BDO Lineup 2008

[carcharias]

Tim Rogers = sh*t
RATM would be awesome to see but the rest is pretty meh-ish, altho hilltop would be ok and some old grinspoon songs are good.
I was keen for Smashing Pumpkins, as was the rumour

Based on what?

 

[Misanthrope]

Listen to "How to Make Gravy" before you say anything.

One of my favourite songs of all time. I play it to death everytime Christmas rolls around.

Hilltop Hoods would be good, but Tim Rogers is sh*t?

*Head explodes*

Tim Rogers is god.

First announcement..

Rage Against the Machine, Bjork, Grinspoon, Arcade Fire, Hilltop Hoods, Billy Bragg, Paul Kelly, LCD Soundsystem, Sarah Blasko, Faker, Midnight Juggernauts, Dizzee Rascal, Something With Numbers, Battles, Cut Off Your Hands..

*YAWN*

Not much happening there. Haven't listened to RATM since high school. Bjork has a few good songs but i don't think BDO is really her scene, but who knows. The local acts I've all seen before.

 

[hineyrulz]

Besides Rage the rest of that list is pretty Meh, but i will still be there as usual.

 

[skeepe]

The good:
Rage Against The Machine, Bjork, Grinspoon, Billy Bragg, Paul Kelly, Hilltop Hoods, Dizzee Rascal, Something With Numbers, Faker, Battles

The bad:
Midnight Juggernauts, Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, Sarah Blasko, Cut Off Your Hands

Good leading the bad so far, IMO.

 

[Red Bear]

Not much a fan of tim rogers music personally, can see its ok but not my cup of tea

 

[keeney]

Everyone who is bitching already should blow it out their ass. When does BDO have 3 such solid international acts announced in the first wave. This will be the best BDO since 05.

 

[CC_Eagle]

This is probably the best first BDO announcement in maybe a decade?

QOTSA? KOL? Why not just trot out Foo Fighters and make a it another predictable boring BDO...

Thank f*** they are doing something different.

It's probably the best in recent memory. I'm already seeing Rage and KOL in January

Really looking forward to TAF.

QOTSA would be awesome! Would be great if Josh brought Jesse Hughes along for some EODM side shows too ;-)

"I saw two shooting stars last night, i wished on them, but they were only sattelites!
Is it wrong to wish on space hardware?"

argh, can not wait.

 

[Bazal]

Arcade Fire, Grinspoon and Something With Numbers are the only ones I'd bother with from that lineup, and two of those I can see for 35 bucks or less...

 

[Alex28]

Arcade Fire will be doing side shows with LCD Sound System - apparently at the Hordern.

Anybody that doesn't rate Arcade Fire has pretty average taste in music. They will be the absolute highlight of the festival. Mark my words.

 

[CC_Eagle]

Agreed.

If I wasn't seeing Rage beforehand I'd say they would be the highlight. But AF will be the standout.

I don't really like their new album, but Funeral is great.

They are okay, i don't see what all the hype is about though.

Sydney BDO sold out already... I got online at 9:06 and couldn't get any tickets. Bastards.

 

[Red Bear]

I got my ticket, logged into ticketmaster and clicked on BDO as the time ticket to 9 am
was pretty easy.
Didnt know the website was selling at f**king 12 am tho

[skeepe]

[Samwise]

Hmm, so the tickets are going on sale at 12am? I'm getting Gold Coast ones tomorrow. Should i stay up and do it tonight?

 

[skeepe]

I'll just have to see if I can get Melbourne tickets now I guess.
