This year we were lucky enough to play at 3 Big Day out shows. It was great because we were friends with a fair few of the bands (Karnivool, Something With Numbers, Gyroscope, Hilltop Hoods) so it was such a great party vibe. Not only were we paid to get drunk and have fun with our friends we also got to see Rage Against The Machine play 3 nights in a row!!!
Ideal Lineup? Blink 182, Guns N Roses (circa 1988), Marilyn Manson, Knye West, Muse and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Fave artist you've seen at a Music Festival? Rage Against The Machine – Big Day Out 2008. I have been a fan of this band for so long and I thought that I would never get to see them. When I heard that they were confirmed for BDO I nearly shat myself!
Tips for attending Music Festivals? Alcohol is usually very expensive at festival! All you need is a hip flask, a roll of tape and your preferred beverage. Don’t go too hard too soon as festivals usually go for 6-8 hours and you don’t want to end up as one of those sunburnt, passed out, semi naked people that litter these events.

AC/DC debut #1 with first studio release in 8 years!
AC/DC’s first studio release in 8 years, Black Ice, has stormed into the National ARIA charts at #1 position with the album already certified triple platinum sales (210,000 units).
The popularity of Australia’s biggest export has never been more evident with the band clocking the biggest first week over the counter sales in Australia for the past two years!
Black Ice, the first full-length studio album of all-new material from AC/DC since the release of "Stiff Upper Lip" in 2000, was produced by Brendan O'Brien and mixed by Mike Fraser at the Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, BC. Black Ice premieres 15 new AC/DC compositions and performances including the album's first single, "Rock 'N' Roll Train," which saw unprecedented radio play across all radio formats in Australia.
18 Black Ice World Tour concerts sold out in record time when tickets went on sale for the initial round of on-sales, with shows being added in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Oakland due to unprecedented fan demand. The worldwide tour - the band's first since 2001 - promotes Black Ice, AC/DC's latest studio album.
Additional appearances throughout North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australasia, will be announced shortly.

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
Competitions to see who is the most bored, creative couch sitting, bottled water appreciation, flatulence.
If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
Beef jerky. Not as much of a desire amongst the rest of the band unfortunately.
Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
A band called the "East Brunswick All Girls Choir". They are astoundingly good.
What's your most essential item to take on tour?
iPod. Without a doubt. When it all gets too much an iPod drowns it all out.
What's your secret talent?
I am a cat whisperer.
AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
Uh, I look at Facebook the most but update it rarely. I'm what's known on the Internet as a "lurker".
