Australia Day Live '07

10 January 2007 | johnboy

Another Australia Day Beckons, and with it Australia’s worst music festival in the form of “Australia Day Live” at Parliament House.

Thanks to Bighead for the reminder, you can see the line-up in all its glory on the dedicated website.

The announced acts are: The Whitlams (token Canberra?), The Audreys, Guy Sebastian, TV Rock, Sick Puppies, Bobby Flynn, Renee Geyer, and the cast from Priscilla Queen of the Desert – the Musical.

Now I’ll concede there are some good acts on that lineup, but I’d love to meet (but not for too long) the person who won’t actively loathe some part of it.

Australia Day live is shiite! Unless you’re 2 metres from the stage, the other 90% of the audience are just there as fillers for the TV pimps. The event is geared as a broadcast event and the constant TV ad breaks are annoying from a live audience perspective. And Gretel Killeen (hopefully sheâ€™s not hosting it again) is more annoying than 20 Guy Sebastians – who I’d be willing to bet can carry a tune far better than anyone here… despite his unfortunate part in the Idol fiasco.

you guys should check out Quagmire!!!
I have caught them around town and they are a great Canberra band… from the Queen herself – bugger Parliament House, go and check out some local talent and support them!

They had a point about the pokies, I thought.

Thw Whitlams…. the eternal singing whingers.

Seepi pay attention if you choose to burst into song.

Cotter never been the same since I cant buy callippos from there

The Cotter event’s my pick. I find Glebe Park an inconvenient location.

With a few baby boomer token artists like Renee.

My teen daughter and friends are going this year, and I went a coupla years ago with my teen son and friend – had a ball it poured with rain for about ten mins but no one cared, a nice friendly vibe. I had to stand on the esky to see anything though. Definitely aimed at the younger crowd.
