Well that happened..

- The Snowdroppers at The Gum Ball. Have you ticked them off your to do list yet?  http://www.snowdroppers.com/shows

So this weekend we went the The Gum Ball. A music festival near Maitland in NSW. What can I say really. It rained, it was wet and gross and my hair was frizzy but the food was hot the drinks were cold and the bands rocked my soul.

The day before The Gum Ball we procrastinated from driving and went and bought a sick camera so now we have some great photos to publish in the next edition of Renegades Empire Magazine. So keep an eye out for that. We got to see the Brothers Grim and The Blue Murders again and they made us fall in love again. Those boys are good at that. And we also got the experience The Snowdroppers once again. Johnny Wishbone playing that banjo what else is there really to say. I love a good banjo….

We got the chance to discover some new bands as well which you can read about soon in #4 of Renegades Empire Magazine.

Now that i’m home and dry and drained from the Renegades business meeting we just had i’m off to bed so I can get up tomorrow morning and finish off #4 and get to the printers on time so you can all enjoy a good read. Your going to love the next issue it’ll scare your socks off.

Get to a gig. Fall in love with a new band. Tell us about it.

Theres the sweet smell of change in the air

…or maybe thats just the gypsies.

After spending 4 days in Melbourne with a gig every night then returning to Sydney to see Lyle Lovett one night and Gogol Bordello the next, we wake up early Thursday morning, having missed our printing deadline (31st) and we had a long 800km drive to Lightining Ridge for the Goat Races over the Easter weekend. Right now we’re in a tour bus, driving home, we’ve just hit send on the artwork for the 3rd edition of Renegades Empire Magazine, 4 days late and i’m really keen to see another gig. Living the dream.

With all the love and hate mail coming in each day we’ve decided it’s time to make a few changes with our magazine. We’ve got a few new writers, alot more articles and a whole new concept in store for the future so if you would like any input in the stuff you read about in Renegades Empire Magazine, now is the time to tell us. Voice your opinion on how you want the music of Australia to be represented and tell us about any bands you think should be covered.

Now while your all clinging tightly to copies of Issue 1 & 2 and waiting intensely for the release of Issue 3 – GO TO SOME GIGS, BUY SOME CD’S, SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC.

We’ve also got some exciting oppourtunities coming up for you to be a part of Renegades Empire Magazine and some very cool competitions so keep your eyes peeled here and on our Facebook http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100000393965212 for more details.
