It's the first band she's ever seen live, she's gonna love it and I'm excited for her. I really like the BEP too so I'm happy to go along and dance like an idiot.

Seeing as I go to local shows, more bands than I could ever list here. People into music, no matter what genre, should really get out and see local bands rather than wait for international acts to tour. Australia has plenty of musical talent, and you won't see it on TV.

Amber · 02-09-2005, 01:25 PM

I've seen lots of:

Powderfinger
Regurgitator
Silverchair

Pearl Jam

Does anyone know if/when Linkin Park are coming back? I'm also hanging to see Evanescence

I couldn't agree more, Local bands need all the support they can get, so go see gigs in your local area!.. New Australian artists, and embrace new acts before they have signed any deals.
