nice one dale!

won't be able to afford to attend though, especially being a tuesday night, but i hope it all goes well.

Wish we could make it cheaper for you Chris. Perth are paying $40000 more for Pendulum Live on a weekend date than Melbourne paid for Tiesto so a weeknight concert for $60 is the best we can muster given the expense and the INSANE light and sound tech rider. I don't think it will tone down the insanity of this night one bit. Pencil those sick days in early everyone.

This is the only thing Pendulum wise that interests me these days. Probably not enough to pay $60 to see em on a Tuesday night though.

I am sure the fluro kids will be out in force for this one, if Enchanted was anything to go by.

but they have school the next day...not sure folks will let em out 

Dude just say your staying at your mates house, get fucked up and catch the first train home. Just in time for school, but don't forget your large Corey sunglasses.

not your fault mate. completely understand the price.

i'm just very broke at the moment. wedding plans and building and all.

99% certain this will be an 18+ event. Honestly I don't like even having to worry about underage ravers and Enchanted is booze-free whereas I prefer booze-fests.

So no fluro kids- fluro adults maybe... the DAY AT THE BEACH crowd on Sunday were into the Pendulum Live thing. Believe me, thats not a bad thing. Man there was some talent out on Sunday let me tell you. Mix that crowd, the dnb crowd and Pendulum Live and you've really got something.

same. still love spinnin the pre-hold your colour rekkids but

will have to get to this for sure.

Sounds like an amazing show. And tuesday isn't too bad unless you actually plan on going to work the next day which really isn't worth the effort.

Wouldn't miss this to save my life. Really keen to see their live show.

Well we'll suss an afterparty venue for those who do take the next day off. Maybe somewhere unusual like Crown&Sceptre, Sugar, Rocket Bar, Electric Light, even Savvy. You get the vibe. We'll wind things up at a reasonable hour for those working though so don't worry too much.

I can tell you Pendulum turned down Big Day Out and Future Festival to do their own tour so they back their show in a big big way

i wont be there, but vote 1 rocket bar

Nice! 

Won't be missing this one.

If only this was a week later when I am on holidays and Peachey & Matt are back from Solomon Islands. I am sure this would've been right up their alley after 6 months away/not drinking.  Dang.

at least they wont be mixing doubt i'll check it still

id recommend people go and check it out. roni size and reprazent live was awesome, and i am pendulum will get the crowd moving. we may have all heard the tunes 100 times or more, but i think the live element will put an interesting twist on things.

set times?


 

ok that one has worn a bit thin

is it gonna be an el hornet dj set and then the live show?

Would be a bonus mate fo sho

Nice pay cheque for these boys, OH MY GOSH!!!

 

have they got one of the apollo 4 40 guys in there band?  vote 1 defcon warmup set.

I believe that honour will be falling to D'Jon. He's definately due.

heard that as well


And he would definately set a cracking pace for the night!!!!

spewing!!! i wont be here for this. 

as much as i dont choose to listen to pendulum much these days, (except for a few of the older ones which i still rate) i would still LOVE to see these guys live. i love live bands, i love dnb...lets mash it up!

get onto it peeps!!

correctamundo - paul kodish played drums for apollo 440 and is now the drummer in pendulum.

thats awesome! 

For anyone who didn't realise... this concert performance will coincide with the release of a new Pendulum album entitled "In Silico" that will be released in April. The set will feature all the new album material plus live reworkings of classic Pendulum tracks.

it's a cryin' shame... we'll be in Canada at the time. Keep us in mind for something come June-July though, Dale... we'd love to Winter Breakdown with you

It is a crying shame because I wanted to hit you up for a warm up set at this for something a little different. Since I'm already planning these elaborate screens and projectors and lighting. All good.

Def be an interesting show. I was at Thebby last night for Interpol. Made me wonder what types of number Pendulum Live could draw.

thats a pretty good question. what sort of scale is this show going to be? any idea on how many peeps your looking at getting to this dale?

You know what, early ticket sales to this have been way above my expectations so I'd be expecting a pretty heavy crowd to this event. Of the 500 $59 tix there are just over 300 remaining at this stage. Really unusual for DnB to sell tix early so there must be some fair crossover appeal happening.

Nice! Definately cross over appeal! heaps of friends don't dig D&B but are mad for Pendulum.

Are you serious?

