FINAL ACTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2007 BIG DAY OUT SERIES
Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! The BIG DAY OUT is almost upon us and we are very excited to announce the third round of touring and local additions to the 2007 summer series!
THE VINES have come a long way since the early days of belting out Nirvana covers at suburban house parties. Garnering world-wide attention for their debut Highly Evolved, THE VINES have returned to prove they’ve got something more to offer than flannel-clad angst. Their highly anticipated third album, Vision Valley released in 2006 showcases a spectacular return to form. Don’t miss THE VINES’ highly evolved, eclectic hybrid of grungy, garage rock swagger, '60s psych, and '70s pop at a BIG DAY OUT near you this summer. (ALL SHOWS)
SNOWMAN is yet another incredible band to emerge from the thriving Perth music scene. Cinematic post-punk with a riff or two of surf and blues, SNOWMAN is the soundtrack to your imagination turned up to eleven. Their debut, Zombies on the Airwaves of Paris and their 2006 self titled album will leave you scrambling for adjectives. Call them strange, beautiful, jagged, swampy, hypnotic, ambient, loud, quiet, manic or whatever you will, but do not miss your chance to see what all the fuss is about at the BIG DAYS OUT. (ALL AUST SHOWS)
For a change of pace, listen up for the wisdom of the Jah Messenger, the reggae master, LUCIANO (Jamaica) at the BIG DAY OUT. Renowned worldwide for his rasta message of love and peace set to irresistible melodies and mellow, soulful vocals, LUCIANO will tantalize fans with his wit, charisma and good-lovin reggae vibes. (ALL SHOWS)
Previous winners of the Triple J Unearthed competition, the SICK PUPPIES have been living it large with the world-wide YouTube success of their “Free Hugs” music video campaign – even finding the time to jump on Oprah’s couch and then stop off in LA to record their new album. This fully sick guitar-fuelled three piece return to Oz for with a brand new album afoot and will rock BDO audiences into a frenzy around the country. (ALL AUST SHOWS)
DIGITAL PRIMATE is an underground legend. Since his first album release in ’95, DIGITAL PRIMATE has pushed the boundaries for Australian techno with his solid and dirty mix of ghetto techno, proper electro and Chicago style booty. With the release of his new album Siege Mentality, expect to see DIGITAL PRIMATE at the global forefront of electronica. Don’t forget, we saw him first… and this won’t be the last you’ll see of Digital Primate. (ALL AUST SHOWS)
Since stepping up to the decks in 1996, MARK MURPHY has become one of Sydney’s most loved and respected DJs. Champion of the electro explosion and the rave sounds emerging from Europe, his talents have been in demand at every major club and party in Sydney from Mardi Gras to Field Day. Make sure you get your dancing shoes on and boogie along to MARK MURPHY to your heart’s content at the BIG DAY OUT. (ALL AUST SHOWS)
There are many DJs in New Zealand, but none with the combination of skill and musical knowledge of DJ SIR-VERE. A hip hop pioneer, he's always been at the forefront of the movement, learning tricks of the trade from the likes of Grandmaster Flash. Now master of his art, Sir-Vere will take you on a hip hop journey serving up one hell of a block-rockin’ show for fans at the BDO. (NZ + EC)
BIG DAY OUT also welcomes THAT 1 GUY, (a.k.a Mike Silverman) (USA), a one-man band straight outta your imagination who plays a home made, seven foot tall, metallic Magic Pipe which he claims has a limitless harmonic, sonic and rhythmic range. Be prepared for an infectious and wildly innovative show, twisting up some funky bass-n-drum grooves to get you nodding your head and shifting your weight from one foot to the other at the BDO. (NZ + EC)
Not only is P-MONEY hailed as New Zealand's finest hip-hop producer, he is also regarded as one of NZ’s best DJs rocking clubs all over the world and spinning alongside the world°¶s finest DJs. From making his name via DJ competitions and his ongoing production efforts, P-Money has firmly established himself as one of the most prominent names in New Zealand music. (EC)
FOREIGN HEIGHTS is Australian hip hop to the power of three. For the first time in Oz hip hop history, three of this country’s hottest (and we do mean good looking) and most talented hip hop stars Trey, Maya Jupiter and DJ Nick Toth come together with ten years of hardcore hip hop behind them to produce the freshest beats and rhymes for your soul this summer. FOREIGN HEIGHTS will be running away to join the BIG DAY OUT circus and rocking the crowd along the East Coast. (EC)
In many ways, TZU (pronounced Tee Zed Yoo) are the Bill Murray of Australian hip hop. Funny but serious. Popular but arthouse. TZU stand out from the crowd with their unique instrumentation with Joelistics & Seed MC playing guitars, keyboards and drums, resulting in a mash of hip hop and blues, rock and pop. Renowned for their ultra-hyped live shows, they will surely rock your sweet socks off at the BDO. (EC).
After an initial journey into pop-punk playing guitar in Ben Lee's Noise Addict, MACROMANTICS discovered her true passion in hip hop. Now touted as Australia’s new hip hop royalty, she has built a solid rep for her enthralling, raw live performance which packs plentiful punches of passion and high energy. This girl has a hell of a talent for tongue twisting, tell-all rhymes that traverse through an array of musical and emotional terrain, and has proved herself as a force to be reckoned with. Let yourself be drawn in as MACROMANTICS captivates and enchants at the BDO. (EC)
BIG DAY OUT will also play host to the HEAVY FLINT SHOW featuring Keith from The Prodigy. Moving on from his previous solo projects “Flint” and “Clever Brains Fryin”, Keith will be igniting BIG DAY OUT with his psychosomatic antics, teaming up with Heavy G for a set that will feature dancefloor killers aplenty. (EC)
From Japan we welcome DJ GEDO SUPER MEGA BITCH MRS FLINT 4 - little Mrs megabitch from hell! Unconcerned with the trilemma of genre, pitch and style, MEGA BITCH sets her own standards, does her own thing and continues the tradition handed down from Bruce Lee who taught, "Don't think, FEEEEEEEL!" (EC)
He’s the boy from the bush and he’s back in town for the BDO - along with his Alpha Male buddies. Since releasing their 2nd album Drowning In The Fountain Of Youth in August this year, DAN KELLY & THE ALPHA MALES have been hitting the road and taking their rootsy rock’n’roll grunt, dizzy melodies and crafty lyrics to the masses. The BIG DAY OUT welcomes DK & TAM to Sydney and Melbourne to complement your sunny afternoon with their intelligently agile, irreverently mischievous, psychedelic blue-eyed soul. (SYD + MELB)
BIG DAY OUT 2007 welcomes Melbourne’s favourite purveyors of introspective pop, GERSEY. Having taken a break after the release of their second album Storms Dressed as Stars GERSEY return in 2006 with their acclaimed third album No Satellites, showing us the finest sprawling cinematic atmospherics, noodley guitar and keyboard pop this country has to offer. Whether you’re in the mood for a melancholy melody tearing at your heartstrings or an optimistic pop tune, GERSEY will cure what ails you. (SYD + MELB)
Masters of defiant raucous soul rock’n’roll GROUND COMPONENTS are one of Melbourne’s favourite live acts. After releasing 2 EPs since 2002, GROUND COMPONENTS have finally released their much anticipated debut LP An Eye For a Brow and a Tooth For a Pick, a collection of songs that explore the band’s diverse musical influences and multi-instrumental talents. Their performance at BDO will herald the irresistible, simple, sharp songs and rock’n’roll variations on a theme that we’ve come to know and love! (SYD + MELB)
