Can't stand the fucker and he lets the band down as I had a few drinks with the lead singer one night at Enigma and he seems like a lad.

Couldn't agree more Quazza.

good to see they lived up to your expectations matt

i know how much you were looking forward to that show

ah fuck!!! cant believe i missed em. shit!

What sort of music do they play?

BTW Nine Inch Nails are touring...thoughts on them? not my sort of music, but im sure they'd put on a good show...

i honestly cant remember any of it was too out of it...if u saw a guy with a yellow Bundaberg tie on, stumbling around in the mosh, that was me ...

yeah bring on Shihad (they rocked last time at Flinders)...have u heard about the special gig they are doing in a week and a bit?saw it in ONION mag (i think), if u buy their new album from BigStarRecords u get two free passes to it (very limited tickets tho)

ive heard someone sum them up as a bit of a mix of Tool and The Butterfly Effect...if that helps

Cog are sick, i've known the guys for a few years now, after they played their first show at the Crown and Anchor here. Great band, proly best show i reckon they've payed here was supporting TBE with Snap To Zero @ Heaven. Really diggin the new album, but personally reckon Just Visiting Pt1 is the shit! Big fan of the track Paris, Texas aswell. unfortunately missed them both shows this time round, but i'll catch up with em soon. Going on a roadtrip with a few friends to see NIN in melbourne. Looking forward to that!

Ok you got me started

TBE are the fucking shit no other band in the country puts on a more entertaining show IMO. Yeah there are other good bands out there dont get me wrong and they have good songs and a good live shows but no feeling. TBE just have so much feeling alot of that is due to their front man Clint and just the place he take's you. When he sings it sound like he is some how harnessing his rawest emotions and putting them on parade for you and I channeling them through his voice. Take songs like The Cell and Consequence. He is on that line where he is bordering absolute colapse but some how he holds it together.

As for the other band members Ben the drummer, Kurt the guitarist and Glenn the bass player and Clint they are all awesome dudes. Yes Kurt is a bit of a ladies man I'll give him that, in terms of his performance yes the band have told him to settle down on stage as he just loses his shit to the music like I do and coupled with a few bevvies it has effected his performance before and the rest of the band wont have it anymore. Also the riffs he now plays are quite a bit harder and he has to concentrate alot more. As for the other members Ben is the fucking man top bloke, loves to talk tunes and drums with just about about anyone and have talked to him quite a few times before and after shows as well as Glenn. I have heard a few rumours that Ben lets the door swing both ways and he's on the wrong side of the door as well but they are only rumors.

There you have it. My thoughts.

u seen dallas crane live?

Would love to go see NIN in august if I can afford it anyone got a spare seat in a car? I dont bite and I am housed trained.

TBE is the shit!! and i have to agree with Matt_1, TBE put on the best show of all aus bands ive seen so far. no competition there...

QUOTE (Quazza @ May 30 2005, 09:03 PM)

Sorry there Quazz havent seen em but have heard there stuff dont mind it but its not my thing. Have you seen TBE and if it was at the BDO a year back that was their shitest performace ever IMO so it dont count.

Agree with you there Matt.
There shows are awesome, I thought there shows at the Uni Bar were better than Heaven as the crowd has a better vibe as is always packed.

There show at the Big Day out last year was rockin to.
When I seen them at the Falls festival NYE 03-04 that set got the party strarted over there, and set the standard.

*Talking about the Butterfly Effect*

The only one i could think of that you would even remotely konw would be "Open Up" which is a cover of a Leftfeild song they do. On the EP along with that there is a techno remix of the song they recored, sounds alright.

Other than that
Mosiach
Bondi
Just Visiting
Real Life
My Enemy
Silence is Violence

Dallas Crane were the most fun show I saw at the BDO.
Followed by Wolfmother, then Frenzal.
Cog were the absolute dog's bollocks according to a couple of friends of mine.

How do you guys rate Adelaide own Testeagles.

I went to Cummins (near Pt Lincoln) last year they played a show with Spiderbait and Frenzal, Testeagles were a stand out for mine.
There mix between rock and electronic sounds was sweet.

I think Silverchair back in the day were fucking awesome band to watch.
By back in the day I mean on the release of there first album. I do recall Triple J giving them the label of best live Australian act at that time. but thats always everyone's owe opinion.

Both me and matty love the TE's to death

Fucking great live band, and they always have been
i'd rate them up there with any international act i've seen along with the rest
of the list of locals matty put further down the page

it's a shame to have seen them go from strength to strength to strength
only to be cut down by a wank arse record company

FUCKING DIE SONY DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Testeagles are awesome! last time i saw them was few years back with grinspoon at flinders uni...theyre awesome live, realy get the crowd going...

as for silverchair, i saw them during their Freakshow tour and their Diorama Live From Far Away Stables tour (at the Adelaide Festival Theatre - 2hrs+ of my life i will never forget)...both were very different shows, Freakshow being on the heavier/moshpit side, and their Diorama show more on the pure quality/musical experience and more acoustic side...they pull both types of shows off to the highest possible standard, which only a handfull of other bands can manage (eg Matellica & some others)

PRESS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Friday June 10th, 2005
Proudly presented by triple j, Aloha & TPA

THE HOMELAND SECURITY TOUR featuring SHIHAD and COG
SUNDAY 4TH SEPTEMBER
HEAVEN, ADELAIDE (Licensed & All Ages)
tickets at Venuetix $32.40

this is gunna be sick!

Two of our favourite heavy-hitting, socially-conscious rock bands – Shihad and Cog - are joining forces to tour nationally on “The Homeland Security Tour 2005” in August & September. ‘Homeland Security’ is also the name of an American organization whose mandate is to secure the U.S. from terrorist attacks; and the tour has been dubbed the The Homeland Security Tour as an ironic reflection of the two bands being juxtaposed against the collapse of freedom and the current climate of generating fear.

Tom Larkin from Shihad explains “The current global political climate seems to be dividing people along ideological and religious lines, separating each other at a time in history when we have a greater capacity for learning and understanding than ever before yet we’re fast becoming a fractured planet – This tour is not only about music but about highlighting those issues as well.”

Shihad’s new album “Love Is The New Hate” has recently hit the stores and has been heralded as taking the best parts from their previous albums and assembling them in one brutal package. Even Dave Grohl has gone on air in New Zealand proclaiming the new album to be Shihad’s best work. The album is already platinum in NZ, and debuted in Australia at No.11 in the ARIA album chart.

Talking of the tour, Stixman Tom said “Cog is a band that we have a huge amount of respect for, and that respect has only increased on the basis of their phenomenal new album... it’s one of the Rock Albums of the Year in my book. “The New Normal” shows the depth of the band and a willingness to do things differently. We find them inspiring, and they’re great musicians; and ideologically they come from the same space that we do but they say it in a different way. I’m excited about being able to be watching them every night on The Homeland Security Tour. “

Cog released their debut album “The New Normal” in March and have been making a major impact at commercial radio around the country with “My Enemy”. Before they Australian tour they are also hitching a ride over the ditch with Shihad for some kiwi hospitality & their first shows in New Zealand. Cog singer Flynn Gower said “Shihad have been a band we have always looked up to, and this double bill of Australia and New Zealand bands teaming up is like the rock & roll ANZACs joining forces”…
