Red Hot Chilli Peppers!!

In April this year the Red Hot Chilli Peppers played 3 shows at the Aisa Arean in Sydney. We were lucky enough to score 7 tickets to the Tuesday the 17th show of the net before they sold out. My Brother Dave, sister Erin her freind and I all drove up form canberra the afternoon of the show. After driving 3 and a half hours and paying the toll on the M5 we got to the arena.
when we got there we ran into some mates form uni that were going too aswell as mates form canberra who were sitting 2 doors away form us. It was pritty crazy the amount of people that were at the show, but i was not supprised considering it was the Chilli Peppers.
The support band that played, Har mar Superstars were pritty crap. The singer was on stage dancing around in nothing but his underpants, and at one stage with an unbrella. i decided at this point getting a overpriced burben and coke was the best option. After a few of them i dicided to fight the lines at the merch stand to get myself a tour shirt. Then the call came that the Peppers will be on stage in 5 mins. So i proceded to leg it back up the steps and around the arena to where i was seated. Before the band came on stage a mexican wave started that went around the whole arena of some 23,000 people which was pritty dam cool. Then the band came on with deafening cheers form the crowd including some from myself.
They opened with Cant Stop, and played a bunch of songs form there new cd's as well as some old classics. the stage set up was awesome aswell, there was 4 big screens with live footage of the band as well as a massive screen that had some cool shit on it. overall they put on a pritty kick ass show, and the atmasphere of the arena was pritty eletric. The only bad thing about the show was they didnt play some songs, soul to squeeze which is one of my favourate songs. After they went off stage there was huge cheers form the crowd to play an oncour and just when i though they were not going to come back they jumped back on stage. They played an instramental piece for about 10 minurtes aswell where flea played the trumpet. This was really cool because it gave you a side of the band that you dont normally get to hear in their recordings.
After they played i cought up with my mates so see what they were getting up to after the show. But as nothing was really planed for going out i went home back to canberra.
Over all it was a pritty awesome show, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers are definently worth the ticket price to see live.

The Myspace Song

This is a song written for O Week T.V last year. It is a Parity on emo's and myspace culture. Before you go baging the vocals, which i sung, it is a parity song (and i cant sing). It took me all of about 20 mins to write the vocals, and pierre about an hour or so to come up with the music. Then we recorded the guitar and bass on my mac in garage band, the drunb track is done in midi but is not loops. we recorded the vocals in the T.V studio at tv land, and some of the video. The rest of the video was recored at house 305 last year. It is in no way a serious song, and if you find it offencive in any way then you shuld get a sence of humour...

Dusty Days O7

http://www.dustydays.com.au


On saturday the 17 of March Waggers own Dusty Days Music festival was held at the wagga show grounds. I did some promotion around the uni for it so i got my self a free ticket (the normal ticket price was $49 or $35 for students).
The Line up for the main stage was pretty decent.
With bands like:

Something for Kate
Thirsty Merc
The Herd
Faker
Bliss n Eso
and many more performing on the main stage.

There was also a local band stage where lesser known and more regional bands played. And a D.J dance floor which wasn't very popular.
There was also the usual market stalls and a few carnival rides, and food stands (dagwood dogs still taste like crap).
The two stand out bands for me were Faker, who i have seen play before and always put on a good show. And The Herd, their mix of Hip Hop and Reggae really got the crowd going. There was a good crowd of people for all the bands throughout the day, which really gave the day more of a big music festival feel.
There was alot of support for the bands on the smaller stage aswell which is a good sign for local music in wagga.
The turn out was really solid with the show grounds packed out by night fall. Much better than last years turn out which was disappointing at best. The promoters put in alot more effort to sell the show to Wagga and the student population and it really showed on the day.
The venue was alot better than last year aswell, and i think it has a lot of pertential to be Waggers mager venue for Big live bands.
There was alot of drinking, no supprise for a music festival especially for one in Wagga. One thing that was supprising was the amount of police with a few people getting done for drugs. As well as a fights, including a cat fight that happened literally 2 meters away form me!
However this did little to dampen the atmosphere of the day, Which was pretty fun especially after a few drinks.
Over all Dusty Days was a fun day out in the sun and has alot of potential to be a Big event for the Wagga Calendar in years to come.
