Sorry to everybody else in Australia, but yet again we have organised ANOTHER Smashing Pumpkins Tribute night. This one promises to be bigger and better than our previous one held in 2003. (Yes it WAS that long ago). We hope to see everybody from Perth there this time, for a show that will be filled with many good memories. Here are the details: Venue: The Monkey Bar (previously known as The Globe) Date: 5th March 2005 Time: 8 till late Cost: $7 Who playing? Nina X (http://www.mp3.com.au/artist.asp?id=11002) Tragic Delicate (http://www.tragicdelicate.com) Slunk (a cover band put together for the night, playing a full hour set of Smashing Pumpkins covers) We will be recording the night, so if you can't make it from interstate, than thats ok ... but if you live in Perth - NO EXCUSE! Hope to see you there, Sunky and Pants

well ... what a fucking night. the bands were great, it was a rock n roll night, the sound desk caught on fire (according to Parka > it couldn't handle the Pumpkins sound), we pulled a crowd of just under 350 people, the night was insane. There were photo's and video from the final band, Slunk. They'll be up soon enough, all I have to say is thankyou to everybody who came down .... now i must sleep ... i have had 4 hours sleep and drank way to much beer.

Maybe next time (if there's a next time!) we'll cover more rarities and attempt to pull off Silverfuck!

Damn you all to hell, hehehe.
It would be so cool if we could do the same sorta thing in Sydney. Just to bring back memories-it's been so long since the pumpkins were at their peak-I'd really like to relive that.

im in the photo above the guy on the far right with the drinks tray covering my head hi sime i would like to extend my gratitude to the brunky for the an amazing night, i know of the work and commitment you two put into getting it running and im sure everyone who was there appreciates it emmencely <(sp), anyway i had a great night it was good to catch up and see you guys, vic and jesse too (big hugs you two). that night was the first time in along time i have listened to the pumpkins insuch an amount, and even though they were all covers (played amazingly) i left at the end of the night wondering why the hell i let it slip away. Nina X was gold, the end is the beginning is the end, clear on kicked my ass, it was... for lack of a better word shithot, and that guy who came on with tragic delicate and sang quiet and where boys... brilliant and of course Slunk, hows that for an hour of power. ive seen the pumpkins live in 96 and i must say boys, nailed, very impressed thanks again to the brunky for a great night p.s it was good to see some old friends and meet some new ones too..., and to see a shitload of people turn up, gave me warm and fuzzy feelings in my beer drenched belly

Proboards are being teh stink again and I keep being logged out. How totally "meh".
The Pumpkins night, was GOLD! It was a first class event in rawking. It was so awesome to catch up with everyone and rawk out. Vodka is your friend! (cheeseburgers are another story)
Parka Warka - you sir are a champion. it was so so so so so good to catch up with you. Hurry up and come to melbourne!
Simon and Bree - It really goes without saying, you already know how much Jesse and I love you! It was a great night and you guys have done yourselves and Ozphoria proud! Rawwrrr big with the love.
Everyone else. It was cool to put faces to names, names to screennames, catch up with old friends and what not.

Yep, I did a recording from the desk for both Tragic Delicate and Nina X. I would've done it for Slunk aswell but y'know... mixing desk blew up Both sound awesome. Although the Nina X stuff with the band sounds a little messy, the songs with her on vocals and piano sound awesome though. I'll get em online soon. Maybe Simon/Bree... if I upload them somewhere temporarily, can you nab them and host them on Ozphoria? I am still so gutted I couldn't soundboard Slunk's set, 18 songs!!!!! GAH! I wanna hear how Jon's video cam recorded it. Get ahold of it ASAP Simon! Daaaamn Glass And The Ghost Children was smooth
