WiLDHEARTS DOWN UNDER

[scully]

Hell yes I'm excited. Anyone interested in meeting up for a frothy or two before the gig?

In Melbourne? Sure. We'll try round up a few more from this group, pm mobile nos etc. closer to the date

OK, we are down to 4 sleeps now. I am flying to Sydney on Wednesday night so I can have a good night's rest and a whole day to prepare myself for the show. It's gonna be good times!

There hasn't been a meet up organised yet but I look forward to meeting all the other Sydney WH fans and everyone else who is flying in from around the place for these shows. It's going to be a wild ride.

Melbourne should be good. For anyone attending, the front bar or the rooftop bar at the Corner Hotel is always a good meet-up place for anyone whose looking for a before gig bevvy. Plus, it's full of rockers and stuff.

Melbourne's band times look like this:

THE WILDHEARTS 11:30 PM – UNTIL FINISHED
COCKFIGHT SHOOTOUT 10:30PM – 11:10PM
MUSCLE CAR 9:40PM – 10:10PM
SCREWTOP DETONATORS 8:45PM - 9:20PM

And seriously, make sure you get there early enough to check out the first band, Screwtop Detonators, as they are freakin' awesome and top guys too. Seriously, they are a good band and you will be most happy. Cockfight Shootout are also a good band for those who havent seen them before. They are heavy with lotsa melody. This is a great well fitted line-up and well worth your cover charge.

I will also let you know now that there will be a limited number of Australian WH tour shirts. When i say limited, i am talking around 70 shirts so grab 'em while you can. I think they are being split evenly between the 2 venues so it's first come, first served.

This is gonna be 2 of the greatest nights of my life and I am so glad to be a part of it. I hope you all have the best time and i look forward to rockin' and singing along with each and every one of you.

Sounds good i'll be up for that.

Anyone want to meet up before the Sydney gig?

Will probably be rocking up early to grab one of those shirts.

[longgoneloser]

This will be my last post before I head to Sydney tomorrow night. The shirts for anyone who is interested have the Ramones styled logo on the front and the back has the dates for the Aussie shows. I saw them tonight and they look good. Muchly cool. I also believe there will be CDs on sale too.

I will be around the venue randomly throughout the night. I'll be wearing the token Aerosmith hat. Feel free to come and say hi as I look forward to meeting you all.

See you all soon! Let's rock!

Right, the time's almost upon us, and I for one have been walking around work with a tent pole in my pants all day Anyone wants to catch up for a coupla pre-gig ales, shoot me a PM, I'll check em either later tonight or early tomorrow before we leave. See you all there!

[longgoneloser]

HOW GOOD WAS THAT?!?!?!?
The Sydney show was awesome fun and the set was unreal. They delivered on all accounts. It was unreal and the shirts sold out before the first band had even finished. If you missed out on one but want one, then you can email me after tonight and i'll let you know if there's any left.

Tonight's show will be a lot of fun. Can't wait! See you there!

I won't kill ya but there was no 29x The Pain on either nights.

Tonight set list had Nothing Ever Changes But The Shoes with Scott not knowing any of it and just picking bits up along the way, was quite amusing. We also had Loveshit. Was a great night. I can safely say that Melbourne LOVED / LOVES the Wildhearts. The place went nuts for them. Even the North Melbourne chapter of the Turbojugend were out in force rockin' and rollin'. A very fun gig. Excellent show. I was glad to be a part of it. Thanks to all who showed up. Next time, bring an extra friend and it'll be even better

Awesome gig in Sydney. Major stoked to hear Dangerlust and Beautiful Thing! Much and as I love 29X, was glad to hear Rootin' For The Bad Guy. Sensational gig!

Spending 11 years telling every rock fan I know about the Wildhearts and getting blank stares, I never expected to see them down here. Top kudos to all involved!

Everyone who went to the gig is raving about it, so word of mouth will definitely spread for next time. Me and my mates have given everyone who said they were going to go and didn't turn up a gloating review + scolding for not showing up.

Would love to have gone down to Melbourne for the show and planned to do so till last minute funds made it impossible.

Nothing Ever Changes?!? Lucky guys!

The general feeling for the 2 nights has been very positive. We wanted these shows to happen as a way of the band to meet the right people in order to make things happen in this country for them. I hope this happened and we see them again next year. Melboure's crowd was insane about them and that was great to see. Being in the audience, seeing the smiles, the crowd's positive response and just the vibe that was there, the band delivered more than the audience had ever asked for. I saw people so emotionally caught up in it because they never thought they would see the band live and now they have and will talk about it, and no doubt, a lot. I hope this really was the stepping stone the band needed to meet the right people here and we will see them return sooner than later.

Thanks to everyone who came out for it. From what i know, people flew in and drove from around the country to see these shows. Thankyou so much.

Here's to 2009!!!!!!!!

CHEERS!!!

Many thanks to all who made this happen. Melbourne rocked like fuck, there was a decent turn-out people wise (not a huge crowd but hopefully enough to make it worth their while) and I'm still walking around with a big stupid grin on my face. Awesome.
