Splendour In The Grass acts

, , No Comment

So it’s just under a week until music fans book out entire computer labs wait patiently by their laptop to get their hands on some Splendour In The Grass tix. The killer line-up they’ve amassed may even offset the expected drop in bottlenecks following an increase in capacity, increase in price, a move to Woodford and restrictions on patrons under 18. Either way, tickets go on sale at 9am next Thursday the 6th of May, and you probably don’t want to wait until lunch time to hit the site.

Anyway, below is a list of the Australian artists on the bill and links to related posts we’ve featured on the whothehell.net, plus a video on the new Woodford site in case you missed it last week.

The Leafs play Builders Arms Hotel

, , No Comment

the leafs by david payne

Mike and Gus, members of Battlesnake, make up the poptastic sounding Leafs. Short punches of pop that slap you about, kinda like the concords – if they were more rock.
These guys played with the Bon Scotts, who were also very intense and great, at the Builders Arms in Fitzroy. A small dining room gets taken over for the evening, and 100 peeps squeeze in with a minimal stage setup and down lights with red gels gaffered on. Third support slot by Frontiers in Photography rounded off a very nice evening of intimate sets.

The Leafs play about town so check em out here – http://www.myspace.com/theleafs

Gyroscope vs Warner

, , No Comment

What is going on here? Got this in the email just before the weekend:


An important message from Gyroscope:

It has just come to our attention that Warner Music are releasing a ‘Best of Gyroscope’ album. We only found out about this release after being notified by our fans on Facebook.

The song selection, artwork and everything about this release has been done without consultation with the band.

Gyroscope are a band who have always put our fans first. In our opinion, the release of this album without consultation with the band, and without including any material from our new album ‘Cohesion’, does not represent good value for our fans.

Zok, Daniel, Brad & Rob (Gyroscope)
