Great pics! The gig was incredible, probably the second best I've been to. All of the new songs they played sounded amazing. And he kept saying "It sounds much better on the album" Craig said some really funny things, its a pitty I couldn't hear a lot of it. I'm really happy with the pics I got, since I always seem to take terrible ones. I'm uploading them at the moment. I also got some video footage which I will try to put on YouTube (if I can work out how to do it)

Ohh woww!! everyone's pics has me all

Craig likes Placebo...cooools!

And i like Brad's shirt. hehe.

All those photos are great, you guys! Can't wait to watch your videos.

Oooh! Love the glove thing! There's hope for Ryan's fashion sense after all. I still spot the BDO shirt (with a stain, ew) and his beloved bag. Awww. He looks great, this man, he does.


This picture made me think of that quote from Jmag ... There's this crazy naivety, like Ryan, his constant thing is: 'Hey...what time do you think it is?' It's like, 'I don't have to think about what time it is, Ryan, I just look at my watch and I know what time it is.'"

For a couple of other pics from the gig go here:

They're mainly of fans in the line, but there are a couple of the band. Also I think they're gonna post an interview with the band and part of the show on the site at some point.

Oh and Bridget can you send me that other pic from after the show? Thanks!

Here's a video I recorded of Scream:

WOW. i cant talk right now. and that video just blows my MIND

Whoa, Scream sounds quite promising.

The Vines Secretly Play Melbourne

Sydney band The Vines played their first Australian gig in years last night at Melbourne's hallowed Tote Hotel.


Kids were lined up for hours to get into the tiny Collingwood venue and some even resorted to dangerously jumping the rather high beer garden fence down onto the uneven pavement.

The Vines, to me, had always been a great studio band and an awful live band, but last night the band showed that they have finally got their act together.

The band belted through an hour's worth of new material, with a few hits thrown in for good measure.

The crowd reacted to hits 'Get Free' and 'Ride' with uber-enthusiasm, singing every word and wildly jumping around to every note, beat or line coming from that stage.

The new songs sounded promising, although not wildly different from anything the band have done before. They've found a winning formula and they're sticking with it.

For those of you who wanted to go but couldn't make it in, the band will be touring later in the year. Stay tuned for details on that.

waaa!!! all those pictures and that video look friggin awesome!!! thanks!

Damn, no Kara Jayne this time? And it is such a fan favorite, they played it at all the US shows, hope they bring it back.

thanks for the interview and pics and vids and everything.

Nice clip...and WOW!! i think i found a winner! I'm a likin' this tune..

And nice pic Allie up there..

Hamish looks very devious with his hand in...wait... is he pickpocketing!?!

Scream?




ah thanx, I thought it wasn't a song and that Craig wrote that he was gonna make a scream





Thanx for all the pics girls, it's amazing!!

Haha, that would be awesome, just imagine him doing the setlist ... "Now, I should probably wrap up with a really loud high-pitched scream ... Yes yes yes, let's put that down so I won't forget."


He probably slid his number into Allie's pocket.

Yeh why not?
And the next time teh set list will be like

DOPE TRAIN
GET FREE
OUTTATHAWAY
DRINK WATER
VISION VALLEY
WINNING DAYS
MRS JACKSON
SMOKE CIGARETTE

etc...





With a little sweeeeet note "call me baby I'll be your fantasy"

Notice the [impressive] bulge in his pocket, too - he doesn't expect us to believe those are his car keys, does he?

Ahahaha oh God *is embarrassed* . Hamish can do way better . He's such a cool guy though, there were a few really nice people hanging around after the gig. So much fun . I also recorded Outtathaway, I'll upload that later tonight. Guh I'm so annoyed I accidentally erased Autumn Shade 3! It was such a good performance though Craig apologised about it because his guitar apparently went out of tune (I didn't notice). Can't wait to see them again later in the year... I just hope I'm not off in remote NSW when they play .

*checks pocket* My wallet is missing!!!

bwahaha I knew it!!

Ali you look so amazing in that photo! I love the jacket so much and your hair looks awesome, different!

