 My Festival Experience 
 
MM9
Your most memorable Festival moment or experience?
I think playing at the Open Arms Festival last year in Coffs Harbour. The day was ridiculously hot right up until we hit the stage and just then a massive storm rolled in and it poured throughout our set. Everyone just went with it, got soaked and went crazy and as soon as we played our last note, the storm was gone. It was a surreal.

Favourite Artist you’ve seen at a Music Festival?
Ah there's been so many, that's way too hard! I'd have to say Pendulum, Nirvana, Sigur Ros, Ministry, or Daft Punk.

What’s your ideal Festival line-up?
Ha ha, see the answer above and add MM9!!!

What are your tips for attending Music Festivals?
Sunscreen, plenty of water, and go and watch something that you've never seen or heard before!
 
 
 
Reel Big Fish
 
Posted on December 4 2009
Reel Big Fish announce Sideshows!

Let's just say that if it weren't for the outlandish ‘80s hair-metal rockers of Poison — and more specifically, guitarist C.C. Deville and his dangerously flamboyant licks, leads and neon-lime painted axes—legendary Orange County ska-rockers Reel Big Fish probably wouldn’t have ever existed.

After being in the limelight for well over a decade and armed with mischievous grins, punk rock confidence and the ability to continually take the piss out of themselves, Reel Big Fish continue to take to the world stages harnessing new fans wherever they roam. “In the tradition of Madness, here is a band that will never die from taking themselves too seriously.” – Rolling Stone

Here come The Aquabats! The first all-crime fighting all-surfing rock supergroup in history! On their quest to right wrongs, destroy boredom and seek justice for all! The Aquabats! cut through the dark façade of rock ‘n' roll, encouraging people to lighten up, and not take themselves so seriously. The Aquabats! have always seemed to shock the ‘shockers. ‘Now... stand back, for your own safety!

Rounding out this frivolity filled triple bill is none other than The Creepshow. Formed in the dirty back alleys and dive bars of Toronto, Ontario in 2005, The Creepshow has redefined the saying “No Rest For The Wicked”. Their passion for touring is borderline obsessive-compulsive and watching one of their eye scorching live shows is a full frontal assault to all your senses.

On the back of their Soundwave 2010 performances, Reel Big Fish, The Aquabats! and The Creepshow will be performing 2 club shows only!

Tour dates are:

Wednesday 24 February: Manning Bar, Sydney – 18+
www.ticketek.com.au 132 849 / www.moshtix.com.au / www.oztix.com.au

Thursday 25 February: Gershwin Room, Melbourne – 18+
www.ticketek.com.au 132 849 & www.espy.com.au

Plan B
Posted 27/02/2010
If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
Drinking a lot of Jack Daniels. Jack Daniels and Coke. Dressed suited and booted in 60s soul Motown clothes. There might be a couple of ladies there, but all above board. We are gentlemen. Usually the best sh*t happens at the after parties, backstage after the gig. You’re pretty sweaty and tired and it’s not as glamorous as you might think, but definitely a lot of alcohol and a couple of pretty ladies.

If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
I had a massage the other day down here in Kings Cross… It’s not what you think; it didn’t have a happy ending or anything. It was actually a proper massage. And I’d probably have one of them before every show.

Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
The Prodigy is one of my favourite bands. Gotta shout them out everytime.

What's your most essential item to take on tour?
iPhone. Gotta be the iPhone.

What's your secret talent?
Singing!

AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
Twitter… I think.
