With Ashan Munesinghe
Twitter changed a lot of things for me, and dare I suggest other kids around me, my band mates certainly. I became known as the phantom… the one that “wasn’t there” anymore. My life’s purpose suddenly became to follow Hayley from Paramore’s account around all day, one of her 272,627 minions, ahem, followers. Today she ate a choc-chip cookie, was jetlagged and played live in Taratata… I don’t know where that is, either.
In other, more relevant, fan-based news, Aussie pop rockers Short Stack have launched their series of all ages shows, with Festival Hall to host the band’s pop-thrash-electro stylings on December 18. All songs performed will be from the trio’s debut Stack Is the New Black.
As part of their Still Standing Tour, Obese heavy-weights Hilltop Hoods have also announced a couple of all ages shows - Friday 20 November at Schweppes Centre, Bendigo and Thursday 3 December at Festival Hall.
Amity Affliction’s Stairway to Hell Tour with We Are The Ocean (UK) and Hopeless are set to hit The Corner Hotel on Saturday October 24 and The National Hotel Geelong on Sunday 25 October.
Ambient and amazing - Matthew Wright’s new project, The Young Heretics, alongside girlfriend Kitty Hart, officially took off with the ITunes Australia release of their debut EP, Dreamers. The four tracks form a dreamy, theatrical kind of raw, indie-like kitsch - similar to stuff from UK’s Bat for Lashes.
Punk rock band Sin City’s Myspace users have demanded that they add an all-ages launch for their new single God Damn. Shows are announced in the timetable.
Anyway, we’re all family at The Push, and we’d like to introduce you to our brand new All Ages column. Weekly, here, we will aim to tell you something about the all ages scene in Melbourne, point you toward some interesting gigs and arts events for all ages, and catch you up on more of Hayley Williams’ twitter life… if word limits permit, which they probably won’t. Visit us at www.thepush.asn.au/ we won’t bite... too hard.
Don’t forget your Soundwave tickets, and please don’t waste the money on things like rent and Telstra bills.
