Good band. Shitty festival. The ongoing dilemma of the Australian music fan.

i honestly can't understand the hype about 'em even one iota.

this band makes no sense to me.

Gotta be a sideshow?

Frontman RedEye (Damian Abraham) is hilarious.

Watch him on Fox news:

Pink Eyes rather.

The TV segment is called RedEye.

i honestly can't understand the hype about 'em even one iota.

But what about the hype about Circle Pit, Eddie Cuzza and all the other sub-par garage bands that M&Ners wank over?

do you understand that hype?

fingers x'd for a side show with trash talk

like this band alot. hopefully there will be a sideshow!

There's gotta be a sideshow, surely.

saw em last week at ATP in Monticello, NY. were fucking amazing. def recommend catching their sideshow

Fucking awesome news - gonna have to see 'em!

I saw them at ATP recently and didn't quite get it. Applaud the frontman's gut, though.

Side show. keeping tabs.

I don't understand any hype. With Fucked Up I understand it even less though. Weak ass hardcore backed up with pseudo intellectual rhetoric. Pass.

fucked up are kind of fun, cooper, a little overrated though. i saw them at a vice party in london and didn't have a good time, too many fuckwits around, i do enjoy listening to their records at home occasionally.

If Pete Hyde and MATTPHEONIXxx had a lovechild...

Never heard of this band but what's with all these stupid band names lately! Like 'Holy Fuck' and a bunch of others I can't remember with a whole lot of swearing. Is it meant to be ironic, funny, bad-ass!?!?!?

Shit, I sure am cranky this morning! Sorry.

Sydney sideshow is an opening slot with a bunch of terrible hardcore bands. WHY?!

Melbourne show is gonna rule.

Um, cos fucked up are a hardcore band too?

Smith st band are the best band in Melbourne

Smith st band are the best band in Melbourne

incorrect.

give me proof, Dexter/dnzr... I wanna know more

Smith Street Band has a bandcamp page. What I heard reminded me of the year 1994 and the band Silkworm.

Smith Street band have improved HEAPS over the last few years. Good guys, fun music.

Helped that they were able to use Fucked Up's backline. Pretty freakin' noice if you ask me... On form last night. Its good when a support band exceeds expectations and also doesn't have a choking moment.

Wasn't a fan of all the bigzing up of Dave Grohl, etc, with Fucked Up but then, those guys invited them over which meant I got to see them PLAY! So I shoudn't complain about that. Bite, hand, feed something something....

Still wished Pink Eye poured vodka all over himself though. I'm a little disappointed about that. Water isn't nearly as exciting!

voted best album of 2011 by spin.
regardless, i'm so loving that photo:

Does anyone remember the name of the guest guitarist they had when they came?

I can't remember, and my work internet is blocking my searches.

He played in No Warning- cant remember his name though.

2 dudes from No Warning played with Fucked Up that show.

Ben Cook as been with 'em a while and pretty sure it was Matt De Longe who was the other dude.

Matt De Longe

YES, that's it.

Bugged the hell outta me

Thank you!

also, ''Ill Blood'' by No Warning is easy one of the best HC records of the '00s...

I'll have a listen later when I get home. I'll let you know if I agree or not with that statement :)

tough fucking riffs.

back for soundwave

I thought they weren't gonna your as much? Anyway, them and Cerebral Ballzy is cool but no way am I paying $190 for that lineup.

Err, tour

local Melbourne band Ratsak have an early Fucked Up sound but better!

How early are we talking - straight-up hardcore, or when they started mixing in other elements, like on Hidden World?

hidden world. the guitar on one of their songs sounds like baiting the public
