he's about the only bloody act doing a sideshow in adelaide if this is true.

still though, don't care, reckon i've seen him 3 times in the last 3-4 years anyway.

he's wicked, but i can't be bothered atm with acts i've seen a few times already...

almost positive they aren't.

like i said. pretty much nobody is coming here that is playing at that festival (or any of the festivals around that time).

it really gives me the shits. adelaide is the only capital city these days that acts just don't seem to bother coming too on their own. on jjj they always say that groups are doing a national tour. by national though, they mean brisbane, sydney, melbourne and perth. fuck off!

they get falls festival though. icon_cry

it's really shit the situation adelaide is in atm. when we do get the bigger festival's to come to adelaide, they put them on the worst day possible (sunday's and monday's if it's a long weekend) and get half the numbers they would if they were on the day before. then they don't think adelaide has the numbers for such events and completely overlook us for future shows. most sideshows of these festivals that tour adelaide also seem to be here on monday, tuesday or wednesday nights as well and again wonder why they can't attract the numbers they were in melbourne that previous friday/saturday night.

seriously annoys me.

yeah that's right, two pages BEFORE page 11, you dirty pervs  :lol:

also its on the electric light hotel website
www.electriclighthotel.com

you'll find he's playing a few shows other than splendour and parklife, and he plays in HOBART ( yeah i thought that wasn't tassie either : E  ) tonight with J-live.

for those who can't be bothered clicking any further ( invent a "mind-mouse" then  :E )

its $45 or $50 on door, Lyrics Born with a FULL 5 piece band ( 6 if you include Lyrics Born himself ), no idea what dj's are playing

try www.myspace.com/TrentSlingshot for more tour info.

I'm lucky, my sister has GIVEN me a ticket to go, I didn't even have to call electric light's manager or anything and i'm honest enough to admit that.
 
I haven't seen him perform before so this will a new thing for me. I'm looking forward to it :) !!!!

Well it was a great show, never seen the guy perform before but he was very relaxed and flowed from song to song, usually three tracks in a row then a little break.
   The band came out and performed an encore of at least 5 or 6 songs, the drummer was keeping the sound tight as, the bass player kept it pounding the strings so much that people could feel it right up the other end of the room.
   I noticed a few classics, a few new ones and a few i haven't heard before... and a great crowd for a wednesday too, the band and lyrics born bought their Cali sunshine with them,
thanks !!!
