Does anyone if Black Steel can finally make it across this year? Because if M4TB needs more of something, it's cheesy Power Metal. !:headbang:

Black Steel won't be making it out this year. Dave Harrison has been trying to offload all the band's airline credit he has from last years cancellation to people who are coming over from Perth for it this year. I think they've given up trying especially after the last two attempts (Ansett collapse and cancellation last year).
 
hahah
tip for you easties, Id see Black Steel just to get a glimpse of Jamie Page's mullet, and Dave Harrison screaming 'ARE YOU READY FOR SOME REAL HEAVY METAL'

Well, I's offered for them to come and play the west coast, use up all their airline credit, but Dave never got back to I 'bout it.
I's think it was when they were going through the major lineup changes, so I's don't blame them for not wanting to tour.
And yes, Black Steel have never had much luck when it comes to M4TB.
Oh, well. Could be worse.

btw, when will the other 13 bands be confirmed?

Within the next two weeks hopefully.
Well, they'll announce the full line up on both their new website and Triple J sometime soon.

Anyone got any news on Enter Twilight, Eternal or Intense Hammer Rage?
'Bout time those boys left Tassie for a real gig! :headbang:
 
Heheheh...

Anyway, I think Hobbs is headlining the stage they're on? Or so I'm told... I wouldn't be surprised if Pete Hobbs demanded that he headline a stage. For his sake he'd better not hope he's not on at the same time as D666 otherwise there might not be many people watching him.

Who the fuck are Fort?
Isn't that Forte?
If it is Forte, they are a hard rock/metal act from up th Coast (maybe even the Gold Coast). They seem to have a pretty popular following and not that bad a group really.
Any other bands people want to know about?
 
[sarcasm] Wow [/sarcasm]

There's about 5 bands I want to see and only 2 of thosse I haven't seen before.
I'll probably go for the road trip and other associated activities, but fuck nearly all the bands that are playing, especially on the nuJJJ stage (except for Alchemist of course).