Thats some crazy shit! Thats some big dollars... no wonder why goldie is hating it LOL

Im pretty sure the Melbourne Tiesto concerts are on 4 nights in a row though, and pretty much sold out for april shows. whereas pendulum will only play for one night

I know this is offtopic a lil but... (just a quick one...) does this mean that eclipse has looked into getting tiesto to Adelaide? Has anyone?

(haha I know people will bag me for that but I like trance and have been told by tommy Jnr & Jury that he was the best show they have ever seen in their life)

So the Shores hey?
Have to stay sober or get a driver cos that joints a bitch to when ya live so far away.
I was guessing Thebby looks like I was wrong again.

I don't know for sure but I'm pretty certain it isn't at The Shores.

Maybe it is there as an emergency option but the plan is for another venue which for the life of me I can't remember atm.

no doubt.

i would be guessing showgrounds, thebby or the like

oh okay, well its been announced on In the mix that its at the Shores. wil have to see though

looking forward to the goldie rmx of granite 

yeah its listed on their myspace as the shores too.

We looked into it, unfortunately they wanted the same fee for Adelaide as for Syd + Melb. You know what... he can afford to be that way because after the first day of sales all available dates were snapped for extra concerts in Melb and Brisbane. It sucks but at the same time, we can only do what is reasonable.

By the way, this event is not planned for THE SHORES, haha. If that was what we were after we'd have announced the venue already.

Personally I reckon the Thebby would be the way to go. Would be a big enough venue but not too big.

showgrounds on a tuesday night... for pendulum?

big call

I think showgrounds for pendulum is really excessive! actually it would be phenomenal! surely their not that popular?

oh yeah.

whoops.

You'd be surprised!

Put it this way... the more early ticket sales, the more we're going to throw at this so it's really up to everyone out there in a sense. I think 3 weeks max of secret location, 3 weeks at full price once venue and supports announced. Gives everyone time to speculate. Only elimination I'll specify at this stage is the Shores

Na I think showgrounds would be pushing it just a little bit. Same with entertainment center. My money is still on the Thebby.

A few bits of info...

-I believe the album hits shops the day before the event.
-Granite is the theme song for the new TV show UNDERBELLY on Channel 7.
-Triple J support and adds start on Thursday.
-Shaping up to be pretty huge

holy shit! nice work. sounds like the real deal. starting to get really excited and still such a log way away!!!

We're focused on a venue that is guaranteed to sell out prior to the gig... not somewhere with an unlimited capacity if that helps the speculations. Tix are moving strongly. Thinking probably 2 weeks til the $59 tix are sold through I'd say

They dropped Tarantula in the first episode, yes, I wouldnt quite call Granite the theme song tho...and its on ch 9 btw ;-)

one question, seeing its a live show, are you providing the sound and tech for em or are they bringing their own?

Surely a band of their caliber would bring their own?

i will go if they play vault

well i guess i should say big ups and congrats for eclispe for bringin this show, but i can garauntee i wont be there. pendulum shit me to tears! enjoy though people

The band bring a lot of their own equipment and have travelling techs. Novatech will be working on the sound, staging, screens etc etc just to put the setup way over the top.

Yeah I thought they would. Most large bands these days prefer to travel with their own techs who know the sound they want and how to get it. I would be interested to see Pendulum live but I'll have to see what happens.

Isn't that what I said? I was just pointing out to Erika that it wasn't a DnB show.

Or do you think it was?

So the style of stuff that was played at Enchanted, was that completely different to last night?

Just asking, as I have no idea about their newer stuff

They were on stage as a rock band playing both old and new stuff. Even with the old stuff they had added big guitar riffs, less repetitive drum beats and instead of computer generated basslines they were using a bass guitar. Obviously the tunes were structured the same as the original but they certainly didn't feel like DnB tunes. I don't think they played any of their early classics (Vault, Back to You, Spiral etc) but the Hold Your Colour era tunes definitely came across as a lot rockier.

I will admit that Fasten Your Seatbelt was really good and worked under the band format and Voodoo People wasn't too bad either although their remix had a lot of guitar and what not in it from the start.

Yeah Fasten you seat belts went down well. I guess that shows the potential for what they're trying to do.

so besides maybe a couple of people - who i knew had 2% chance of enjoying this and will therefore ignore - sounds like a good show. spewin i missed it actually

there'll always be a next time!

Thanks to Dale's generosity, I'm heading to the Melbourne gig tonight.

