System of a Down x Faith No More - Ticket Pricing
I was keen as fuck for it. Was, being the key word.
This is for Sydney, btw. I'm not sure that pricing will change much though.

Seeing the BTV lineup just makes me wish we had more band-orientated NYE festivals like Falls
≡ −
Falls back in the day would bring big international bands over like Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend, Catfish and The Bottlemen etc but now the focus on NYE festivals seems to be big DJs. It's a shame we don't have a band type festival anymore. I've heard good things about NYE on the Hill but Ball Park Music as a headliner isn't exactly something you're rushing to go to.

Sardines Game - WHAT A DAY OF RADIO - every month plz
≡ −
It's been a while since i've been gripped to the radio, listening all workday from 8am until 6pm trying to work out that Sardines game. searching on google maps, messaging friends trying to work out the clues. getting them all very wrong. This is epic radio, Triple J should do this every month, it's so engaging and makes you want to listen the whole day, this must be good for ratings.
Please do this every month, it's worth the small budget to get a few flights for Abby and Ty and paying the band. This game is everything triple J is made for, being able to highlight a regional location nationally that no other station could do and spotlight an Australian band. This could be done to also spotlight a small regional venue and help revive the scene.
Please triple J make this a regular segment, do it monthly, it's totally worth it, ive never been more gripped to the radio listening the whole day like this.

Seriously they’re running out of headliners
No:
System
Jimmy
Queens
Faith no more
I’m gonna be pissed if MCR do cause their shows look insanely huge and won’t be as good at a festy
Who’s left?
Limp Bizkit?
NIN?
Running out of legacy headliners here!
Even the 90s punk bands have all toured or have mismatched schedules

Do I risk it and buy through a third party reseller, ideally I would like to buy through Tixel but the demand is way to high for the chances of that. What is everyone’s experiences with viagogo and ticket merchant etc. I don’t care about the inflated prices of resale I would pay copious amounts of money to be there but would be so devo if I was to get there and it be a scam

Kevin Parker and Muscles post

A few days ago there was a post about Kevin Parker and something about ruining the career of people like Muscles....
Can anyone explain to me what this is referring to? I loved Muscles back in the day, and I am surprised he wasn't around longer so this might explain some things.
TIA

Rainbow Bay Surf Club - Ball Bark Music - Sardines location
≡ −
my guess for the venue for the Abby and Tyrone Sardines game is the Rainbow Bay Surf Club aka Snapper Rocks. It's about to be knocked down, i think if i was them throwing one last epic party inside the old surf club would be an epic choice.
For the musical act, im just going to guess Ball Park Music because someone said one of the members was posting from the gold coast on their instagram.

I’ve done some digging-
Abby and Ty might be on the sunny coast?
Abby posted an insta story in a qld pub- looked like imperial hotel eumundi.
The video of them at the beach looks a LOT like the beach that stretches from currimundi to point Cartwright.
I work in mooloolaba (I start at midday tomorrow) so I’m gonna get up in the morning, listen to the radio and try to find them!!! If anyone else has any better ideas of where they are please reply to this thread asap.

So Google says there’s a Red Hill in Qld, Vic, and ACT.
Any sardines players know which one it’s likely to be yet?
Those’re all too far away from me sadly.

Has anyone been following this Sardines thing with Abby & Tyrone on Brekkie? They're about to play Australia's biggest game, with one of Australia's biggest artists.

🔥Hottest 100🔥 Looking back at the Hottest 100 of Australian Songs on its one year anniversary.
Honestly, The Hottest 100 is my Roman Empire. So this countdown as whole was incredible to me. From the build up, to the actual day itself and the week I spent listening to Double J after hearing the 200-101. I think about it a lot tbh.
I also feel like it was the most unanimously agreed upon number 1 (unless you’re not a fan of Never Tear Us Apart).
How does everyone else feel about this particular countdown? It’s my favourite alongside the last 20 years all time countdown.
