    i don't know what glen hansard is, and that is the second time i have seen this once movie referenced here today.
    Glen Hansard just supported Ed on his latest solo tour of the US & he's playing at PJ20. He absolutely goes off by the sounds of it + his music I've heard is very cool. I recommend checking him out. I picked up the soundtrack to the movie for cheap last week.

    He's a musician, left school at age 13 & went busking coz it's all he wanted to do. Pretty easy to find his music & info about him.

    Julia Deans should be the support for Chris Cornell, not Jimmy Christmas. JIMMY CHRISTMAS SUCKS ASS PEOPLE!!!!!

    Leave the ass people alone.

    Etc.

    No but seriously. He's really fucking shit. Can't believe Chris Cornell would have approved that rubbish if he'd actually heard it.

    I'm pretty damn pissed off about it. SERIOUSLY. Goooosh Jimmy Christmas sucks. Julia would be 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 million billion times better as a support act.

    I'm looking to buy a single ticket to Ed's Sydney Opera House show, PM me if you've got a spare! I don't care where the seat is! :D

    If you don't like the support act .. miss it ... get there late.. or go have a drink or a bite to eat or whatever until Cornell comes on. No-one is forcing you ..

    I did that for the EV Newcastle show. I'd seen them already at the Brisbane show and decided I didn't like them enough to listen to them again. Are they still around? I read somewhere that EJ was going to be playing with Liam Finn again.

    Liam and EJ = 2getha 4eva



    Yeah I'm just gonna not show up in time for his set. It's disappointing though that they'd choose someone so horrendously untalented when NZ has a plethora of amazing and far more appropriate acts to use. I sincerely doubt Chris has heard Jimmy Xmas or his incredibly fucking shit band Luger Boa. Unless Chris is a big fan of piles of shit.

    See you there! Which show are you going to? I'm going to both in auckland :mrgreen:

    I havent been on this forum for ageeeeeees.

    Too busy obsessing about The Adults

    I've finally discovered how amazing Julia Deans is.

    I think we're at the first one in Auckland! Can't waaaait it's been a long time since I have seen a decent live act. I am now going to go and google Jimmy Xmas, although his feedback on here pretty much says it all, and I vaguely remember Luga Boa, isn't that the what now man's band?? therefore: will Thingy be on stage with Jimmy Xmas? That'd be pretty awesome

    The What Now man?

    Props Boy used to be in a band called Canvas and then Autozamn, if that's who you're thinking of?

    Luger Boa features one of the singers from the D4. Now he has no hair. Then he has the world's worst comb forward.

    It's such a rare thing to love the support acts. Such a rare thing indeed. I remember Shudder to Think getting booed in Wellington. Heh. Weta played support for Soundgarden. Little did I know that one day they would become one of my favourite bands (I thought they were roadies tuning the guitars).

    My best support act moment (Liam aside) was discovering the Phoenix Foundation as they outshone the fuck out of Evan Dando. Good times.

    I missed them on purpose at the EV Sydney show too. Went around the corner for a bite to eat instead and bumped into Stuart and Sairs which was a nice surprise. :)

    btw who is the support act for the Aussie Cornell shows?

    Too much on this year. I want to go to Caloundra Music Festival in October (one week before Cornell) and Foos in December but I can't. :(
