Pendulum LIVE - Fri Oct 29 @ Adelaide Entertainment Centre

The D&B anthem makers turned mainstream electronic rock crossovers have sold over a million records with their albums Hold Your Colour, In Silico and their latest chart hit Immersion, which features the singles Watercolour and Witchcraft. Anyone who has witnessed the Pendulum live show will know their show is where the punters go ape shit for the entire set and where moshing is favoured over dancing in your own space.

Frontier members can get presale tickets on Wed Jun 30 at 2pm EST.

Tickets for the general public go on sale at 9am on Thu Jul 1.

Tickets are available from ticketek.com.au. The show is all-ages.

 Supports are yet to be announced but the big question on everyone’s lips is whether Adelaide’s own Prentendulum will be on the bill (actually they’ll probably play an after party somewhere).

they can't afford us

Well, I know where I won't be on this date.

Wow Entertainment Centre. Sign of where they're at now I guess. It's not any of the usual promoters either probably is it.

 

"The D&B anthem makers turned mainstream electronic rock crossovers"



lol there's a title to be fkn proud of

pendulol

i rekon im gonna go to this. despite all the hate [jealousy] that they get, im diggin their sounds more today than ever. i like the fact that they are playing as a live band, that shit cant easy one bit

i'm gonna check em out too. wasn't here when they did the bdo tour so looking forward to seeing the live show.

read that article in onion but says there that they are playing enter centre theatre(the new smaller bit)

sweet, have been keen to see what that venue is like, have heard good things.

I lol'd

I don't like Pendulum crap.
but LIVE !
That does it fpr me !
 
 
 

 

 

 

What pendulol crap dont you like?  Personally I found their music ten times better before the live band popped onto the scene.

Liquid is my choice !
 

I dont get it?

Get what ?
Liquid ???

that you dont like pendulum crap but enjoy their live stuff with you liking liquid being the reason?

maybe I have missed something but none of that makes sense to me.

hahahahahah your funny khem

I can not figure it out either.... overuse of smileys too

all i did was copy and paste their blurb... i didnt write anything...

that was pendulums blurb??

its still funny

why?  its pretty accurate

think i copied it from itm, cant remember now...

is this sold out?? i cant seem to buy a tix online

looks like it mate... when you go to buy a ticket it says: Allocation Exhausted

Yeah it's sold out. One of my mates on Facebook was asking "who forgot to buy their ticket" because there is none left...

*Points at Khem*

Haha you went to buy a ticket.

Pendulover

 

 

was just testing it for jase, honest...

no shit

spewing, woulda been a mad show i rekon

sold out?


wow.

its not actually in the enter centre is it? just the new part which only holds a few thou

correct, this is in the smaller part of the venue, not the actual arena. guess it just looks good when they say they "sold out the entertainment centre".
shame its still the live stuff, i'd heard they were going back to their roots a bit and doing the dj thing again, but apparently not. i'd kill to see el hornet hose out any club with a decent sound system again. he's so fucking talented, and now its like hes been pushed to the back with this live shit. 

imho the only good thing about it all is that it puts dnb in the mainstream a bit more, and thus in the public eye, which in turn hopefully means that people who find they have a taste for dnb (even pendulum live) will get in touch with good old fashioned underground shit. i don't like what they are doing these days but in a way the genre as a whole can benefit from the exposure. 

el hornet is in no way part of the live band. he still does a shit load of dj sets.

i'm pretty sure they won't give a shit about saying "we sold out the entertainment centre in adelaide" considering they play to huge crowds all over europe.


they have gone back to their roots with the new album, much more of a dnb influence then in silico. thats what they meant about going back to their roots, not that they'd be giving up the band and going back to dj-ing. the band is the main thing that makes them stand out imo. i'd much rather go see the band then go see them "dj" or whatever it is they do now.

im thinking another lot of tix should be released soon. the first lot gauges the popularity for the gig

I saw the poster the other day and there's like 7 dudes on there with 6 all small and one dude massive and up the top - which one is that?

How come El-Hornet isnt part of the live band? isnt he one of the 3 main Loldulum dudes?

 

Afterparty will be better!

Siiiiiic will attend 

Well, I just wasted 5 minutes watching your avatar lol.

