Also, there was some debate about beer prices. I thought about ringing up the Swan Basement to find out what their 'beer special' is and to chuck it on the flyer.. but someone told me Colon Barnett made that illiegal?
FYI:
His Cheap Beer in Perth Facebook group provides each follower with the discount details they want when deciding where to go out for a pint.
He has put together a list of the 10 best pubs in Perth offering cheap beers.
The Como
Often offers monthly specials, such as $6.50 pints of Dry Dock, Carlton Draught or Pure Blonde or $7 pints of Wahoo, or $5 bottles of beer, such as Sol.
Rosie O'Grady's - Fremantle
Irish pubs are often good for beer specials. Thursday nights at Freo are usually when you get a pint of some description for under $7.
Rosie O'Grady's - Northbridge
Offers $6.80 for some pints on Sundays; also other days of the week.
Paddy Maguire's
Been known to offer $6.50 pints of Guinness.
Balmoral
Pretty much offers the same deals as the Como.
The Elephant & Wheelbarrow
$6.50 pints on Thursdays.
Broken Hill Hotel
Was surprised to see them offering a few dollars off Matilda Bay pints the other week - only $8 each for a change, instead of the $9.70 to $10.50 you can usually pay.
Bar 138
Offers $5 pints during happy 5pm-6pm Mon-Thur.
Fenian's
You can often get $6 pints of Guinness here, depending on the time of year.
Your local RSL or bowling club
"Mick Molloy's inspiration for Crackerjack came about purely because he was taking advantage of the cheap beer prices in his local bowling club," Mr Thomas said. "Prices can end up being much, much cheaper in these places. Plus you get to meet a few characters."

I haven't read all 22 pages of this thread but started off at the beginning and found some great points.
I went to Melbourne on work the other week and decided to go early to see a 'local' eastern states show with the 'big names'
The line up was
LORD
Dreadnaught
Frakenbok
Toehider
Septerrus
It was at the Corner hotel (Melbourne's 'capitol'?) and seeing as Lord were flying in from Sydney and the other bands are pretty big I expected to be blown away to some degree..
What I found was that most CD launches at the Amplifier have a much bigger and better turn out and crowd response than this gig. The only reason why the gig might have been smaller than usual is the storm that happened a few hours earlier.. Lord almost didn't make it as their plane was diverted to the ACT.
There might have been 300 payers max but the mosh put was VERY lame for all the bands.
Don't forget Melbourne has a population of 4 million, where Perth is 2 Million!!

This cruise needs some good W.A. representation just like Wacken etc.
Perhaps it should be added to Soundworks Metal Festival Travel?

Extremely jealous!
don't get too jealous, these are just bands I WANT to see.. hopefully wacken/summerbreeeeze will confirm them by the end of the month! a few are confirmed though, check wacken.com or summerbreeze.de
Hollenthon do, I think Ayreon have only been performed by Arjen's other band 'Stream of Passion' ...

bottom heavy chicks 
nah remember your mate morten got rid of her! speaking of which,
Sirenia
Friday 5th February 2010 - Melbourne (Billboard The Venue)
Saturday 6th February 2010 - Sydney (Metro Theatre)
Monday 8th February 2010 - Brisbane (Hi Fi Brisbane)
are you still flying over to see them simon?
I saw Sirenia at summerbreeze 2007 and they were very heavy on the backing track (orch, choir, bass guitar) so I think I would rather see Tristania even though the last couple of albums have been pretty messy..
Im probably most hanging out to see ARKONA but they haven't mentioned any festival dates yet. I also wouldn't mind seeing Eluveitie now that I know most of their stuff.
Also, (adding to the epic Archangel list of course)
Arkangel,
Catamania,
Hollenthon,
Old Man's Child,
Ram-Zet,
Ayreon,
Crematory,
Gardenian (after reforming!)
Finsterforst,
also I noticed you didn't put down Die Apokalyptischen Reeeeeiiiiittttteeeerrrrrrr one of the best live bands ever!

Western Australia / Re: IGI Compilation Naming Competition
« on: December 18, 2009, 09:16:06 PM »
I said maybe something with Western Assault in the title.. the suggestion of Western Alliance is good too.. the bonus with those is the initials are W.A.
that was definitely the plan.
sounds good, then we can entitle the second release W.A.R: W.A.Remix?

« on: December 17, 2009, 03:52:27 PM »This will be Red Descending first gig as a four piece feed, with the backing track playing the symphony parts.
What? No keyboards anymore?
Captain Jim decided to leave R.D. a few months ago as his heart wasn't in it anymore, but he played the last few gigs we had and we gave him a send off at the Voyager Cd Launch (which we were lucky he played because cabba was mucking around in Adelaide with CTT for that festival)
Ian will now go back to writing the majority of the synth/orchestra

the cops were all over the place like white on rice.. my mate counted 28 cops out the front at about 2am, then they stormed the place, apprehending TNT!
I went out the front, pissed as a mule, spoke to some cunstable and told him we weren't the finks.. didn't do much good... everyone get out ok???
