@likealice: she doesn't come on anymore, her username was mathsparanoia. i'm second, hello from the st george area :)
why would you want to move to london or melbourne? the climate's terrible.

@kyle: would your parents take you to the BDO? it's 18+ innit? who is their record label here? isn't it just warner? i'm sorry kyle, but hardly anyone considers WA in their tours.

^^ BDO isn't 18+, but if you're 18+ and want to drink you have to spend about three hours in a queue to get a special coloured wristband to wave in the face of the alcohol sellers.

Last time I went to BDO (2008) they ran out of water.. not such a good thing in the middle of summer in New Zealand (though AUS would undoubtedly be worse to be fair).

@fang: ahh. cool didn't realise you were from sydney too. you're a youngin' though, yeah? well, younger than my 21... (though, on these boards it doesn't seem so hard to do!).

Yeah, BDO is 15+. My friend and I got the 18+ wristbands last time we went ('07). We got in right as they opened the gates. Got the wristbands. Got 2 drinks... and that was it because of the lines. Actually, I think we went back at 4-ish because the lines were short again. So really, it's not worth it unless you want to spend half your time in the lines.

I generally don't drink much when I see bands anyway. No point forgetting it all. Only concert I've had a lot at was MGMT. Apparently they're shit live, but I had the time of my life. Haha.

Can someone please explain Double Denim Party to me? I mean the little saying, not the event.

It sounds voonderful.

@Alice: good work on getting in sharpish and beating the lines, I don't drink at BDO, just because it gets so hot (as an English person who moved to a hot country, I still melt sometimes, though I am slowly getting used to it) and I think I'd just die of sehydration if I did. Usually enjoy a few drinks at normal gigs though, the bars around Wellington that bands play at are awesome.

@Kirsty: I too have no idea what a double denim party is, though I googled it and there is a facebook group dedicated to them, with it's category listed as "Common Interest - Sexuality"

When I read Double Demin party I got this mental picture

Chuck partaaayyy wooooooooooooooo.

Back on topic..

Maybe Chuck will come to BDO '10!

some people just can't pull off double denim, but it's the 21st century, anything goes.

Ahh. So.... Sydney BDO tickets have gone on sale an hour & a half early and I bought them... But I'm a little worried I'm going to be screwed out of my money.

edit: Crisis averted, they're honouring the tickets. Yay!

^ good work! The great thing about NZ is that if you want to go, you can pretty much buy tickets whenever you want. I think last year it sold out sometime after the third announcement, but I'm confident that I can leave it until after the second to decide whether I'm going to go or not and still get tickets easily

^ I wish it was like that for Sydney tickets. It's so stressful! And now they've gone and announced a second Sydney show because of the fuck up & demand for tickets.

Where Florence goes, I will follow.
Girls that sing - super hot.
Girls that sing like Florence - [there are not words].

I have an ex classmate who lives in Sydney at the moment. I'm gonna tell him to go and see Muse

Second Announcement released today, verdict: disappointing.
