 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!

Yves Klein Blue announce national tour dates

Yves Klein Blue return from their recent overseas jaunt to play SOLD OUT shows in Sydney and Melbourne next week as a special sneak preview of their highly anticipated debut album ‘Ragged & Ecstatic’.

It seems YKB can’t get enough of being on the road, announcing a national Australian tour throughout late June and July to celebrate the release of the album. Having just made our US and UK counterparts take notice of their classic intonation and danceable indie jive, Yves Klein Blue are poised to bring their live presence to Australian audiences from Ballarat to Toowoomba!

“Keep an eye on this one folks, they're going to be huge!” The Modern Leisure

Piano tinkling tune, ‘Getting Wise’ has been hitting the Australian airwaves of late, jumping onto rotation at alternative radio, whilst the international buzz continues to build in the UK with the band being added to the XFM and BBC Radio 6 playlists.

"...a quirky indie rock band with a penchant for tightly-wound rhythms and striking guitar fury." PastePunk

Yves Klein Blue played packed out shows at The Great Escape in Brighton, UK to a room jammed full of industry and fans, with whispers of potential European tours spreading as soon as the band stepped off stage.

Catch Yves Klein Blue on their national ‘Ragged & Ecstatic’ Tour of Australia in June and July 2009 culminating in a performance at Splendour In The Grass.

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
Probably a few pushups, some weights, sit-ups, stretches and just amping up. We like to keep fit so we get pumped before a show working out.

If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
The same thing I always ask for…Orange Gatorade and American chocolate, it’s the best!! (So no portable Jacuzzi??) nah man…but it might be from now on!!

Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
Two from Memphis hard ass rocking bands…Cavo and Sawash…check em out

What's your most essential item to take on tour?
My computer man…..I can escape, work, communicate or whatever. I need my computer everywhere I go!!

What's your secret talent?
HAHAHAHAH….I don’t have one….I like to cook but I’m not real good!

AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
All of em, we use all of them. We have both personal and Shinedown Facebooks, Myspace and Twitter and we are on them all the time…obsessively…
