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.

Teen sensation, Justin Bieber heads to Australia!
Can you hear the screams of young teenage girls? That's probably because they've just heard that new teen sensation Justin Bieber is heading to our shores in April.
The 16-year-old Canadian native soul-singer is making the girls scream over his sweet smile and even sweeter voice.
Justin became the first solo artist ever to have four songs from a debut album in the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 40 prior to its release and the first solo artist ever to have seven tracks from the same album in the Hot 100 at the same time. Justin has over 144 Million streams on his YouTube channel, over 1.8 Million fans on Facebook and over 1.2 followers on Twitter.
From April 25 Justin’s Australian fans will have their chance to scream (and scream they will) as he heads down under for a promotional visit.
On April 23 Justin’s My World Australia Edition album will be released consisting of 19 tracks including “One Time”, “Favourite Girl” and “Baby”.
Fans can visit his new Australian website www.justinbieber.com.au where they can upload their photo to Justin’s Australian FAN WALL which will be included in the artwork of My Worlds Australian Edition. They will receive a free track instantly and can also leave a comment and post the link to their photo on facebook and twitter to show off to everyone they know. Fans that pre-order the album will go into the draw to play Xbox 360 with Justin in Sydney when he is here in April.

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
Turbo stretching! Haha. There’s a lot of loud music, posing in front of mirrors, pushups..basically preparing for war. Beer and Red Bull are very welcome, but you aren’t, so I’ll see you at the bar, post gig.
If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Beef carpaccio, Red Bull and a few virgins
Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
Thin Lizzy. Twin guitars, cool lyrics, memorable melodies and a very charismatic deceased front man. It’s all good
What's your most essential item to take on tour?
My song book. Inspiration could hit at any time. A melody, a lyric, a song title. The coolest songs are the ones you bring home from tour. You know they’ve been inspired by a time and place that not everyone gets to experience. Oh, and lube.
What's your secret talent?
Charm. We may look like rat-bags, but behind the brazen exterior are four pretty well bred, articulate gentleman. (Is that a talent?)
AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
Our myspace page has links to all other pages. So from there, you can connect on whichever medium you prefer. Twitter and Facebook pages will also keep you constantly updated and very much connected with the band.
Down With Webster
Down With Webster a 7-member, genre-bending, musical juggernaut draws on disparate influences to create a wholly original musical feast. Their chaotic live shows are the stuff of local legend, selling 1000+ tickets as headliners in their hometown of Toronto as an indie band before ever releasing a single or video.
The band writes, produces and performs all of their music, garnering attention from industry veterans as varied as Timbaland and KISS front man Gene Simmons, both of whom wanted to sign the band to their respective labels. DWW won the Rogers Mobile/Universal Music best unsigned artist in Canada contest in 2008.
