I enjoyed listening to the Getaway Plan, the seem to have quite a lot of potential. They haven't really settled on a certain scene yet which is not a bad thing, but most of their songs seem to fit into very generic holds which isn't so good. Still, they have some good tunes etc...

By the way- any chance of re-uploading some Red Paintings stuff as I didn't get to here them and the link has expired.

Glad to see somebody else who likes the Getaway Plan apart from me.
They have good stage presence and are awesome to see live.

[QUOTE=Ulysses] I am considering buying their "Symphinity" album off amazon at Amazon.com - Windchase - Symphinity but will wait and buy in bulk when I get some more cashola, which shouldn't be too soon. Then I will make some of their tracks available.[/QUOTE]

I'll look foward to hearing something. :)

I should have something done on Sunk Loto in a day or two, as I have to work around concerts/uni this weekend.

Cheers for the uploads, I'll have a listen later.

Cancer Sand? anyway, cheers, I've had The Revolution stuck in my head for a while, bene wanting to hear it again

[QUOTE=blueyxd]Cancer Sand?[/QUOTE]

My mistake. Windows Media player labels it wrong, ie: The Cancer Sand, but it's really The Cancer Song. I forgot about that when I was uploading it today.

/renames

Also, if anyone here gets the chance to see Shihad, I urge you to do it. They blew Cog out of the water tonight.

Also, here's a review of the [b][i]Shihad + Cog[/i][/b] show I saw last night.

^ Can you tell me some of the songs played? Was 'Shot in the Head' played? Man I love that song.

For anyone who lives in Melbourne, The Dead Letter are performing at The TOTE on the 27th of August.

Check them out and come down to see them when they perform!

I love Australian music lol.

I saw the Butterfly Effect a few years ago at Enmore, I can't really remember their sound but I wasn't a big fan initially. They might get some QOTSA or Tool influence into their sound through this producer which wouldn't be too bad.

Argh, im in a bit pf a pickle. I had planned to go see Cog tomorrow night but i forgot about the exams i have on. I want to go, but should study. I have my music exams the day after though, so if they put on a good show it might inspire me to go out and kick arse,lol.

Go to the concert, make the most of the opportunity i reckon.

Yeah i probably will end up going...i would still fail the exam anyways.

Yeah, I'm currently doing the HSC and not studying real hard, I'm too absorbed in music and instead of reading through notes I have my head stuck in a book about Hendrix or Eric Burdon.

[QUOTE=Ulysses]Yeah, I'm currently doing the HSC and not studying real hard.[/QUOTE]
Same :upset:

My trial results left alot to be desired.

Hahah...well i have my second English test tomorrow, and what am i doing? Posting on ****ing MX, curse this site,lol.

Go and see Cog, and if Shihad are at the same show it is a must. The two bands one after the other was an awesome experience.

AIC/EAZY-E, the Shihad setlist was very similar to the setlist you told me to expect. I didn't know anything of [i]Love Is The New Hate[/i] though, as I'm yet to hear it.

Finally, apologies for not getting anything done on Sunk Loto. It'll happen once I get through all the crap I need to do for uni.

Fans of Dillinger will approve of this experimental metal band. They are fronted by ex- Frankenbok vocalist Adam Glynn. I saw them at Bayswater metalfest last week in the outer suburbs of Melbourne where about 50 people turned up for this event. Absolutely blew me away. Quite technical and very amusing. Sound like Dillinger Escape Plan cross SOAD with their own musical flair. Very inspiring live performers; check out their website and follow the links to download one of their songs. :thumb:

Has no one mentioned The Berzerker yet?

[QUOTE=MRDuCran]Has no one mentioned The Berzerker yet?[/QUOTE]
Nobody has done them yet. Are you going to?

[QUOTE=RunAmokRampant]Five Star Prison Cell[/QUOTE]
I have their song Ballad Of The Cheated, the vocals are a bit heavy for my likes at the moment, but with the interesting music I will be giving it some chance. I've seen the drummer live in his other band, Tension.

Getting some more songs off their site now, I'm hoping Gandhara is the same one from Monkey.. .

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]Nobody has done them yet. Are you going to?[/QUOTE]

They have had a small bit done on them [url=http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8182339&postcount=34]here[/url]. Feel free to do a larger/more in depth piece on them though.

All the artists that have been done are listed in the first post. :)

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]Nobody has done them yet. Are you going to?[/QUOTE]

To be honest, i don't really know much about them, I just like the song Reality after seeing a video of them rehersing it.

Welllll, i decided to go to Cog, and how happy am i about that decision. I couldnt stay for Shihad cos i need to study, but Cog were AMAZING live. It was a small venue and only 200-300 people,so i got right in the middle on the barrier. Great show. Missed out on a drumstick though, the two people next to me got them which sucked. But it was a really good show,so glad i went.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]Same :upset:

I can't say that the exams I have received back have been too crash hot either. All I do at home is play music, read books about music, listen to music and draw pictures.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds = Best Australian band ever.

Yeah I saw Nick Cave at Wave Aid and watched a documentary on him, very interesting guy. I haven't got any of his material with the Bad Seeds to be honest but I'm considering buying an album.

Glad to see no one acknowledged my write-up. :(

Please don't take it like that. It was a good write up and one day I'd like to check Vanishing Point out. However, downloading isn't a viable option for me, and as I'd never heard anything by them I couldn't really comment. Also, you were unlucky in that Lord Tim posted shortly afterwards, taking up the limelight.
