We did a festival in melbourne and it was a great. We got to hang out with Grinspoon and drink with those guys.
What are your tips for attending Music Festivals?Don't get drunk to quick. Pace yourself. So many people drink really quick at the start and it always ends up messy.
Favourite Music Festival? I would have to say 'Big Day Out'. To any band it is great to be able to perform there its an honor. I was happy because when we did it 'Rage Against The Machine' were also playing that year and it was just one band I had always wanted to see play.
What's your ideal music festival line-up?Blink 182, Greenday and if I gould dig Jeff Buckley up, I would have him there to.
Favourite artist you’ve seen at a Music Festival? Rage Against The Machine.

Jamie T announces Australian tour dates!
Some two and a half years after the release of his Mercury nominated debut album ‘Panic Prevention’, and almost 2 years to the day since his last Australian visit, JAMIE T and his band THE PACEMAKERS are set to return to our wintry shores this coming September for a highly anticipated national tour.
Emerging as somewhat of a Brit Phenomenon from the thriving south London music scene in mid 2006,JAMIE T’s eclectic, guitar-wielding approach and penchant for telling yarns has spawned a spread of intriguing hit singles.
With a new album in tow, JAMIE T AND THE PACEMAKERS return to Australia this coming September, and with a live show that’s joyously shambolic … it’s a deliciously entertaining place to hang out for a while.
Tour dates are:
17 Aug: Metro Theatre, NSW 20 Aug: The Hi-Fi, VIC 23 Aug: The Hi-Fi, QLD 24 Aug: Governor Hindmarsh Hotel, SA 25 Aug: Fly By Night, WA

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
Over a few drinks we’d probably be kicking the footy around I guess. Depends….I’ve got a fairly one track mind before a show and tend to tweak my gear endlessly in anticipation of going on-stage, but definitely love to unwind after we come off….but who doesn’t!
If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
A never ending platter of Sushi, Jasmine Tea and Blue Powerade
Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
Jerrico – Great dudes who have created an amazing sound on all their releases. Furthermore they effortlessly translate that sound in the live setting to create an amazing experience for musician and punter alike. We’ve been lucky to know and play with these guys over the last couple of years, and it always feels like we’re catching up with close family when we see them.
What's your most essential item to take on tour?
Toiletries and items of hygene, definitely
What's your secret talent?
If I told you it wouldn’t be a secret…..but seriously……I guess one of the things that most people don’t know about me is that I have played the Viola for 20 years.
AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
They’re all pretty interlinked an kept relatively up to date, although I guess Facebook/Twitter seems to be the flavour of the month at the moment.
New Empire
Since their formation, the Sydney four-piece have constantly been experimenting and fusing different styles to create their original and powerful brand of music. New Empire's high energy and powerful live show combined with their heartfelt and honest music makes them one of Sydney's most popular new bands. Awoe magazine has described New Empire as "the essentials of the rock pop culture", and this is clearly echoed by thousands of music lovers across the country.
Forming in the late Summer of 2003, Euphoria Audio are a Rock/Popular band from Wakefield, UK. They have worked closely with producers Stuart Epps (Oasis, Robbie Williams, Jimmy Page) and Steve Levine (Culture Club, The Beach Boys), and most recently have recorded in Trondheim, Norway with Universals D-sign Music (Kylie Minogue, Joe Cocker).
In 2010 the band showcased at the Musexpo music conference in Los Angeles in front of world-wide delegates as well as a performance at the legendary Viper Room.
