  1. I'll have to get this one at some point as I got into Victory about two years ago, and managed to pick up all their studio albums except the debut.

    I hate the fact that the debut is self titled as the word Victory us so generic and damn near impossible to search on eBay or Amazon etc without bringing up 100's of CDs about WWII etc.

    Probably couldnt afford it now if I found it anyway :(

    I just saw that Victory s/t debut has been re-issued, available May 16.

     

    "Yesterrock/ Sony will re-issue the ultra-rare German Hard Rock classic "Victory" by Hanover based band VICTORY on May16th, 2011".

    Back on topic though, I am certainly looking forward to their new album. I didn't start getting into Victory until a couple of years ago but have all their albums now and love them.

  2. Apparantly Petra played 2 shows in Australia last month. One of them wasn't far from here so probably would have gone just out of interest.

    Surely our christian buddies would have known about this one, no?

     

    Sadly, unless tickets were about $10 I don't think I'd have made that one.

     

    They played a massive 3 day festival at Toowoomba called Easterfest, some good bands in the line-up, most though, I've never heard of. Would have been cool just to walk around and check out some random bands, I'm sure there would have been some good ones.

    A Brisbane band. Never heard of them before now but came across these two songs which are really very very good.

    A Sydney band with an album due out in July. This is their single 'Shout' which I can highly recommend. Excellent stuff.

  4. I found a cassette yesterday in an old pawn shop. The band was called Peralta. They are obviously a hair band from the pic on the j-card and the music was pretty good. The cassette plays perfectly. There is no info on the card at all except the song titles and who mixed the cassette and a phone #. It is a NC # due to the 919 area code. I lived here all my life and never heard of them so I don't really know if they are local or not. Just curious if anyone had ever heard of them.

    Yep, North Carolina band. 4 of the 5 members shared the same last name, "Peralta" (I'm guessing a mixture of brothers & cousins). They recorded their 5 song demo at Reflection Studios in Charlotte, NC. They had a song (the power ballad "Someday We'll Fly Away" which is pretty darn good) on the Metal Mythos Volume 1 compilation:

    The lead singer was a mere 17 years old when they recorded the demo.

     

    I wouldn't mind getting my hands on that Metal Mythos compilation CD. Do you know if it shows up much these days or is it pretty hard to find?

  5. Having the same problem as Izzy, when I change my Avatar, it displays the old one but changes the size (pixels) to that of the new one. Tried clearing the cookies etc and restarting but still it won't work. Anyone else had trouble with this?

  6. New FaceBook page for Sex Action 2011 Tour

    They still haven't announced the special guests (other than Defryme which I could honestly do without). Though just recently this was posted by the promoter:

     

    "Here's our shortlist of special guests so you fans can encourage one of these bands via the internet, their websites, facebook etc to move quicker onto this tour: Noiseworks, The Baby Animals, The Angels, Rose Tattoo, The Screaming Jetts… Who do youse want???"

     

    For me, all of those bands together can't make up for the loss of Warrant, though if I had to pick I'd probably want to see Noiseworks again.

     

    Oh and every ticket holder can now bring along a friend for free.

  7. Which promotor brought out Winger & Ratt?

     

    Can't recall sorry Justin but I would say that those bands have a bigger fan base down here than Crown Of Thorns etc.

     

    But who knows if this was a success financially or not?

     

    Last year a well known band came out to play Bris/Syd/Melb....great crowds everywhere but the promoter still lost money.

     

    I can only speak for myself, but all the praise from concert goers ain't gonna make me sleep better at night knowing I lost 10K and spent 3 months of my life getting band <ABC> to Australia.

     

    That's true. Maybe if one of these bigger name/experienced promotors took on the job of bringing out some of these "lesser known" bands they might actually be able to do it without making a loss.
