what if they are opening ? or what are the like? I saw em at the BDO this year already and they rocked... PJ couldnt pick a better opening act in my opinion (apart from the strokes).

hmm. on further analysis, methinks the perth show will be between melbourne and adelaide. perhaps the 18th or 19th. strange order though.

i dont like to generalise but theyre a part of the sound that came out of the early part of the new millenium (the strokes etc.). theyre pretty good, the singer sounds a bit like roger daltrey of the who.

they could be described as stoner rock with a southern influence.. crazy solo's with a heavy 70's feel to the band and its vibe. they are from America dont thik they are that big in Australia but big in the UK and America. The are one of the better live bands going around. Check out their 2 top top albums (Aha Shake Heartbreak and youth and young manhood)... Couldnt see how they wont absolutely rock and warm up the crowd before pj burst onstage.

I gurantee KOL will get a few more fans after their dates opening 4 PJ here. Just like MMJ will when they open for the boys. Man they have picked great bands for the opening slots this year. 3 out of 4 opening acts are in my top bracket of fav bands.

Saw this in the rumour pit from September 2004.

"Q: I found the Euro breakdown of TC members in a recent Rumor Pit interesting - was wondering, how many Ten Club members are there in Australia and NZ?? in each South American country?
A: Aussie 1000, NZ 68, Brazil 71, Argentina 12, Chile 18"

How many do you guys think there are now considering some ppl may have let their memberships lapse and some newbs, like me.
