Unbelievable! Danko! McLusky! Weekend complete! Funny, only this morning I e-mailed the press office asking when the next announcement would be... and suggesting Danko should be on the bill.

[TazzyK]

Hmmm... nothing there really interests me.. looks like one big piss up then...

[Fat Reg]

Tazzy - go see Danko. He's an amazing live act. And McLusky are awesome if you like noisy, shouty blokes. A lot like Shellac (I think Steve Albini produced their recent album in fact).

Damn reading is actually looking good, danko, amplifier, glitteratia are all brilliant.

Do me bad things are also a great band, have about 10 members, backing singers, 3 singers, face paint, one singer kept climbing up the stage set... music was alrite too

Sounds great. I was even impressed by the Polyphonic Spree when they were playing in the carling tent and the music was a bit lacking then.

Mondo Generator are definitely worth seeing. It's Nick (the bald bearded naked one) from Queens of the Stone Age, Brant Bjork from Kyuss and a couple of their mates. I saw them over Christmas and it was non-stop Rock n Roll ;D They even chucked in Black Flag and Kyuss covers in the encore.

I just got the first Shellac album for my birthday and it's quality. Steve Albini sure is an angry man.

Not all that keen on stuff I've heard from Danko...lol

[Fat Reg]

He's much better live than on record.

[TazzyK]

Hmmm....... there's probably another band on I'd rather see..... either that or I'll be pissed up in a field somewhere... talking to random person

[Trigger]

Yeah I think I might check Danko out and see what all the fuss is about but it depends on when he plays etc.

[TazzyK]

Looks like I am going to see Danko after all then lol

[Fat Reg]

Nice one, Trigger - drag Tazzy along, too. Neither of you will regret it. Forget the records (though they're pretty good) - the live show is pure dynamite.

[Trigger]

Yeah if I dont like what I hear within the first few songs I will be walking away to get some alcohol though, as im not sure what to expect.

[S8N]

It's gonna be the quasi-official forum get together so you've gotta come!
