NE OBLIVISCARIS & ALARUM in GEELONG/MELBOURNE: MAY 22/23!

THE FINAL TWO SHOWS OF OUR AUSTRALIAN TOUR! After these shows, at current we have no more planned... of course I can't say we definitely won't be doing anything else (until the album comes out), but after this we may not do anything for a while, so come, come, come. :)

Highly respected worldwide; one of our leading metal exports; and currently working on their new album ‘Natural Causes’ set for release in 2009, ALARUM are back, and better than ever. Rob Brens, Mark Evans and Mark Palfreyman have spent much of the past two years away from the live scene, writing material for their 3rd album, and searching for a new second guitarist to use for their live shows. Having recently played at ProgPower Europe in October 2008 with Cynic and Zero Hour and supported Death Angel & Armored Saint in Melbourne in March, Australia’s masters of tech/death/jazz/fusion are finally doing a couple of huge headline shows here in Victoria! Catch them in Geelong on May 22 at the Barwon Club, and at the Espy in Melbourne on May 23!

With widespread critical acclaim of their live performances and their demo ‘The Aurora Veil’, and with large crowds following them wherever they go, this marks NE OBLIVISCARIS’ final shows of their Australian tour running from March 27-May 23, and taking in Melbourne (AA & 18+ shows), Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Hobart (AA & 18+ shows), Canberra, Sydney & Geelong. This will be one of, if not the last opportunity to see the band perform live before they head into the studio to record their highly anticipated debut album so don’t miss out!

Joining them in Geelong will be local deathcore titans A FALLEN THEORY and symphonic black metallers VEIL OF ANGUISH.

Fresh from the release of their amazing debut album and a supporting slot with Satyricon here in Melbourne in March, AEON OF HORUS (ACT), will also be joining them in Melbourne along with amazing instrumental prog rockers, MUSHROOM GIANT, and the fantastic HOUSE OF THUMBS playing the late show.

Yeah, not too sure why... whoever it was... said that. Whoever was standing with Ben after giggage. *shrug* I'm great at paying attention, clearly.
Honestly, I don't think many people would go. Myself for sure, maybe/probably Brendan. But... Yeah, this is a notoriously clubslut/pub rock/cover band-obsessed area. You guys would scare the poor kids.

You haven't seen scary until you've seen Brendans ''sweat towel'' from the QLD shows.

THAT was scary.
 
WILL have room in my car if people want a lift there/back, I'll probably ask for fuel money, and you will have to deal with being there early/late due to the fact I have to setup/packup.
 
NP. For the females, my ''girl, friend'' will be the one doing the driving seeing as I have lost my license, so fear not, female will be in charge.

Pleasantly toasted? I'm down, we can smoke on the way up and listen to metal \m/.
 
Females are always in charge. /flex
Yesssss I am now officially over-caffienated. Look out, forumz!
Anyway. On a serious note- I'll tentatively reserve a seat for the way there; dunno about back to Melbourne though, as that depends on what Geelong people want to get up to. Though knowing my luck, everyone will be all "Awww I'm so tired, I'm going to go home and sleep". At which point I go on a murderous rampage 'cause damnit I'll be a few hundred k's from home. That calls for party.

As the engineer/roadie I generally have to stay behind and pack up whilst everybody goes off and parties :(.

Just let me know closer to the date.. Ill shoot you my mobile number via PM so you can let me know, seeing as I am spending a week in Brisbane before the gig and won't have internet access.. ew.
 
Meh, I'm happy to act as assistant roadie for the night. At the least, it'll make me laugh my silly arse off. :D
No internet?! How ever will you cope >.>

I honestly don't know! I find ways to entertain myself, getting high with my old band members.. Seeing some of my old friends, partying, going on very expensive dates (so expensive up there).. About it!

Staying with people who have more DVDs then I have had women is a plus. Sit, watch, get stoned, enjoy.

edit: Assistant roadie hey? Does that mean you give me a shoulder rub when I am doing work at the lighting desk? :p
 
Vred shoots, Vred scores.

As soon as I get in abunch of money (see $6,000) I am owed, I will be buying lots of new pretty lights, so my time spent setting up and packing down is gonna be... triple what it is now.
THEN I will be able to use an assistant roadie.. who works for free.
