Man O War! Can't lose...

It seems everyone around here is frothing on the old Soundwave announcement. Good times! Junior weightlifting prodigy and KYS big wig Jared ‘The Hebrew Hammer’ Heilborn recently sent out an email asking for us bloggers to write about this soundwave festival. I immediately replied and said mate… are you sure you want me to do this? His response was FAITH NO MORE Viking! The man raised a good point.
 
Straight off the bat, I will not be attending soundwave. To be totally honest there are two bands on that line-up that tickle my fancy… Faith No More and Jane’s Addiction. The rest I have never heard of, think they are shithouse, or have seen a bunch of times before and couldn’t care less if they were back in Australia. I guess this festival is just not my thing and I could think of a million other things I would rather do with my time than spend it surrounded by a bunch of jokers (hello generalisation) at this rubbish event. Anyway, the mighty Faith No More are back and I’m pretty stoked about it. They’re band I really do enjoy and grew up listening to. Probably the number one band of my teenage years to be honest. Here’s hoping they do some kind of sideshow. Surely! As for Jane’s Addiction- any band than makes me want to get nude and dance is good in my books. Hopefully I manage to get along to a sideshow of theirs as well. So there it is… my two cents on the Soundwave Festival.
 
Festival season is well and truly on the way. Once again the Aussie summer will be flooded with festivals, there’s pretty much one on somewhere every bloody weekend. Some good, some bad. There are three 'fests' that I will most definitely attend this summer… Meredith (best festival in the country by a mile), Stereosonic (rug cutting central) and Pyramid Rock for new years. Pending the line-up you can probably throw ye old faithful Big Day Out into the mix as well. Can’t wait for summer! Short shorts and visors… get your disco on!.
 
There’s been some pretty decent new music out lately. Well I think it’s decent anyway. The new Kisschasy record ‘Seizures’ is a ripper pop rock release and probably the best work yet from the lads. It’s in stores today so do yourself a favor and get your hands on a copy. The Bloody Beetroots have just dropped there electro punk bomb called ‘Romborama’ and it’s crazy good. Can’t wait to catch these guys again. One of the best live acts I’ve ever seen… it’s just chaos. Mariachi El Bronx (The Bronx) finally release there self titled number. I love what I’ve heard so far and can’t wait to see them live. The Bronx rule. Calvin Harris is a lord and is about to release his new LP titled ‘Ready For The Weekend’. From all reports this record will get dance floors shaking and if the first single is anything to go buy I’m going to froth on it. Harris is actually a wizard. Check out this youtube clip where Harris uses a ‘human synth’ to recreate his new single. Good times! A few tracks from Every Time I Die’s newy have caught my attention in the last week or two. Pretty keen for the album to come out. Lets face it… anything this band does is gold.
 
Anyway that’s all I’ve got for now. Hope everyone has a good weekend. Carn’ the doggies, go fishing, and put some chili plants in your garden.
 
God bless ya!
