| My Soundwave
Well, on Sunday I went to Syndey Soundwave which was epic (and I got pretty badly burnt as well). Organisers were shit as usual, but at least there was easier access to free water, even if this meant closing off the main stages more, and the main stages running an hour late turned out well for me because I got to see about 5 bands I didn't think I would. | 1 | Rolo Tomassi
Started the day off with these guys, pretty solid and funny watching them set up. Lead singer is such a babe, but terrifying at the same time (which only makes her hotter again). Too bad she seemed to be hooking up with the Gallows guitarist. | 2 | Gallows
Fuck me, this pit almost killed me (I'm really unfit..and small). But awesome. Human pyramids, walls of death and screamed lyrics ftw. My friend accidently punched Frank Carter in the mouth, and much to my surprise he turned out to be a really nice guy. | 3 | Isis
Good chill music after the intensity of Gallows. | 4 | Eagles of Death Metal
Saw them by pure coincidence, boring as. | 5 | Alexisonfire
Saw the start of their set, they were alright not that great. | 6 | Glassjaw
I think their stage was running early, because I got there 15mins before they were meant to play and they were already on stage, I dunno if I missed anything. But they were great, and Palumbo was hilarious. Weird, the drummer looked absolutely terrified of him. | 7 | Paramore
Quite pleased I got to see them, didn't expect to. Williams is hot live and can still sing well too. | 8 | Placebo
Great set, played a spruced up version of Sleeping With Ghosts (my favourite song) and not too much of their new album, which was great for me. By this time I was exhausted though and I zoned out several times. | 9 | AFI
Didn't expect much, but they were quite fun live. I guess 15 years of experience teaches you how to put on a good show. By the time it ended the day was cooling down, thank god. | 10 | Dance Gavin Dance
Only caught the end because I got my times mixed up, but thank god, because they were absolute shit. I've never heard a band play so badly. | 11 | Anti-Flag
Awesome awesome set, and one I didn't think I'd get to see. Actually more intense than Gallows due to its political nature. I had to leave the pit before it finished though, because it felt like my arms were on fire (yay sunburn!) | 12 | Jimmy Eat World
Boring live. Sound the same as in studio and don't put on a show at all. | 13 | Faith No More
Didn't like them before hand, but I gotta admit they were pretty fucking amazing live. Only saw part of their set though, I left early to catch | 14 | This Is Hell
Small crowd, fun pit, crap drumming, good way to end out the day. | |

02.24.10 | Awesome. Cannot wait for monday. I think i'll skip JEW after all the shitty reviews theyre getting. Was going to see the last 30 mins of them but yeah. | KritikalMotion
02.24.10 | what im seeing = http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t300/kritikalmotion/ccccccccc.png
only seeing enter shikari because theyre last and theres nothing else on, plus paramore over rolo tomassi because of my friend, but i might slip away and see a bit of tomassi | Captain North
02.24.10 | That's weird, Enter Shikari was the headliner act for stages 5/6. But fair enough, and yeah, def check out Rolo Tomassi, great live. Better than Paramore. | Mordecai.
02.24.10 | Check my list out, you could learn a thing or two | Captain North
02.24.10 | Hahaha. But I would have died if I drank. Sun was not friendly. | KritikalMotion
02.24.10 | I wish someone like glassjaw or gallows had got a longer set/the last set. Oh well.
Can't say i'm that keen on seeing enter shikari | ThePalaceOfWisdom
02.24.10 | Me and Blake are coming to beat you at the Glassjaw pit Kritikal. | KritikalMotion
02.24.10 | >:( | ThePalaceOfWisdom
02.24.10 | :D :D :D | PirateSquid
02.24.10 | The singer of the Gallows is the funnest guy ever.
We basically hung out after his show at the Warped Tour and talked about how sucky BrokeNCYDE and Millionaires were.
One of the chicks from the Millionaires apparently was following him around, being like, "ohmygee I love ur band ur so hxc lololol!"
So he was in front of the portables and was just like, "Get out of my way now, I need to take a shit"
And that was the last they talked | NumbWalrus
02.24.10 | some ok stuff on here. can't stand 7 tho | KritikalMotion
02.24.10 | Did Rolo Tomassi play Oh, Hello Ghost? | SlightlyEpic
02.24.10 | not surprised dgd sucked since they just chucked out their other guitarist and now the one guitarist is trying to do both guitar parts AND scream as well. not gonna work. | SHAKEandBAKE
02.24.10 | Hmmmm, Dance Gavin Dance was awesome when I saw them... Must've had a bad day or something. | Captain North
02.25.10 | Ahhh, I thought they were missing a guitar. But even the singer was shit, probably because they overlayed so many vocals in the studio but live no one else sings.
And the Glassjaw had no pit except about 6 MASSIVE drunk guys who ruined it for everyone else. |