Looking forward to it, actually.

J, please don't involve NIN or PWEI in this thread/conversation/mess. 

Somebody who understands where I'm coming from. I didn't think that most of the people on here would have missed most of the bands you're mentioning.

aaah old people. you're so funny and old  You and Noddy are like the grumpy old dudes from the muppets that sit up in that little booth

no they're not, they say it because it's true.

The only thing pendulum are pushing to new levels is cheesedick, & taking young ppl for a ride (taking advantage of them not knowing any better).

Look, they tried D&B, got a taste of limelight & obviously want to become hero's for whatever reason. ego's out of control, probably. Money & drugged up underage roots, likely. They want stardom and found the d&b scene wasn't quite fulfilling their needs, as it is a niche in the grand scheme of things. So they go alternate routes, searching for what young ppl want to hear. What's cool atm for young ppl? emo, shit bands, myspace, etc... Young ppl go out, its the backbone of going out and the paying crowd. They weren't around to hear the pioneers of hybrid bands, & they have nothing to compare to. What they get is all they know and its the best thing ever to them, and i really feel sorry for everyone that gets suckered for this.

We're the ones that see this because we have the perspective of being around when it happened, call it old/grumpy all you like, it's 100000000% truth. you guys are fuelling their egos & pockets, thats all it is. You get nothing but a cheap show & the 'night of your lives' apparently. Until you get a bit older, mature musically and realise its as shit as we told you it was.

Aphrodite also springs to mind! And for some reason I have heard his tunes all over the place in the last week.
Never really been a big Pendulum fan. They have written some great tunes but IMO they have always been way over hyped. There are plenty of producers out there who write tunes to that standard. Good luck to them but I won't be listening.

Wow, talk about an act people will be divided over. Pure DnB heads are just slashing them and everyone else including your live Triple J crowd and the general raver crowd were blown away.

I had my reservations going in but I tell you man. They rammed that place out with positive vibe and it's pretty rare to see an electronic act that sparks genuine crowd surfing in HQ. If they want to cross-over and become rockstars, I think this new album and tour may just fascilitate the transition. Say what you will but that set was so meticulously arranged by Rob and watching him in particular in action working heaps of instruments and equipment as well as singing, I've gotta say "maybe becoming rockstars or at least taking a shot is warranted in this case"

One mans opinion, but they definately exceeded my expectations. I just want to see if their coming albums fulfil the potential they have.

Was there Crowd surfing at HQ?  To Pendulum?

Cam and I just looked at each other when that started and laughed.

All the stress of having to deal with a band tour manager etc etc just melted away because the proof was in the puddiung. I had to concede, maybe they are rock stars and I just need to get over the idea they are a few dudes from Perth. Honestly I reckon they have the potential to be huge.

 
I was just confused as I feel it was obvious... I wouldn't say it was a "dnb" show but I would say they played a live version of some dnb tunes...


They were live! of course it wont feel like produced dnb tunes on vinyl!

If you decided you wanted to move in the direction of a band and you decided to do a version of a produced tune would you not add in extra bits here and there for each of the instruments to fill it up in places? its seems natural really that that is what they would be doing, doing a Live show now!


Way off topic   but dont judge me   I bought Prodigy Experience when I was 13. Closer is one of my favourite Rock Tunes from Nine Inch Nails. Now I have unfortunately missed seeing both of them live for whatever reason that doesnt matter but that doesnt mean I dont know who you are talking about or dont like that music just cause I had a good time on Tuesday night. As I stated which you guys seem to keep missing I didnt buy the album I went along not knowing what it sounded like. I went along expecting a live version of stuff I have previously seen them play on vinyl. Let them ride the roller coaster while they can as if anyone else in the same position wouldnt travelling around the world playing music.



Exactly what I was trying to say - that the opinions seem to be based on the style of music you like initially.

I wish people on here could make constuctive critism instead of being so negative all the time. Fair enough you dont like an act but to say they are shit is like me saying your opinion is shit.  

I have footage of the night from when I actually recognised tunes because I literally couldn't move in the place and thought well hey why not everyone else seems to be filming plus I knew heaps of my friends would be interested in seeing it that didnt go. If anyone wants to see it I can upload it but it wont be for a little bit. The quality isn't too good as its on my digital picture camera but I do have proof of the crowd surfing.

Was heaps different to hear everyone shouting their name out repeatedly before they came out on stage - something you dont usually get an a dnb event.

