Recently alot of tours have been coming round bouts these parts. I gotta say for Adelaide, it's a change. I was beginning to get kinda sick of hearing about shows in Sydney, Melbourne ect and having us miss out (eg. Stone Sour when they went to melbourne and we flew over to see em.)

But it seems lately we've been getting alot better stuff come through to us. For my interests, Linkin Park and Chris Cornell, The Blackening Tour (Machine Head, Trivium, Arch Enemy), Gigantour (Megadeth, Devildriver, Static-X, Lacuna Coil, ect) and now the Soundwave festival is coming around. (The Offspring, Incubus, Avenged Sevenfold, STILL REMAINS! and waaay more. Check out www.soundwavefestival.com if you'rte interested. Trust me when I say it'll be better than Big Day Out if you like the same sorta stuff I do.)

But I see on the forums and ect for the SWF that next year (09') it'll be a toss up between us (Adelaide) and Perth. I guess that it's going to cost too much to cater to the smaller venues such as us and Perth, which I get. I wouldn't be too pissed at this, but it really makes me want to move to a bigger city (probably Melbourne, nice place.)

Speaking of, I'm now 20 and really need to kick start my life/career. I'm not entirely sure of where I wanna go, I would be VARY interested in doing something directly with music wether it be mixing or management or promotions or anything! Right now all I have is street teams, which is great, but in no way is it anything to do with a career. It's still great though. I almost feel like I'm stuck here living in Adelaide because it's hardly where the action is at all.

Not that the music scene here isn't alive and kicking with Local acts like Double Dragon, Truth Corroded and all it's brethren around here kicking some serious ass egtting known all over. Which is fantastic because you know it's world class music like alot of the stuff we get imported to us from the US and ect. I'll be happy to be able to say "I knew and saw them, when they were just starting out."

More power to 'em. Makes me wanna start a band :D
