CHRISTCHURCH, come on we had a frickin EARTHQUAKE! COME ON!

doompony

also hear you on the 7wc OMG IS ED GONNA BE THERE thing... but mine is different.

we knew about the possibility of 7WC 1 containing some hot ed action but it hadn't been announced. meanwhile neil was doing the orientation week tour for all the unis and he had a different band for each night. wires got crossed and it was suggested that the different band for every night would have a different rockstar import each night.

that rumour got shunted out of the way once talk of the actual 7WC came up, but my god that didn't stop people at the shows from staring at the wings, wondering....


hoping...

topaz

yea we're a hopeful bunch, that's what got us into this fuckin Ed solo mess in the first place!!

I agree, South Island has had THE SHITTEST year. We all feel your pain down there. You needs an Ed Ved concert, yes?

I'd be there quicker than you can say my-best-mate-lives-in-waimate

now they're onto Johnny Guitar in berlin. I can play JG on the guitar. Accoustic even. I'm sure it is a sight to behold

(really shouldn't be watching live footage when I'm still feeling the burn of no concerts)

nah Ms Pony there must be some good gigs in Wellytown over the summer, surely? Lots of kiwi bands doing the rounds....shall we just pack up our bundles and go see Blondie? or I heard a rumour of Joe Cocker, fuck I"d looove to see him (i'm deadly serious in case someone thinks i'm being sarcastic, the album "happy" is leg-en-dary)

can't buy what I want because it's free....right?

doompony

nothing is springing to mind. sufjan stevens is coming but its expensive and i only really know one album...

im hoping julia deans will play heaps over summer since she's relocated to auckland for the summer.

liam finn must be due a tour soon. he hasn't since barb played the liam and ej are having a baby tour.

Iv almost finished sulking about Ed. Give me a few more days, the perfect cure would be a concert to look foward too. Even a gig, but thats very unlikely seeing as Kaitaia dosent even have a music venue anymore, so it has to be something worth driving 6 hours to auckland for. I just NEED a concert so bad, I'm getting worried because I know Foo Fighters will probably come here on there next tour but that will be probably a year or more away. HOW WILL I SURVIVE WITHOUT A CONCERT?!
Slash promised he was coming back here but his tour scedule looks pretty full and theres no NZ dates on it :(

Joe Cocker is touring with George Thorogood but they're only playing in Napier and Waipara as far as I know.

doompony

i wish i had friends who loved live music. tonight lawrence arabia is playing and he is fucking dreamy. but work nights aren't good nights for concerts if you hope to survive the next day. i also wouldn't mind seeing hollie smith, but i only know a couple of songs.

PKNZ

Agreed, and the West Coast miners, a very bad year for the South Island.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the U2 gig, and how it actually helped ease my live-music cravings. True! It really did. I bet Kaitaia gets about as much live music as Dargaville does I kid you not, our local DJ's name is DJ Jandal, need I say more?

I am going to go and see Katchafire + Blackseeds, then have BDO. I'm really looking forward to BDO this year, not least cause Iggy and the Stooges are headlining, they are some legends that I definitely want to cross off my 'legends I have seen live' list. A good BDO will cure anyones live-music withdrawals!

Still not a Eddie Vedder concert though is it. Especially not a 1500 people Eddie Vedder concert. How fuckin amazing would that be?? sigh

doompony

i saw iggy at the last bdo i went to. was it the last? eh. they all blur together after a while.

Dj Jandal? Thats so lame hahaha. Kaitaia is SOO boring, we dont even have a movie theatre!

Hmm.. no its not.. but I'm sure BDO will be cool. I'm not going though.
Concert announced today, Stone Temple Pilots... Hmmmm might have to think about that, I do like them its just that Scott Weiland creeps me out a bit haha

gersno1

sucks.

:(:(

Eddie. Stop. Being. So. Meantous!!!!!!!! eeeeee! all we ask is for one show! Just one! From aus that could mean as little as 2 extra days

it's like he's in the house next door, very frustrating

doompony

he just kicked the puppy that is nz :(

lostrocker815

Today I was like "OK ED, I FORGIVE YOU" and then I see the other shows announced

I never got replies to my emails to 10/C and Chugg either.

DAMN THE WORLD!

I hope this is all down to the promoters and not eddie being mean. :(
I wish they'd listen to the fans like Metallica did. THEY CAME TO NZ TWICE IN the space of a month for FOUR shows and that was with heaps of gear, massive stage ect..

doompony

let's not forget the pixies who came to nz for the first time ever this year for one show.. saw ticket demand was insane... added another show.. then enjoyed themselves so much they came back later in the same year.








oh eddie.

doompony

katy perry is coming to nz in between her aussie shows.

and she's a completey talentless tart.

CMON!

doompony

another adelaide show..


*twitches*

doompony

funnily enough my mum and dad will be in adelaide when ed is there.

if they see him i'm sure they'll wag their fingers disapprovingly for not lovin' on nz.

topaz

doompony

:(

lostrocker815

I've also forgiven Eddie. Just.

doompony
