Ok I’ve now applied for leave on Friday 29th February and the timetable for the Soundwave Festival has just been released so I’m all set for the event.
Sorry about the small print on the timetable, but I had to resize it due to the sidebar on the hundredpennies site
While there’s heaps of bands I haven’t heard of, Mr Lagmer told me about a few that I will definitely check out.
Here’s my my plan for the day;
12.30 - 1.0: Kicking things off with screamo freestyle punk band Fall Of Troy.
1.0 - 3: No idea what to see as I haven’t heard of any of the bands playing at this time. I’ve got 2 hrs to kill and can see From Autumn To Ashes, Socratic, Madina Lake, Boys Like Girls, The Starting Line, Sugacult, Divine Heresy or All Time Low. Suggestions anyone?
3.10 - 3.40: Popalicious Cartel on the red stage. Should be interesting as I liked their first album but haven’t heard their second. Sucks that they only get to play for 30 min though.
3.45 - 4.40: It’s a toss up whether to see Scary Kids Scaring Kids or Dallas Green’s (Alexisonfire) side project City & Colour. I might make up my mind after I listen to the C & C album that just came out.
5.15 - 6.00: I haven’t heard of any of the other bands playing at this time so I guess I’ll check out Thursday Supposedly they’re responsible for the whole post hardcore music thing.
6.00 - 7.30: Next up on the main stage is Motion City Soundtrack and Alexisonfire. It’s an interesting choice to have these bands playing back to back as one is very poppy and the other is very hardcore, so both worlds may collide. Only heard the last Motion City album and it took a long time to build on me. Never really got into Alexisonfire as they’re a bit too screamo for me, but I’m sure they’ll put on an energetic show.
7.40-8.40: Incubus will surely get the crowd going with their scratchy mixing of funky beats with rock. Haven’t heard their new stuff (Handgrenades?) but have recently got into their old albums and wouldn’t mind seeing these guys.
8.50-9.50: Mmmm choice, choices. All the big boys (My American Heart, Killswitch Engage, The Matches and Offspring) are playing at this time so the decision on which band to see is going to be tough. Haven’t heard of My American Heart and I know Killswitch are huge but I’m not really into them so I guess that narrows it down a bit. I really want to see The Matches as I really dig their stuff and they have a new album coming out soon which they will probably be giving a sneak peak of. However since they’re playing a sideshow at the East Brunswick Club (27th February) I’ll probably see them there instead. I though the offspring were pretty much dead after their terrible last album (Splinter), but it seems like they’re still kicking it. I haven’t seen them live before but if they’ve got any of the spark from their old school days then maybe they could still ‘Hit That’.