Ahaha there was this guy playing pool who made some... uh.... substandard shots... he kept looking at me and claiming my fringe was putting him off . Apparently my fringe is evil and was bringing him bad luck .

Thanks for all the photos!! They're absolutely wonderful
And Craig's Placebo tee... lovely!


Must be fun to know that they remember you

WOW!! Thanks for posting that. What a great tune. I just love it

Its way cool! ..I like the way he sings it..too. ..when he's not screaming..

Well...the song is called "Scream"
I can't really hear anything I sings actually. But it's still good

I cant make out anything either..but it don't matter...yeah..and it still sounds good....i just love it!

ahhhh they sooo need to come to the UK soon!!!!
No Fuck the World????? Wonder if Scream is going to be its replacement as its last song.

Hope not, it would be good to have both! Scream sounds killer!!!
Guess the setlist was more to do with the new stuff because thats what it was promoting!

Really hope in future gigs Animal machine and more highly evolved tracks make a comeback!

yeahhh thats what i thought too i think the song is freakin awesome and its a good last song for a show...
AND they played WINNING DAYS again!!!!

My pics:









Yep, got to meet him again. Even got a hug
I tried to get some videos, but I only got winning days. I tried to get Scream and Jamola as well, but only got a little bit then my memory card said it was full

FUCK YOU ARE SO FUCKIN LUCKY ?!?!?! hope you you know how lucky you are !!!! such a cute picture...!!!

What's that thing Craig's holding?

^i think its a jacket a fan gave him i saw a pic of him wearing it somewhere i think...

All the pictures look great! You girls who got to meet them are sooo lucky
And Scream sounds great too

he's trying to makes us think it's his mobile phone, we all know he still use pigeon to communicate with Craig and Ryan




I knew it!

Don't worry! he's not after your money, he just wanted to keep your ID to have an exuse to visit you




a jacket someone offered him

WOW!! Great pics Lauran!! Soooo happy for you!!
And the one of you two is just And whats with Craig's mouth being so wide open...

Aw cool!! I can't wait to see it

OH MAN you all took some amazing pictures!!! And it's very much appreciated, thanks.



Haha Craig rawks. And he likes Placebo...it's like, what band shirt is he gonna wear next that's also my favorite?




Coooooooolness, I can't wait for the interview! I love their interviews, even though they probably hate them. Ohhhh yeah, and Craig in all black.



Ohhh yes, I love it! Shit, I can feel the energy just from sitting on my ass watching youtube. Also love how everyone was leaving and Craig was still smashing the drumkit, then he threw his jacket over his shoulder like "My job is done here."


and in case you all don't know, there's a lot of videos from that gig HERE

^Thanks for those videos! They're great!

So Craig got a jacket? Awesome. The girl in the cream dress next to me in this pic (Liz) was telling me before the show she'd bought Craig a jacket and really wanted to give it to him, I guess she got to do that .

Dayum, my husband looks so fuckin' haat.

EDIT: PLACEBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That just makes me love him more. IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.

i thought so too... he and his band shirts...love it ^^

thanks for those, they're excellent.
Craig is basically unrecogniseable from the pre VV days- what a show. Top work boys. Can't wait to hear the album in full and see how a full tour goes.

THANX!!!

only a few pics:
http://flickr.com/photos/crazydiamondphotography/

is it me or do Jamola and Blue Jam sound EXACTLY the same!!

Is it me, or do you think Blue Jam may very well be Jamola???

Woah, I was just listening to "Straight Edge" by Minor Threat and I paused it to watch that video of "Scream." I started playing the video and I thought I left the Minor Threat song going. Same two opening chords at the same pace at the same rhythm.

I got parts of True as the night, He's a rocker, Don't listen to the radio and Vision Valley. But none of them are full songs, so I don't think I'm going to bother putting them on YouTube. I also taped Outtathaway accidently, but the camera was pointing at Craig's feet!

Thank you so much for those photos and vids guys! Looks/sounded like the gig was awesome.

Ali/Bridge - Hamish looks really dodgy in that photo with you guys, like "Hell yeah, I have two ladies... Count them! Two!"

I'd like to watch that, please.
