Summer shows wrap-up
Following the long awaited announcement last week regarding the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' sideshows, it seemed as good as time as ever to do a quick little summary of the billion or so gigs that are happening over this year's summer festival season.
I am sure this is incomplete, so feel free drop any I have missed into the comments.

Gig Review: Big Day Out @ Sydney Showground - 23/01/2010
O-faces, mild gerning, camel toes and the usual wankbot antics from modern day 'rock stars'. Hello Big Day Out!
King Khan & The Shrines and Future Of The Left release limited edition tour singles
To commemorate their Australian tours/sideshows this week King Khan & The Shrines and Future Of The Left have both announced that they'll be releasing special limited edition 7" singles.
Why? is on tonight!!!
Kyu will replace Danimals as the opening act at tonight's Why? Sydney show. Playing times:Gig Review: Animal Collective @ Enmore Theatre - 11/12/2009
Last week I predicted that this concert was going to be the defining moment in the relationship between myself and Animal Collective. I saw it as the perfect opportunity to decide once and for all whether or not I liked this band, loved this band or thought they were nothing more than another over-hyped blog band, destined for the Internet wasteland where Tapes N Your Hands Say Yeah hang out, play ping pong and talk about the good ol' days.
Gig Review: Homebake @ The Domain - 05/12/2009
The Festival Ladies, minus Mrs Pop who is currently lost to the Seattle grunge movement, attended Homebake on the weekend. The much loved Aussie / NZ festival once again did not disappoint. Futurama tattoos, vodka infused slurpees, the revival of the epic 90s band Tumbleweed, interpretive dancing, vodka smuggled in via Ribena squeezies and yet another moshpit injury... it had it all.
This weekend in Sydney: Animal Collective, Modular Xmas Party, Hard-Ons 25th anniversary show
The weather is starting to get warmer, heros/zeros are starting to get looser and people are slowly getting smashed off 'Xmas spirit'.In case you missed it news: Crocodiles, The Jezabels, Children Collide
We are still playing catch-up this week, so those 'all up in the news' will probably know all of this...
Why? - Eskimo Snow
Rap may have died but as one third of seminal rap meets ambient drone group cLOUDDEAD Yoni Wolf helped revive it's auto-tune bloated corpse with minimalist four track recording and bizarre sampling. From the ashes of that group Why? was born, originally a sparse acoustic guitar driven solo project and now a fully fledged band, Why? effortlessly combined elements of folk, pop and rap. The first full band record, Elephant Eyelash was infinitely re-playable and a grand example of why Yoni has the sharpest wit in music. The band's third record Alopecia contained both soaring vocals and contorted raps, Wolf mining the depths of his own psyche for our benefit. Eskimo Snow, their latest, does away with any of the hip hop trappings, leading to a mature, nuanced alternative pop record.
Why? - These Hands / January Twentysomething
A brilliantly shot video for the opening pair of songs from Why's latest record Eskimo Snow.
Sydney Festival 2010 program - Al Green, Dirty Three, Laughing Clowns, Severed Heads, The Reels, DJ Yoda, Camera Obscura
Once again the Sydney Festival seems to have trumped the other big summer events (umm.. BDO) with a fairly diverse line-up for their 2010 program.
Grizzly Bear announce Melbourne and Perth sideshows
Settle down Harbour City indie kids, apparently a Sydney date is on the way.
Sideshow 'mania' - Chairlift, The Phenomenal Handclap Band, White Rabbit, Datarock
Brooklyn. Wacky. Brooklyn. Brooklyn. Norway.
The Big Day Out 2010 line-up sucks
The early rumours of Blink 182 turned out to be false. As did the late rumours of David Blowie making an appearance. Instead what we got was the same familiar suspects and nothing really too exciting (I mean.. besides Mastadon!!).
YACHT sideshows announced
Following on from the news earlier today that YACHT would be making an appearance at this year's Meredith Festival, the Portland wunder-duo have now revealed the details of their own mini East Coast tour.
Why? sideshows announced
Along with their appearance at this year's Meredith Festival the group will be playing their own shows in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
YACHT - See Mystery Lights
Summer is coming, which can mean only one thing - fluoro cut off shorts. Summer is a great time. All that excessive flesh exposure makes you all wet/horny and the bucketloads of sweet cancer shooting down from Zeus really warms the soul. But you need something to blast in your Sony Walkman while you rollerblade down the boardwalk with half your ass cheeks exposed to the world.
Crocodiles - Summer Of Hate
It wasn't until the other day when I mentioned my excitement over the possibility of catching the Crocodiles this summer that I realised we had never actually mentioned them within the cosy confines of this 'webspace'. Apologies to you good sir/madam.
Video: YACHT - Psychic City (Voodoo City)
The video for YACHT's latest single Psychic City (Voodoo City) is one of the most amazing/confusing things my eyes have had the pleasure of witnessing in some time.
Future Of The Left sideshows!!!
Exclamation marks needed? Well, that's really just for the folks out there who have been excitedly refreshing the Internet waiting for this news to drop. You know who you are.Meredith 2009 line-up announced
Sadly, the early rumours of Band Of Horses, Afrika Bambaataa, The Vaselines and Gang Gang Dance were horse shit.
