With a fiendishly hatched scheme, Essex based four piece BADDIES set out to take over the world. Armed with a flair for twisting their adrenaline driven songs into crowd frenzying anthems, they spent the European summer touring and playing on the festival circuit, working harder than any other band around.
And work they have, their first single that was released only on vinyl sold out in record time. Their first video snuck into the MTV2/Myspace chart unannounced with zero promotion and then flew up to the #1 position. And now with their newly released debut album ‘Do The Job’ they’re getting set to bring their brash, balls to wall sound to Australia. Make sure you tune in now as their second single ‘Open One Eye’ hits the airwaves because you’ll only have two chances to see them in Australia - Purple Sneakers NYE House Party in Sydney, NSW and Pyramid Rock Festival on Phillip Island, VIC!
I could probably go on for hours, but the one stand out for me was in 2003 at the Auckland Big Day Out. It was the set of the Queens Of The Stone Age & 2 songs in the gear blew up & they had to stop playing, everyone was pissed & the band was so bummed out. At about 11pm at night however, an announcement came out stating they were doing another set on a smaller stage & everyone just scrambled to get there. This set was just so energetic, so aggressive & so impressive & it really stood out as just one of the best shows I’ve had the privledge of witnessing while on tour.
Ideal Lineup? Well for me it’s straight up ACDC as I just love them so much, I would also say U2 once again they’re really great live & play great music. I suppose the only other band I could think of would be Cog, 5they have a great live show & just fit a festival no matter where they play. So yeah, those 3 for me.
Tips for attending Music Festivals? Well the biggest tip I can definitely give is either take or get as much water through the day as you can as it will help you so much, of course people may not take that advice as there’s other stuff to drink at festivals. Make sure you have a plan so you don’t get lost or lose time of the day & ensure you have things mapped out to know where to go for all the essentials. For me the essentials are the bar & the toilets & then the stages, so once you have the plan & the water, it’s all good.