It's a nice way of saying they sold out I suppose.

Shouldn't this event be in the other category now not DnB?

not really. they still predominantly make dnb.

i rekon i heard something years ago that pendulum didnt even listen to dnb when they brought out their first album, dunno if thats true but also dunno if you could say they've "sold out". I dont think they give a rats ass what the dnb punters think of them, they do what they want and you/we either like it or hate it... most of its still dnb and i think they've done amazing things for the dnb scene over the world by becoming more "commercialized". im seeing dnb spread in the barossa amongst the younger gens and they have all been lured by producers/bands like Pendulum and The Qemists from their rock/metal preferences (not implying that The Qemists are in the same classification as Pendulum either...) but ya cant submit the average 18-21 yo person to MOST of the dnb out there straight up, they just dont like it. its not everyones cup of tea, probably even more so on this forum, but because some may not like/agree with a style of music doesnt make it wrong. except aussie hip hop thats just crap bahaha (uh oh  )

Either way, they were a shitty band before they started making DnB and they're a shitty band again now they've stopped.

Would rather see the drummer by himself tbh.

they only started learning to play instruments a few years ago from what i understood anyway.

maybe they were in a school band.

im pretty sure they all used to be part of different heavy metalish bands way before they formed pendulum. you cant sit here and say they are shit now, thats just jealousy i rekon. they wouldnt have made it as big as they are if they were shit at what they do. if you dont like their style of dnb/electro, then dont listen to it, because its far from shit

with all that said i still dont think id enjoy seeing them in a concert/live type show such as this. bring back the dj sets

It's classic Aussie tall poppy bashing. Sure you may not like what they do now but don't knock the achievements and amazing stuff they did in the past, not least making a big contribution to putting Australia firmly on the D&B map.

Funnily enough, my aunt-in-law from Perth (she's 2 years older than me ) is good friends with Shock1 who in turn is mates with the Pendulum guys. Apparently they were in a metal band (a bad one) before they started making electronic stuff.


It's because I think they're shit, which I'm fully within my rights to think. It's not because I'm jealous of them, it's because I think the music they make now is shit. Understand?

I'm happy to admit that I liked Hold Your Colour and the stuff they brought out before that. Why? Because I liked it.

In short, I can think what I want and if you don't like, I don't give a fuck.

Woah, woah, dial it down a notch there pardner!

I wasn't directing anything at you, but a general rant at all the various people who make snide comments like Pendulol and vent their "superiority" by saying how much they suck yet were probably on the dancefloor brocking out to Vault like the rest of us 6 years ago!

I'm a proud Aussie and think it's fantastic that fellow Aussies are making such a big name across the world regardless of the circumstances. Eg. Lleyton Hewitt, I think he's a dick but I'm as proud as many others when he was doing well and representing Australia.

Another example I can think of recently is seeing a well-known IT message board constantly bagging that Kogan guy for all the cheapie rebadge items he sells. The fact he was savvy enough to recognise a demand in the consumer market and become a millionaire before the age of 27 is highly commendable in my eyes. Are his products crap? Probably...

Same with Pendulum. Is their music crap now? Probably...

Just don't knock them for having a go and being successful at it.

Although it was a reply to a quoted post of yours, the last part was more a broad statement of my thoughts on... well, my thoughts.

I don't like something because it's popular and I don't dislike something because it's popular. When it comes to music, if it sounds good, I'll listen to it.

correct.  the band gave me a lift home from a rave, and "I" was the hero then hahahaha

sounds like theres another big name to be announced for the after party.

shockone, sigma, upbeats...? im already sold but keep em coming

it wont be sigma and upbeats, they're in oz early december

There is a massive name coming for the afterparty, hmm I wonder...

also in response to earlier, they 'discovered' dnb about 2001 after seeing Fresh play in Perth. They def listened to it before making the album. They def could play instrumernts before first album.

Reality is whilst they might be at the cheesy end of dnb they have the best quality production dnb has seen, nearly all dnb producers will agree with that. Say what you like about their music, that's just personal taste, but the production is supreme.

I saw them a couple of years ago at the BDO and thought they were quite average.

The drummer is definitely underrated in that band for sure. KJ Sawka can drum 1000 times better that what pendulol ask him to play. Id go crazy if I was him being made to play the same beat over and over again.

