there is the twang festival.
there is the murdered city festival at the ford plant.
there is three gut records day on the 20th.
there is a country jamboree.
there is limpwrist at vazaleen.
there is the kick up your heels festival.
there is the east coast festival feat. the likes of joel plaskett.

ETC.

cheers

i appear to have been mistaken then... murdered city fresitval had the fembots playing (they seem to get better everytime i see them).

but you are gold, i didn't know about the east coast thing, and it's harbourfront so it's free right?... well that doesn't matter because it meets the requirement of fitting in to my 3 days off till september work scheduale.

morag

the fact that the fembots are not the best thing about that festival means great things.

i will make you a list because i cannot let you diss august. actually. i just really cannot read the words that sloan is the best thing about august. no offence jay.
