I'm hearing that the Chemical's are almost a certainty to headline the Boiler Room next year. :D :D :D



That's a possible 5 shows in 4 weeks. Might save up and go to at least 2! Among other things, I'll finally be able to get a shirt.



The Prodigy have also expressed interest. 8)



I guess there'll be some big name metal act(s). Them pesky drunken, drugged up metal fans always crash the Boiler Room.



I'll just have to get onto that mixing podium in the middle somehow... well, i'm only 168cm tall, ffs!

here are the dates for Big Day Out 2005:



Fri 21st Jan AUCKLAND - New Zealand.



Oz:

Sun 23rd Jan GOLD COAST

Wed 26th Jan SYDNEY (Australia Day public holiday - one show only)

Sun 30th Jan MELBOURNE

Fri 4th Feb ADELAIDE

Sun 6th Feb PERTH

My bad, it's 5 gigs in just over 2 weeks.

Fuck yeah, I've been really looking forward to bdo2005 for this very reason :D. I stupidly missed the chems when they came out here for Come With Us. Looking at the track lists for recent sets it looks like it'll be a fuckin amazing show... The big question - to be straight for it or not? :)



It'd be amazing if Prodigy came as well. Have you heard their new album?? It rocks hard (well, most of it...)

Boiler room, three rows from the front, smack in the centre, covered in other peoples sweat, sober and having the best, most extended, moment of my life. Yes that?s right, that was what it was like for myself at the New Zealand Big Day Out 05. "The Brothers" had returned to our shores. Love was in front of us all - two soul chef's dishing up a ten course degustation of delectable ear candy and emotional satisfaction. These two had replaced adhocism with precision. New Zealand (I) was owned!



The emotion, plastered like paint, on every one of the faces in the crowd was nothing short of insane. It must have been amazing for them to see this. There was just an enthralled mass of people begging for the moment to never end. There were two, rather minute, AV screens placed either side of the 'opulent' decks and I tell you what ? those audiovisuals had me guessing. But then, wait for it, the two screens drifted into the background as this GARGANTUAN backdrop opened up and?.the images? the visuals?the sound?.the feelings?inexplainable with words, invaded everyone?s conscious (unconscious) mind?.and that was only the first two minutes!!!



What followed was another one of their infamous live shows that pushed a few peoples buttons and helped others code their own. I recall one avid crowd sweater ask me (in downtime before the encore) ?So you having a good time?? my response ?Of course I am! I?m amongst family!?.



These two brothers are audacious, provocative and essential in this day and age and I am one, of many I?m sure, who are glad they have continued to carry on their pioneering ways and bring their expertise to the ears of the mass listener. May the reverberation of their minds continue to be heard for many more decades. Yes boys - Love is All!!

Front and centre for Perths big day out and wow these two boys are totally out of control !!!!! they have filled tha missing gap in my electronic musical life thats for sure !!! big up's for Tom and ED !!!!

aussie_girl, glad to see yet another enthused, happy Chems-going Australian who had a wicked night out!

Ohhh yes, it is unfortunate that the likely hood of getting these two heroes back to aus is what ill call slim, hence iam hoping upon all hopes that they stick around till 2007 when iam moving over to yonder!!!
