Fuck yeah grinspoon

Good line up, not 1 band I wanna see.

maybe i say this every year, but aside from mild curiosity about childish gambino there's not one band i would even want to see at a side show. i'm officially too old for BDO. which begs the question: why would the youths want to go see the chili peppers? they've been sucking for the past 15 years!

I'm anticipating 'sluggish' ticket sales again this year. Do people still listen to RHCP?

Are you kidding? bogans love RHCP.

Their last 6 albums have gone #1 in Australia with the exception of their last one, which was #2. I couldn't be less interested in this line-up, it's dead as far as I'm concerned but I understand the ''no brainer'' line-up they've put together in the interest of guaranteeing ticket sales.

Granted, I'm probably the exact target age for the BDO promoters, but I don't think it's as bad as everyone is making it out to be, especially when compared to the awful lineup last year. Death Grips!, Animal Collective, YYYs, Crystal Castles, I might even go.

Grinspoon

Ha ha ha ha. Ha.

They're working on a new record aren't they? Least there's some reason for a tour.

I reckon Death Grips will pull out, they seem to do this a lot.

hoping jeff the brotherhood play the oldie again, good times will ensue.

ALABAMA SHAKES

No At the Drive In?

I put money of ATDI and Refused at Soundwave. Although if they are in the second announcement I will have lost my own personal bet

Yeah, but the only people who seem to even remember the spoon these days are bitter old messageboard queens. Not much of a market.

The Living End must be crushed not to be included for the first time in a bazillion years.

This still looks like a typical Bogan Day Out.

Who's playing guitar in RHCP these days?? No Frusciante.. No interested

 There are also 30 Big Day Out n00bs on the bill

At a cursory glance it looks like a lot of these have toured Australia several times.

yep happy to stay retired from BDO

pretty light on the aussie bands/usual suspect that usually dot the first lineup?

Probably too busy learning their entire back catalog for those shows they have planned at the end of the year. Even they realize that people would get sick of them if they play too much

Stoked to see Foals again. They were fantastic last year.

''Length and Girth''

While there's no-one there to make me buy a ticket, I reckon I could enjoy at least 4 bands on that bill.

And will the dude from Against Me play as a babe?

Interesting change to the tour schedule - Melbourne is always on the Sunday with the bands in town for almost a week. When are they gonna do the side shows/party?

good point pandad. maybe there won't be sideshows, copping the move from parklife.

When I first saw it last night I thought it was rubbish( Grinspoon, Killers boring) plus a lot of bands that have played other festivals recently. Its been growing on me all day though. Even though there are a lot of bands that have played other festivals recently, they are decent ones. YYYs, animal collective, Alabama Shakes, Delta Spirit, Childish Gambino will keep me interested. Considering there are so many festivals around these days and its still reasonably priced I think they have done a reasonable job. Interested to see what the 'revamped' show will mean. Lack of Aussie bands is a bit concerning though.

Troy and Abed in the moooorning.

Donde esta el biblioteca mi llamo t-bone la araña discoteca. discoteca, muñeca, la biblioteca esta en bigote grande, perro, manteca manteca, bigote, gigante, pequeño cabeza es nieve cerveza es bueno. buenos diaz, mi gusto patatas frias, el bigote de las cabras es Cameron Diaz.

i don't see how anyone can possibly see $165 as 'reasonably priced' for any festival. every festival is a rip off these days. promoters must be making a mint.

The venues more-so I expect.

How about the $265 ''like a boss'' ticket for reasonable value? According to the (un-bylined) splash in today's MX, it gives ''entry to a special cocktail lounge, coast checks, phone-charging stations, all-day passouts and climate-controlled toilets''.

Which reminds me, whatever happened to the she-pee?

they were really struggling to talk up that ticket weren't they?

During a journey through Indonesia, Dutch born Moon Zijp was confronted with the fact that when she needed to pee she would find herself in a difficult situation. Moon would have to go deeper into the jungle to allow her sufficient privacy to pee as well as having the difficulty of squatting. From these experiences, which most women can relate to, she developed her first She Pee (p-mate) at the Amsterdam Academy of Arts. This devise allowed her and other women to pee while standing upright

This idea was cemented in the minds of the Dutch when a Local talk show host, Paul de Leeuw, interviewed Moon and she demonstrated the She Pee (p-mate) live in front of the nation. From that point she was overwhelmed with publicity and interest and opened up her idea to all the women of the Netherlands.

The She Pee (p-mate) has since been found at major music festival in Holland and also in Canada, Australia and England.

The product was last sighted at the BDO in 2005

As far as I know, they weren't back the following year.

those crazy dutchies. first clogs, then she pee's.

where will their inventiveness take them??

Anywhere but back to the BDO.

Do you think Grinspoon will play sideshows? I wonder how big a room they would need nowadays.

bettie serveert for the second announcement, mebbe?

Do you think Grinspoon will play sideshows? I wonder how big a room they would need nowadays.

i bet they could sell out the metro in sydney and an equivalent sized room in melbourne. the forum, i guess?

people who are ten to fifteen years older than the cast but still watch the shire need someone to go get drunk at and shout along with. ''dead cat...three times!''

If you were 18 when Grinspoon's first EP came out in 1995 you are now 35.

If you were 18 when their debut album came out in 1997 that makes you 37.

In short, Grinspoon's fans are closing in on 40. It's tough getting a babysitter ya know.

You might want to check your maths on that second one.

Sorry, 33. So there's a chance that cohort might not yet be knocked up.

Surely they were knocked up at 19 and their kids are ready to go to the BDO now?
