Big Day Out 2014– Aust&NZ– Pre-partys, Travel Info&Roll Call

Blind3

Flew to Australia in 2005 . Found it wasn't the jet lag on the the way to Oz that got me, but the early onset Post Pearl Jam Tour Depression Syndrome on the return home.

Scared I would be in "Like a Boss" without any fans there.

I'm scared I would be in "Like a boss" with great toilets but a crap view.

GC BDO has always had enough toilets when I've needed them.

I don't actually really know Mudhoney. I saw them at PJ20 of course & must have brushed up on them a bit before that but actually only seem to have "Since we became translucent". What albums are their best for me to get & listen to before January? It seems "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge", "Piece of Cake" & "My Brother the Cow" were the ones that charted according to Wikipedia so wondering which ones people think I should check out.
Cheers

I saw them last year and they were great live- The first EP, Superfuzz Bigmuff is stellar. You can get the EP re-released with other songs - Superfuzz Bigmuff Plus Early Singles (1990). It has "Touch Me I'm Sick" which is a regular in their set lists. Their new album is quite good as well and "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge " and "Mudhoney" are both good.

^^^ Thanks for that info. Superfuzz Bigmuff seems to be the recommended one + I must check out the new album too.

Maybe even someone from Moscow

Amsterdam is also there!

Hey bramnieskens, is that right? Looks like we're on the same boat, thinking to do this crazy trip. :twisted:

I am the one from Moscow. I have baggage too, wife and a baby.

Were you able to find some good flights? Looks like connecting flights should go through UAE or Qatar, is that also the case for you? What about the prices you are receiving? Best I can get is 1.500 - 2.000 USD / person. I'd be happy if I could find a deal for 1.000, but it seems to not exist.

Sorry for my late reply. was out for the weekend. I have booked a one way ticket to Melbourne with stopovers in LA and Auckland. Going to see them in LA as well. Ticket was 1500 USD. The cheapest will be like Princess Bulldozer said, or via Kuala Lumpur.

Hoping most of the 10C members will be buying regular tickets, the more of us that are trying to get close to the front the less bogans will be around us. Never done BDO before but have done Soundwave a couple of times and 'Blues and Roots', Australian festivals have always been a generally pleasant experience, if we all get together then I'm sure these will be as well.

i just got adelaide tickets minutes ago, now attending all aussie bdos (ouch the bank account) if you want to update my details to the roll call princess bulldozer, cheers. all my tix are standard (not boss). agreed i think if we all have same tickets we can band together and take over. from what i hear boss tix are quite a fair way back from the stage. looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible.

Let's see what happens.
If I understand your route correctly, you will be always heading west, correct? Even on your way back. :idea:

I don't know when I go back again. If Australia is good for me I'll stay...
But yes, on my way to Melbourne I'm heading west. In Australia I'll travel up to the east coast

Be patient .

It's too hard to do from my phone and I've been sick all week so haven't been on the computer much.

See you in Syd though
Want to help organise the pre-party for your city?

Updated you to the first page too!

just thought i would share this it may be of some help to someone.

i just booked some ofmy flights. brisbane to melbourne then melbourne to sydney, it costs me $90.
so basically go to tiger airways to get there prices generally the cheapest but dont book with them (too unreliable for my liking and have hidden cost so flying with them could cost more in the long run) then go to jetstar they have a 10% price beat gaurentee on compareable flight times on the same day (not sure how flexible they are with this but it worked for me)
by doing this i saved around $115 on advertised prices get to fly on a better airline at the times i want to fly, yay.
will be doing this for the rest of my bookings as im doin the full bdo aussie curcuit'

also dont leave your flight/accomm bookings too long i think things will book up quickly and whats left will become quite pricey.

Do you have to email jetstar?
Or just send them a copy of the tiger stuff?

Thanks
