The Grates
Oh lawdy it's been a while,
All we can dream in these cold winter daze - what's that you ask? Cold winter daze? - yes, cold winter daze alright, just for a little bit we have been seeing how the other half live, the half in the Northern hemisphere, let me tell you, they're harsh bastards but fair, they come from incred...ible stock who once survived freezing temperatures in loin cloths alone. Us pathetic southerners do all that we can to not slip into deep freeze by cranking the heat up to 30, prancing around in swimmers, practicing for our upcoming summer shows which will be back home in the very bosom of blossoming Australia.
Sydney, the city of excess, the succulent, juicy capital of NYE celebrations will get a little more heated this year as we come to town to celebrate the occasion at Purple Sneakers House Party with first-time visitors to our shores UK acts The Boxer Rebellion and Baddies, USA’s tornado of awesome, Ponytail and LA’s head hipster and leader of the indie DJs, Franki Chan. They’ll also be letting loose a whole slew of Aussie crew & DJs such as Philadelphia Grand Jury, Beni (Kitsune), Astronomy Class, Red Riders, Shazam (Bang Gang 12”), DZ, Deep Sea Arcade, Chaingang, Surecut Kids, Young Heretics, The Trivs, Strangeways, Joyride and of course the Purple Sneakers DJs with PhDJ will be there too!!
Entry to three stages, free love and music to set your heart on fire at Manning House, Sydney Uni on December 31st, can be obtained here, at www.purplesneakersnewyearseve.com or from Oztix, Moshtix and Ticketek.
And that's not all for us sun worshipers, if you live in Victoria we'll be hitting the stage of Solar a festival held in Mornington, Victoria with the very likes of Bliss N Eso, Ladyhawke, Birds Of Tokyo, Drapht + Various (DJ Stage). Hit them up here www.solarmusicfest.com
The final frontier, Tasmania - treacherous and true, land of the righteous and unrefined rock n roll pagans, we can't wait to rumble with you in exhaled and amplified glory January 9th at Soundscape along side Children Collide, Ugly Duckling and Empire Of The Sun - more tasty details at www.thesoundscapefestival.com
