Big Day Out 2011 set to be Huge!

The lineup for next year's Big Day Out shows has just been announced!
The headliners will be Tool, my favourite man Iggy (and the Stooges), and Rammstein! The Black Keys and Grinderman (Nick Cave's latest project) will also be in attendance!
If these guys are abit heavy for your liking never fear- there will also be MIA, LCD Soundsystem will return having only been here a couple of months ago, Lupe Fiasco, the fab CSS and Crystal Castles.
Plenty of Aussies will be there also including Wolfmother, Birds of Tokyo, Little Red and Children Collide!


As Iggy would sing, "All aboard for fun times!"
Melbourne's Big Day Out will be Sunday 30th of Jan at Flemington Racecourse.

Ok, so I will admit I have been a bit slow off the mark with these guys, but LOVING their stuff this week!
Why has there not been more talk of them here in Aus??
I am talking about HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR! Nice upbeat nu-disco tunes coming out of Brooklyn, masterminded by DJ Andy Butler.....

Will be playing this all Summer I predict! The track in the above 'Blind' and is rather awesome in my opinion, on the album vocals are done by Antony from Antony and the Johnsons, that version is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpX4fJsiS1U (no embedding allowed)...

Also loving Best Coast out of California, and their track 'Boyfriend', but who isnt!?

As Father's Day is this Sunday coming I thought I would provide you with an insight to the music I grew up on thanks to my dear Dad, Leigh... He has rather fab taste in music, so I was lucky to be listening to the likes of


The Stranglers



John Lennon




The Who



The Police


Roxy Music (who can resist a bit of Bryan Ferry every now and then!?)
