You know, that's almost a line-up that would get me to Homebake.
Despite the fact that I thought the Grinderman 2 album was below par, I enjoyed their live set at Melbourne BDO. I reckon they would be fun at Meredith. Nick Cave = fun? You better believe it. Maybe he can do a duet with S.mouse!
Fkn. I meant Homebake, not Meredith.
A good line-up for Homebake. They have credible bands like Grinderman, Triffids and The Church. Will that attract the bogan majority who wants Powerfinger and Hilltop Hoods?
As usual, the rest of the bill is just whoever Triple J happens to be pushing.
Lots of bands from the IMC agency roster, but that's not surprising since they run Homebake.
They could do Stagger Lee!
Genius! I think kuroneko would approve.
