I thought this may be of interest to some of you. I think some of the performances may be quite rare and there should be something there to please just about everyone. It's a good concept imho. For those of you outside Australia and with a good net connection you should be able to tune in...if you are awake at the right time :)

It all kicks off 6pm this Friday 26th and goes til midnight Sunday 28th. Here's the entire list of "on stage" times for each of these amazing acts below.

6:00PM WHITE STRIPES (2003)

I seem to recall Amanda or Angela bagging Triple J, calling it Trippy J.So beware! They do sometimes talk rubbish , but what radio station doesn't? This weekend it should be mostly music anyway. They have been billing this event as occurring at "Your Bedroom Showgrounds", the hot dog stand is up, security is in place, tickets are free ( you won't see them on ebay...although you never know these days) AND you won't have to queue up for the toilets.

enjoy :)
 
What a bitch of a time to have a crappy connection. :mad:

I'd love to hear some of those....
 
Why is it there's no information about any of the three I'm most interested in?

Still, Split Enz, Crowded House, and Shihad :drool: :drool: :drool:

(Though I'll only be awake for the Crowdies ...)
