Corinbank 2009 - First lineup announcements

Eyeball into mod until such time as we see a positive, constructive comment.

I’d like to note that they’ve been an extremely marginal commenter for a long time on many issues.

How the f%^ck would you know that there’s nothing local to support? How often do you go to see live music from local bands?

Why do people let their standards drop for these kinds of events just because it’s a local product?

“OK, the bands are terrible, and it costs $90….. but let’s support local music. Woohoo!”

Personally, I can’t understand that kind of mentality. I’ll support local music if there is something tangible there to support. I don’t feel like I need to support it just because of the postcode.

Well eyeball, I’m really not interested in the views of recluses on social events.

Take this as your last warning.

Fixed.

I missed out last year and I’ve been reminded all year as to how good it was.
In my opinion I don’t even care who’s playing ,although the lineup looks pretty good to me. I want to go and support a fledgling festival in my hometown, so we can get more and more of these types of things happening. Go you corinbank legends!

With a new Festival like Corinbank I think they need to do everything they can to get the name of their event out to the wider public. If that means hurling glitter in the air everytime anything even remotely exciting happens then I say GO TEAM.

also I am sure that there are some people that find the first lineup announcement super exciting

Eyeball’s right though, isn’t he? The festival organisers want your $90 early so it can ‘rest’ in their account and earn a little bit of interest, but then the ‘first lineup announcement’ is, with the best will in the world, extremely underwhelming. Andi & George? Can’t I see them in a pub for a tenner? It makes the whole thing look like a bit of a farce. By all means announce that tickets are available – the folk beardies and hippies will be buying them anyway- but don’t try and dress up the ‘announcement’ as something of an event in it’s own right- because it isn’t.

Well eyeball, we’re really not interested in the views of recluses on social events.

Take this as your last warning.

If you don’t count the wife.

But yes, I’d rather be alone with my record player than surrounded by an array of terrible bands.

Yes, you do seem like the sort of person who would have more fun on their own.

It is a shame you are not coming, Eyeball! I think you would have an awesome time.

Nah, that $90 could get me a case of Hoegaarden, and then I could spend my day listening to tone and my ears wouldn’t feel so mollested.

Eyeball seems desperately intent on having a perfectly miserable time.

Judging by this ‘first announcement’ and last years lineup I think they would be better off asking for a gold coin donation.

splutter! Now that’s just being cruel. I bet there will be clowns, a jumping castle and face painting.

and a stall offering sandals knitted from hemp.

Wow. Great Idea!

Here’s an idea…don’t go! Simple really.

> They want to charge people $90 for this?

Looks ok to me…and besides, you can’t read the “first line-up announcement” part? Suggests there’ll be more I would have though, maybe that’s just me.

They want to charge people $90 for this?
