,
Thought the sound was appauling, my familiy who went felt the same.
There was no guts to it, could hear him clearly and the backup vocals but the rest of the band was just noise, not difined at all.
I acknowledge that it must be hard getting a good sound out of the stadium but for an act as big as him there is little excuse
"recreational drugs don't seem to be banned or embraced on the strength of how tolerable the comedowns are"
Actually in alot of instances they are. One of the major reasons the Expert Advisory Committe flaged BZP as low risk is that the severity of the comedown greatly lessons the potential for abuse. Its important to realise here that the comedown itself is not directly toxic, and if it prevents the indicidents of 'binge' use it actually lessons the harm potential of the drug.
There are many other stimulants that we could have embraced, those of you who remember the EASE trial will know about Methylone which was considered to of much greater risk despite realitively similar pharmacodynamics to BZP.
The future of party pills is uncertain in my view but im sure the months ahead will show some significant developments. The ministry of health comissioned multiple studies last year, all of which i belive are due to come in before the next meeting of the Expert Advisory Commission on Drugs later in July. No doubt that with these studies availiable a look at the classification of BZP will be on the agenda.
The first study however is out now, i think it is availiable at
http://www.shore.ac.nz/publications/publications.html
for any who are interested.
I think BZPs days are numbered, despite no conclusive evidence as of yet that its presence is a bad thing, moral panic will win in the end. All its going to take is one death before Mr Anderton steps into the limelight and announces that the similarities of BZP to known amphetamines make the substance a class B drug under analouge drug laws.
