Here's the email from Vice:
Hello you.
Wrangler Jeans and Vice Magazine have teamed up to bring you a show on Saturday the 21st of Jan (the day after the Big Day Out)...and being the good bastards that we are we've got your door charge covered. Just turn up, listen to the good music, drink and be merry.
The line up for the evening:
-Die!Die!Die!
-Kill Surf City
-Operation Rolling Thunder
Get there nice and early for a sunny beer in the Garden Bar while we put DJ Stiv to work knocking out some tunes for you. Show kicks off at 9pm.
$5 pints of Speights but....
Good on ya mate.
Hopefully we'll see a new Cassette album over the next few months... And I'm also very much looking forward to the Chris Knox and The Nothing album - a studio-recorded album with band!
i'm hoping he just wanders around talking to people at random. Like a thrid-rate performance artist in the grandstand....
Thanks for those two grat AKL shows... Bringing the drum n bass n guitar to Fu was bloody fun!
I'm not sure there's enough cocaine around at the moment to get Mr West down here.
Someone's probably mentioned this already but Franz Ferdinand have announced a Sydney gig on Jan 24th.
James Murphy delayed the release of the LCD Soundsystem CD hoping to avoid getting an ugly logo slapped on the front and an often unplayable disc, but to no avail. Apparently the topic comes up for debate at the highest level internationally quite frequently - he says the best thing to do is to register your disappointment with both the artist and the record company, but it is well and truly out of individual artists' hands. Interesting as he was a big catch for EMI.
They're named after the batch of trips called Fat Freddys, right? wrong?
Don't know how that helps, but brings back good memories...
Frontseat, this Sunday 3rd April, 10.35pm TV One
FIGHT!
Gemma Gracewood heads into the thick of the huge South By Southwest (SXSW)
music showcase in Austin, Texas. A sort of music industry supermarket held
over 5 days in March each year, SXSW sees a thousand bands competing
against each other for the attention of 6,000 music industry big-wigs. This
year's SXSW featured five New Zealand bands, one hip hop artist and an
exciting on-stage altercation.
Everything's hearsay on here, not to mention in general, as far as this whole story goes... But I'll second Sicoff's testament to Phil's character - the racial slur story is a red herring. As far as I'm aware (some) and you'll believe me (maybe a little) the altercation was the equivalent of that good old 'did you just say [blah blah blah]'; 'no i didn't'; 'no you just said [blah blah blah]'.
Don't know if anyone's still paying attention to this thread, but I just found it, so here goes:
Mikey Havoc sings on MC OJ & Rhythm Slave's Money Worries
Otis & Slave were in Joint Force with DLT
DLT & Shayne blah blah blah
As Bill Murray as Barnaby might be... Jane Yee as Scarlett Johansson? Ugh, never!
Looks like the Ozzies will be getting another gig then... Since they are polite little punters who buy their tickets early, not like us last minute guys. Unfortunately (and don't get me wrong this is no sales pitch) until we get more excited about buying tickets and get them earlier, poor ticket sales will continue to be used as an excuse to move gigs out of NZ in favour of larger and more lucrative Australian shows....
Let's throw in a Punches.
A Peaches.
And some Hot Chip(s)
Deja Voodoo
CSS
And motherfuxking Slayer!
