Metal For The Brain is going ahead!

[Shadow298]

For all those who may not have already heard, Metal For The Brain is offically going ahead, with all that insurance bullshit going ahead.
The date is Saturday the 20th of December at the University of Canberra. Now word on what bands are playing but confirmed acts so far are Destroyer 666 (returning for this and another national tour), Blood Duster, Earth & Astriaal. Also no word on ticket costs but I's would really pay anything to support Alex Hurley and his Family, the National Brain Injury Foundation (who have done a lot to help my's younger brother who has brain damage) and the Australian Metal Scene.
For more details, check the offical M4TB website in the coming days. www.metalforthebrain.com
This is great fucking news for Australian Metal!
Peace

Man, I reckon I'll even make the trek from Tassie and go on the pilgrimage to salvation.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Although I'll only go if we're playing!

Nah, just kidding... I am sooo fucking there!

 

[Goreripper]

Excellent news. I hope they announce most of the line-up from last year, with maybe a few changes here and there. Canberra, here I come.

 

[Twisted Prophecies Entertainme]

20th of Dec, ah! The day after our Hirax (USA)/Kings Evil (Jap) tour finishes. Hopefully we are on the bill too

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Fucking aye! This show is gunna be fucking massive!

 

[darkdreams]

hopefully they will include some newer bands on this year's lineup as the line up for the past few years has been rather stale.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

I agree... they should bring in some new blood

*coughapolyomcough*

 

[KoichCPA]

Todd if you guys spent as much time practicing as you do spamming for gigs, you'd probably get it.

 

[Goreripper]

And none of you softcocks will be able to use the HSC as an excuse not to turn up this year.

 

[darkdreams]

isn't M4TB all ages anyway?

here is my view of last years lineup:

DESTRUCTION -- eh, nothing special
BLOOD DUSTER -- cool but they play all the fucking time
DUNGEON -- cool
EARTH -- cool
FRANKENBOK -- eh
COG -- eh
JERK -- eh
POD PEOPLE -- not bad
ASTRIAAL -- over-rated
DEVOLVED -- see above
PSYCHRIST -- not bad
ALARUM -- cool
CHALICE -- cool
SAKKUTH - ok
DAYSEND - ok
PSYCROPTIC -- cool
MALADICTION -- who the fuck likes this band?
ABORTUS - cool
KIN - ok
ENTER TWILIGHT - cool
CLAUZ - cool

BLACKSTEEL - cool
SUNS OWL - who gives a fuck

Bite me dwarf!

And it may shock you to know that I do spend almost as much time doing both!

 

[Goreripper]

Yes it is. But it's usually on in the middle of exams. This year it isn't, so there's no excuse not to turn up. Even if you don't like half the bands, you can sit out in the car park and drink warm beer until you're sick, so it's not a complete waste of time is it?

Ah, yes! The joys of M4TB.
Setting out in a carpark away from the security boys, getting shitfaced on your own, lukewarm stash and pretty much missing out on a ton of bands.
Sample of a real conversation I's once had with a random Metalhead a few days after the last Metal For The Brain:
Metalhead: "M4TB rocked this year!"
I: "Yeah. What bands did you like best?"
Metalhead: Ah. . . They're all good! But M4TB! Fuck that was good!"
I: "Well, how many bands did you end up seeing?
Metalhead: "A couple. . . I think."
I: "You think?"
Metalhead: "Yeah. . . Well, I was drinking since before we got there, so I must have seen some bands. Look! I've even got a big bruise here! So I must have got into the pit, mustn't I?"
I: "Yes. Either that or you fell over and were kicked by one of your friends out in the carpark to see if you were still alive."
Ah, the joys of drunken heavy metal fans!

[Celestial-Todd]

Sounds like people I know at Morbid Tales!

 

[KoichCPA]

most of mftb's have been car park experiences, it's more fun then watching shit bands.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Then why do you keep going back to the RockApe?

 

[KoichCPA]

cos they sell beer and it's 300m from my house.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

So why the hell have we been paying for a hotel when there's accomodation so damn close!

If you wanna try and fit everyone you come down with in my loungeroom, feel free, just stay the fuck out of my bed.
