| | I’d probably say it was earlier this year, we did a show over in Perth, I think it was a festival. The show was completely sold out & at home we were able to have heaps of friends & family, don’t get me started on the size of the guest list, but the crowd was great. To be able to rock out to so many people from our home as well as the people we know & love it was just great & that’s the stand out for me.
Ideal Lineup?
Well despite the impossibility of it I’d definitely say Nirvana. They are & were such an inspirational band of their time & even though they’re no longer around, I’d still love to see them as I missed out. Besides that, I’d love to see some bands from the 60’s & 70’s that are more melody based, such as The Beatles & The Rolling Stones, they really did great stuff & I feel the melody in music has really disappeared today. So to see bands like that play would be great.
Face artist you've seen at a Music Festival?
One that really stands out to me still is a set I caught here in Perth by The Music. They were playing the Big Day Out in Perth & I was waiting for another band to come on, but went over to the stage they were on about 25 minutes early. The set by The Music was just amazing, the passion & technique the musicians put on was amazing & to see them up in like tracksuit jackets in summer really was cool & it was just a great set.
Tips for attending a music festival?
Pretty much just sunscreen & water. As I mentioned, the place gets really hot in the afternoon & with heaps of people there, the amount of shade becomes a lot less. The water is basically just to stay cool & to survive the day & then besides that just have some booze & food if you need it & all is good. |

| | Lamb announce Australian tour dates! |
| Lamb, the UK’s finest trip-hop duo excited their fans when they signaled an end to their five year hiatus, announcing their reformation in early ’09 for a series of summer festivals and one-off live shows. The Frontier Touring Company is ecstatic to announce the news many have been awaiting: Lamb are back and will perform intimate headline shows in Brisbane and Melbourne this summer.
Lamb took the world by storm throughout the 90s and early 00s, releasing a flurry of albums and singles. Drawing critical acclaim for their unique soundscapes, fusing trip-hop, jazz and drum and bass, Lamb firmly made their mark on the music world through the release of their debut album Lamb
A volatile working relationship led to their break up in 2004, drawing the career of one of the UK’s celebrated bands to a close. Stepping out of the Lamb shadow, Lou Rhodes and Andy Barlow forged successful solo careers – Lou as a singer/songwriter, and Andy as a producer.
In 2009 however, their five year break came to an end with Lou and Andy reconnecting and returning to their roots to revisit the source of their musical passion, which has allowed a legion of loyal fans the opportunity to see their heroes live on stage again.
It has been six years since Lamb performed on our shores as part of Australia’s iconic Livid Festival, their headline shows sold out drawing rave reviews from thrilled audience members and critics.
Their return this summer is sure to present a similar offering as the band take to the stage rejuvenated, with a renewed sense of passion.
When a band holds a reputation like Lamb do, there’s no doubt demand for tickets will be high. Secure yours when they go on sale Wednesday 25 November at 9am. Please visit frontiertouring.com for pre-sale information.
