***WARNING***
may contain profanities


full of festival sluts and 40 year old women in matching costumes
(capes, nurse outfits and gumboots)
BIG DAY OUT 09 was a day we (Rachael and Kelso... and our friend Blake)
will never forget

THE BEGINNING

after the hearing the end of Sparkadia we watched Children Collide
who were great
yet during their set we were befriended by a 20 something year old harlot
who was induly intoxicated and it was only 11 am

this was the conversation that took place
her: "do you think i'm beautifulllllll, even though i'm maggoted?"
rachael: "ahhh yeah sure"
her: "you can tell me the truth you know!!"
rachael: "no, no, i am"
her: "aww, you're my HEROOOOOO" (she then proceeded to hug me)

next up
was saw a bit of Birds of Tokyo
and left sunburnt

a few minutes of The Grates

then Little Red?
the drummer was the cutest thing i have seen in my life
anyone who saw them would know

then BLACK KIDS
who were american? what the fuck, i really thought they were australian
(or at least new zealand)
they were good and danceable

after Black Kids, a few minutes of Died Pretty and Lupe
then MERCY ARMS
who were really gr888888

we then watched My Morning Jacket
who were excellent and the singer wore a cape
a clear win in our books

then came Cut Copy
we were pushed to the front by ravers and metros
we were crushed
and raped
Cut Copy were okay
it sounded like Triple J was just being played through the speakers though
but it was fun

then quick sticks to Arctic Monkeys
who were really good actually (even we couldn't deny that)
alex's accent charming all girls and some men

and then finally NEIL YOUNG
this for me was the highlight
(that and finding a drink ticket on the ground)
i don't want to sound lame.. but it was "magical"
that old man can really play

unfortunately due to certain circumstances
(tired legs and public transport)
we were unable to smack our bitches up and see The Prodigy


WORTH THE MONEY
WORTH THE SUBURN

we would have photos up here
except we are STUPID and only had one disposable camera between us three
the flash didn't work
so half the photos are blurry smudges of shit
perhaps i can salvage some of them
i doubt it

Fans 12, a new indie club night, kicks off on February 13th with a mixture of great bands and indie DJ sets that will blow the Converse shoes off any fan.

Amongst this mesh of music talent is the energetic, spontaneous and party-hard band, Philadelphia Grand Jury, up from Sydney to play their first ever Brisbane gig.

Joining them are Brisbane favourites, The Cairos, who are on the verge of blowing the Australia music scene away with their infectious indie-pop hooks and unyielding stage presence.

Djing is none other than Benrama (trashpeople), one of Australia’s best indie Djs. Brace yourself, as you hear Fresh Prince of Bel Air mixed into vampire weekend, into prodigy into a whole other bunch of amazing, cool shit.

Joining the Fans Dj line up is Sean Cook from Yves Klein Blue, mixing the shit out of old school hip hop, indie and other odds and ends as he surfaces as not only a great bass guitarist, but an impressive indie DJ.

More is set to be announced from an already exciting gathering of musical talent. Pre-sale tickets go on sale via Oztix.com.au on January 13.

Door entry is $15.00 for commoners and $13.00 for subscribers.For more information and to subscribe for free, please visit www.fansclubnight.com.