I had a ball! Not necessarily my cup of tea but they had the place rammed and the vibe was crazy!

For the most part they were quite clean in Adelaide but yeah, at times they did go out. It was the levels that really ruined a lot of it for me. Obviously it was how they intended it to sound (why spend all day sound checking otherwise), but the bass was just way too much. It wasn't a pleasant sound for a number of tracks and it overpowered the other instruments. The only thing I can think of is they pushed the levels up to try and create more of a DnB style bass using the tradtional bass guitar and it just didn't work.

At the end of the day they weren't a bad live band, but they were no where near great.

Here we go  Noddy thats better constructive 

I agree with you on the levels  I was right at the front speaker and the bass dropped and my camera nearly vibrated out of my hand along with me out the door 

I guess some people may of liked that - me however I would like me ears so I can keep djing although I do love resonation it was a bit too much

 

If they keep selling records the way they do and selling shows out like they do I think they will keep doing what they do whether you like the sound or not someone at the moment obviously does.

and are you trying to tell me you wouldn't ride the roller coaster why you could just as these other so called "better" artists as you say did?

Whether they get off the ride or not good on em for getting to where they are now, for themselves, personally, if that is what THEY are wanting, being the ARTISTS!

Sure - Maybe not so much drum and bass sceme of things but really who cares? - Shouldnt WE the people who actually CARE about drum and bass be doing the things that push us into a new era of drum and bass - not the poeople who are moving onto a different sound.

I guess all we can do is wait and see what the next album is like...
Wow that is disrepectful!

I think when writing a review you should go in with an open mind and not expecting anything - I think the review goes not only on what the artists themselves played and how the played it but also whether the artists were enjoying themselves and also how many numbers in the crowd and how the crowd was reacting. Maybe the key to a good review is not necessarily to praise it or diss it but to look at it from all angles so you ge the genreal jist of how the event is. Not the jist of a certain someones biast or unbiast opinion.

I've been told I'm not allowed to be negative about gigs I get free tickets to, so...

ZOMG! This was teh AWESOME! Pendulum are teh GREATEST LIVE ACT EVA! My mind is exploded with how amazing awesomeness of them.

I'm getting my first tattoo that reads PENDULUM FOR LIVE!

 

OMG!

For someone who listened to nine inch nails and Apollo 440  you sure are sounding like youngin right now

As Erica said in another thread: really not going to bother. you have misinterpreted me in part though yes (you do that a lot). but a response from me will just mean you'll make a million more posts about something that means very little.

ah ha ha ha

I have much love for both of you kids!

Funny funny

However yes, I said my bit so thats that wont go on about it any more. It was just something I picked up on.

i think dale knew that me, rumble,noddy etc werent gonna like it and doesnt bother him the slightest that he gave free tickets and them saying that its crap   geez he had 1000 other ppl that did

promoters are use to ppl saying things are wicked then other peeps saying its shit its the whole part of doing shows

grooverider was shit last time and we all think the same thoughts but there was heaps of ppl still into it its a way of life with all gigs

This is the last I'm going to say about this:

Although personally I don't think thanking Dale publicly for tickets is bragging about it in the slightest, I'm appreciative of the tickets from all the promoters I know.

But I'm not going to change my opinions nor my actions based on whether stuff is free or not.

If Dale, or any other promoter had a problem with that, I would never get the tickets in the first place.

Wow Erika, you never cease to amaze me with the rubbish you type on literally a daily basis. Do you think at all before you type?

Have you thought that some of us take free tickets because we are interested to see what they're like? I didn't know in advance without seeing them live ever before that they weren't going to be very good. I found that out by going and watching them. Nobody has been disrespectful to Dale in here. Not once has the event itself been bagged, only Pendulums performance.

By your reckoning, every movie, concert, album etc reviewed in any magazine or newspaper should get 5 stars and a glowing review no matter how bad it is. I mean, the person got it for free and anything other than positive reports would be disrespectful.

Im not saying I want a whole heap of positive reports, I was just saying that it came across the Julian didnt really appreciate the fact that he got a free ticket at all.

Anyways Im dropping the subject now. I guess you guys might get tickets for free on a regular basis its not that much of a big deal for you.

But for me, a paying punter, if I got a free ticket I would think "wow this is such a bonus" so I see it in a different light and appreciate it in a different way.

Do you guys get what Im saying now?

