It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

They were here in 2009 for a festival tour but I didn't go so my first time seeing them. Not sure if they were here before 2009 though.

And all the best bands come to Sydney. We're a truly international city. Like London, but on the other side of the world and really far away from everywhere important...and we're not the capital of the country. :oops:

Anyone remember this classic from the early 80's by The Boomtown Rats, really surprised it didn't do better in the charts than it did:-

I've listened to a bit of King Crimson in the last couple of months.

Really like "In the Court of The Crimson King" and "21st Century Schizoid Man".

What artists you into Sam?

Saw mystic valley band about a year ago and they're good. You listen to monsters of folk?

Yeah I went to Cardiff to see Monsters of Folk, was waiting to get the train back to London as the band strolled into the station, all genuine guys, Conor was suprisingly nice.
I'm a huge Bright Eyes fan! :barscarf:

Conor Oberst should be releasing the last ever Bright Eyes album later this year/early 2011 - be good to see them live again.

I listened to some Bright Eyes on Youtube - I didn't want to say that it was shit before I had even listened to it 8)

It was shit :lol:

Nah, not really shit, but just too passive and inward. I don't know the band, but I think that they must have been played a few times in these teen American/regular dramas to convey lost/estranged love, or lost/strange people.

:wink:

I would never recommend them to anyone as they're certainly an acquired taste!

He hasn't got a great voice, the music isn't polished at all, and it's all a little depressing - but I like it! 8) :-P

Radiohead are pretty fantastic too, by the way :wink:

You see, I like Radiohead... :barscarf:

Maybe Bright Eyes are just too folksy, and not depressing enough for me :shock: :x :)

Here's a video of the gig I was talking about!

I've just set up a youtube channel for the art venue I'm working for:
