Sounds of Spring – 3rd announcement!

We’ve always held a very special place in our hearts for Frenzal Rhomb (except Poleski). Dating back to the days of 1996 when we use to attend u18 gigs a the Sutherland Entertainment Centre. In April we attended their comeback show at the Metro. It was just like old times – sweat, circle pits, beer and moshing. It turns out the comeback show wasn’t just a one off or a desperate attempt to keep the band above the poverty line. Frenzal Rhomb really are back!!! And will be making their return to the festival scene, playing at the Sounds of Spring festival in September!

Bands joining Frenzal at the festival include The Living End, Timmy (we love you) Rogers, indie pop outfit I Heart Hiroshima, pretty boy Josh Pyke, Shihad (the band once known as Pacifier), Nancy Vandal (once more proving 90s punk rock is back), plus many more. And today the people of Sounds of Spring announced that a further 23 acts will be added to the line up, including the delightful and wonderful Tex Perkins. We can only hope and pray this re-vitalises T’N'T (aka the Timmy and Tex extravaganza). Other acts annouced today include Salmonella Dub, Something With Numbers, Kram, Calling All Cars , Further (!!!!!) Hungry Kids of Hungary, The Scare (tantrums!), The Amity Affliction (token ultra angry band) and many more.

Sounds of Spring festival has an all-Australian (plus a couple of NZ-ers) line up and is happening at the RNA Showground in Brisbane on Saturday 26th September. Tickets will put you back about $85.
