Die! Die! Die!, Violent Soho and Mercy Arms added to Homebake line-up

Die! Die! Die! - still the best band on the planet.

It's a cold hard FACT that the line-up for this year's Homebake festival is pretty shit. But it's also a FACT that bogans don't care about 'music' when they go to 'music festivals' and it wasn't really too much of a surprise when it sold out in record time.

Thankfully, the big phat SOLD OUT notice hasn't stopped the organisers from adding some fairly decent acts as part of the second round announcement:

Die! Die! Die!
Violent Soho
Mercy Arms
The E.L.F.
78 Saab
End Of Fashion
N'Fa
Children Collide
Subaudible Hum
Numbers Radio
Grafton Primary
Hamish Mac Leod
The Holidays

The real 'news' out of all this is that it looks like the early rumours are true - Die! Die! Die! will be heading back our way SOON to play some shows! Get excited!