Exactly. I havent bought the new album cause I dont like it. I went cause I wanted to see what they would be like to make judgement for myself. You dont see me here praising them for their show but I am giving the 2 thumbs up for going and doing what they love and obviously its successful at the moment cause the numbers show it at the moment.

Thing is some people take things for granted once it becomes a regular thing. Its unfortunate but true. I had a wicked time. It was a good event. Not necessarily my taste but I had fun due to the vibe.

There is a way to say things repsectfully while still getting your point across whether it be positive or negative without sounding jealous or like a complete fool getting on their high horse for the sake of it.

Ok everybody, less whining and more talking about the night.

Whether you liked it or not, everybody is entitled to their own opinion.

If you have nothing worthwhile to say in here, then get out.

I'm sick of sifting through crap to find comments about the actual night.

Thankyou

julian does write reviews for street press though, so why should he say the show was unbelievable when he's always been completely honest about what he thinks?

i think he is entitled to say what he thinks of an act as much if not more than most on this board.

he's seen hundreds of bands/groups than anybody else here without question. his opinion on music generally means more to me personally than just about anyone on this board (barring dnb) because he's seen just about every act in the world he has ever wanted to see.

everybody is entitled to their opinion here.

I tried to give comments about the night but that doesnt seem to be allowed judging by some of the responses.

I guess I just have higher standards than others which makes it difficult for me to force myself to enjoy something which really isn't that good. I guess if the rest of the sheep are happy with the grass they're eating then why shouldn't I just tuck in and enjoy it, even though I think the grass is off. No disrespect to the farmer though. He has provided me with a lovely farm to live on - unfortunately the grass isn't as good as it used to be and I'm the kind of sheep who is rather fussy about what I chew when out in the paddock. Big ups to the farmer though - you have always been good to me plus the rest of the sheep are really happy with your grass which is the main thing. I love your other fields though and your hay is always top notch. Will just stick to eating there in the future.

Baaaaaaaah baaah

True that but personally...


Again just my opinion...

Exactly what I said

Ok now back to Pendulum

Im just gonna say I love you all ! Lets hug.

Damage control  

I didnt mean to cause so much controversy. I was hoping that people would just appreciate a free ticket a lil more, i wasnt bagging their opinions!

ok moving on tell me more

what about the locals, did anyone see the locals? Were the Locals DnB styles

Thankyou Josh i really enoyed reading this comment I do love a good analogy

Me to and I agree and what a much nicer way to say it 

Hi All

I went to pedulum the other night not sure what to expect?
i walked out of there with a workmate overwhelmed with the performance that pendulum put on.
i really enjoyed the show and though the audio and lighting was great as well.
I hope they come back again soon.

troll

 

yep. fair enough. but as a reviewer, he's been given free tickets solidly for the past 10 or more years. i'm sure every review to these shows haven't been, wow that was fantastic, i'm so glad i went. If you don't like something, you don't like it.

i'd rather hear a honest review that actually was honest, than one that has been tainted because the promotor gave them a free ticket personally.

he also did say thankyou to dale before he actually saw the show too. to me that is appreciation. he's just big enough to speak the truth afterwards, which i think is the best thing to do.


*hugs all round for sure though*

I certainly didn't expect anything but negative reviews about Pendulum Live from Noddy and Julian, haha,

They were wicked though. Won me over.

Either did I personally 

I just get negative about negativity thats all 

There is a way to say things so people will listen and take it in instead of jumping on the defensive and it turning more negative

I think the next installment of pendulum will be interesting whether it be good or bad... Good on em.

 

Man that all hurt my head. Is it just me or were shitloads of quotes from posts that weren't there?

All I will add to this is I was driving through the Barossa yesterday and a Pendulum tune came on Triple J. It almost forced me into a vineyard with it's crappiness.

julian took his posts down because he got flamed for them tony.

i thought they were alright.

me personally im not a fan of their newer stuff but i thought their song propane nightmares sounded good live. (on vinyl this tune sux balls, i hate it, but i could see how theyve progressed into making their sounds to play out as a band/)

if anything it gave me a fresh look at the pendulum sound and i got into the show a little.

time will tell if they become big in the pop world no point trying to predict the future .

props to eclipse for doing the gig and to pendo for giving it a shot.

so rob broke his foot last night, not even trying to be a rockstar!!

damnit now i don't get to read the bad review, way to ruin it for the rest of us *shakes fist*
