lonelyday Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Well the big day out is hitting New Zealand on the 19th January, I'm really looking forward to it theres some great acts, although i don't know half of them, but these things are good for finding out about new groups and stuff. Thought I'd post and see what you all think of the acts theyve got coming to NZ: Tool Muse Jet Violent Femmes Eskimo Joe The Streets The Killers John Butler Trio Kasabian Crystal Method DJ's Scribe My Chemical Romance Evermore Justice Peaches & Herms Trivium John Cooper Clarke Afra & The Amazing Beat Box Band Little Birdy The Presets Spankrock Luciano The Vines Plus...Hot Chip, Lily Allen, Lupe Fiasco, Diplo, Shapeshifter, That 1 Guy, DJ Sir-Vere, Blindspott, David Kilgore, Deceptikonz, The Rabble, PNC, Dimmer, Sinate, Goodnight Nurse, The Shaky Hands, The Veils, The Mint Chicks, The Tutts, Minuit, Opensouls, Jakob. I think most of the last ones are local artists and bands so I don't think many of you would have heard of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However Hot Chip (Link) are one of the most talked about "up and coming" bands in the UK. Their 2006 album "The Warning" was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, yielded two Top 40 singles and featured in many of the end of year "Best of 2006" round-ups. Also Lily Allen's album "Alright, Still" was one of the top-selling albums by a UK artist last year, (and understandably so: it's great!) The Violent Femmes should be good.

Shadows Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I was going to go up to Auckland to go to this with all my friends, but we changed our minds. The only band playing that I really like anyway is The Violent Femmes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonelyday Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) I quite like the line up this year, I really hope i will get to see the Violent Femmes, they're the last act and at last years BDO we ended up crawling through trees to see Fat Freddy's Drop which was the last act, only to find the crowd of people too huge there was no way we could fit so we had to crawl back through the trees and I lost my friends in the process. I found them about five minutes later- apparently i'm a faster tree crawler than them But i suppose it's all part of the experience...

lonelyday Posted January 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 We didn't even have to this time, even though a record number of tickets were sold, we just left Tool early since none of us are hardout fans of them. We saw a lot of acts, I was a bit disappointed with the Killers, seeing them live is pretty much the same as watching them in a video, but my favourites were Kasabian, Hot Chip, Spankrock, The Violent Femmes-who showed they could put on a great show. And Muse who were just amazing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
