Big Day Out

[quote author=Daniel]
I have only one enjoyable memory from the 4 or 5 big day outs I have been too and that was seeing my friends band skulker playing, other than that it came down to a waste of time and money

Haha, I remember skulker. They were terrible (uh....no offence...) they used to do shows with Nirocris (who I think were actually WORSE!).

I've got plenty of good BDO memories. I went to BDO from 1999-2005 and saw plenty of fights in those years, but they were always alcohol soaked bogans fighting with alcohol soaked bogans.

meh I rate skulker. They are an all girl band. Their first album wasn't something I loved but their last one "coming Home" was great, Greer had just finished recording it when I knew her.

She was such a small and quiet girl but such a rock star when on stage

Ah the Warped tour 99 at Keirle Park was one of the best.

Suicidal Tendencies
Unwritten Law
Deftones
Frenzal

What a gig that was. I think that was the tour that Unwritten Law got kicked off for asking the crowd to throw **** at them which ruined all of the gear on stage

i went to that......though not a fan of frenzal

 

[Chip and Chase]

Ahh TISM. They put on some of the best gigs I have ever been to. One in particular at Selinas with The Fauves as support.

Dogs are the best people!! I have a new thread in mind, could be huge though.

BDO has turned to **** over the last 5 years, last years post Cronulla patriotism killed it for me, bogans with flags and southern cross tattoos everywhere, I'll be relaxing next door at Roger Waters while it's on this year and also seeing Tool the night before.

Anyone going to Soundwave next month? The line up is something you would expect on the old Warped Tour.

how much is the waters concert?

im tempted but think it will hit the hip pocket a little too much

went to a syd barret night in surry hills on sat where 11 bands played a couple of songs each, some with a lot of artistic liscence others spot on the originals, was a great gig.

I'm going to soundwave... it should be awesome.. looking forward to seeing deftones (again), hatebreed (again) and minus life and parkway drive for the first time.. should be good... do you guys get the overcranked festival down there??

I know it's up here in march and i'll be at that too.... Helmet, god forbid, rollerball and the butterfly effect are on that one.. aswell as heaps of other good ones... also next week i'm going to a Mammal gig... i don't know how many of you are into aussie heavy rock sort of music.. but if you are then i reckon you should check out mammal.. along with horsell common i think they will be the next big heavy band coming from here... also Feb 19 i'm going to see 80's thrasher's testament.. that will be killer
