Splendour in the Grass 2011

Yup.

Black Keys are charging $112 for tickets to their shows later this year if you can believe that...

Of course I can believe it. They're whores.

They announced that tour at 9 and when I found out at 2 they had sold out. Boo.

I miss the uk for awesome, varied, accommodating and AFFORDABLE music.

Seriously, miss a 20 quid arctic monkeys show at your local and just go see them 30 miles away instead

And we live in Melbourne and Sydney... the only places in the country guaranteed to always get a show. This country sucks sometimes.

The forthcoming new Something for Kate album is keeping my spirits up though.

Whenever I think of how badly we miss out on music in Australia, I just take a quick look at a New Zealand gig guide and feel better. I'm not even joking when I say that the Melbourne live music scene is one of the main reasons why I choose to live here rather than New Zealand.

At least things are better than they used to be when it comes to international bands touring here.