I think you will find that most drummers in bands play the same tunes each night...

I should have said 'same simple beat' then.

KJ can play way better than what they ask of him, thats what I meant

lets get KJ out for a solo one man drum show. 

now i will bash the drums at a random rate and you will dance like you have a broken leg

I dance like that anyways 

ill second that

Just confirmed, DJ set at HQ with MC Verse and Shock One right after!!!

oh look out! big night coming up!

powderfinger is gonna be painful the next day

Massive gig. Hq will be rammed just like andy was earlier in the year.

will it be pre sale tix like andy?

no presale.  doors open at 9 to let everyone who missed out on tix for the live show get in first

Have one ticket to sell to Ent Centre gig. Anyone interested? Offers?

Any idea on prices and set times?

$100. Dont know what set times are. Usually 10pm for main act

i would get there b4 10 if you wanna see all of their show

I just got two free tickets to pendulum, and all i have to do in return is write a 400 word review.
lol
i'm feeling extremely divided about what to do. i would of considered myself back in the day as one of pendulums biggests fans and i had gone to every drum and bass show they played at in adelaide while being a drum and bass group. and for me their new style of music does not really tickle my fancy.

any thoughts

1. Sell Tickets
2. Profit!??!

thats an anwesome idea
i wont offer them to any of the broke ass internet do gooder community but im sure there are people with less the perfect principals with money in their wallett who are gunna be out front of the show.

anyways

1, do i go and write a review on the show as i saw it objectivly (as will be possible anyway)
2, from the pov of a drum and bass head who has followed them from their days playin at traffic. and never missed one of their dnb gigs while they still called themselves a dnb group
3, from the pov of a hater lol

go, you should love it.


i'm a total hater nowadays, but i reckon it'd be an awesome gig.

yeah i was not expecting to go at all if anything i was gunna scoot along to the afterparty.

but ill try hang up my hating gloves for the evening and give it a go.
if its a shit show i should have no issues pushing my distain around a page for the 400words.
 
worst comes to worst jagermeister will get me over the line.  

i just got told the first act is at 8pm and pendulum are playing at 9:15.

guess the new crew have to be home before midnight lol

it's probably got more to do with the venue.... plus they have the after party as well

Yeh I was talking hq. Everyone seems to be discussing that in here. So I thought I'd ask in here.

sound system, sickness
lightshow, awesome
tunes
     - new tunes = shit
     -older tunes, ruined
atmosphere, it was pretty good (minus the teeny bopping lil hoes haha)

i dunno, kinda what i expected to be honest.
i has disapointed how they ruined their old songs by playing it live and singing and improving where no such thing was required.
theres alot to be said for smashing two tunes together then rewinding them then making the crowd go spastic with a massive double drop. and that cannot be done without turntables on stage.
the pendulum i remember did just that so very well. and they are so far gone from those days i really dont think its right to continue marketing themselves under that name.

mind you 90% of the people in their were goin off but how were they to know what they were listening to was butchered to within an inch of recognition if all they have to go by is their last two albums.
thats my  anyway

Was that 400 words?

wow you are more jaded than me!

i'm guessing you are thinking of el hornet cos back in the day the other 2 were pretty crap dj's... speed's set that afternoon at enchanted after high contrast was fucking horrible

i thought it was a great show

im gunna have to elaborate a lil glock but thats the jist of it lol
i dunno maybe they will let me copy paste that like 3 times 

jaded ad fuck definatly seems to be the case

and dubbd yeah definatly thinkin of el hornet, whenever pendulum were in town without him it was an average set for sure.

if i had not been going to their shows since 04 and maybe started to like them 07/08 i might be a bit more understanding.
i guess it all comes down to expectations, and the pendulum yardstick for me was hearing them drop vault and spiral down at traffic closely followed by the first time i heard voodoo people at earth after lining up for 2 fookn hours.

 

what a crap review.

i thought they were great.  Slam went off, I loved the amen switch up in there.
KJ Sawka was nuts, not to over the top like some people may have expected but just dropping little rolls and stuff here and there.
All the new stuff sounded better than the Hold Your Colour tunes but thats because they were made to play live and dont have as much sample based elements in there.
ABC Theme was the juice!
