It did not dissapoint. We got to the gig about 2 pm, so we missed out on a few acts ( smaller bands). We arrived at the Claremont Showground to the sounds of Evermore. A great New Zealand band which has been taking over the Australiasin music scene. I was incredibly skeptical of the band as television performance left me doubtful in the bands live ability. This was all put to rest as the songs Light Surrounding You, Running, It's too Late and Only For One Day rang throughout the grounds. The set was huge the drummer dressed in a red suit, genious on the kit his  constant energy fueled the set. We didn't stick around for the full set as we went to find the Sleepy Jacksons. Whom we ended up walkign past as some drunken looser pointed us in the wrong direction.  So we ended up missing the set, so we gave up and went to catch scribe , who mind you was so good. Next on the list was My Chemical Romance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;MCR were on the top of my list for bands to see. I am a fan of there music with Helena making it onto my top 20 greatest songs ever. ( due to film clip). We weren't able to get into the mosh, but we had a great spot. They opened with I'm not Okay which I loved. The highlights of the set were Welcome to the black Parade, Cancer and Helena. MCR were probably my favourite band of the day. They were the first band to get the crowd really going. I am glad Gerard dyed his hair black, I don't think the blonde was really working for him. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Next we were on a breather and went to the drinking area to chill out to eskimoe joe and John Butler. They both sounded really good , but eskimoe joe I feel have become really comercial, but hey you have to, to sell records.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;During JBT I was supose to go see Kasabian ( previous blog) I missed out on the beginning half. Myself and friends sprinted across the grounds after skulling our beers ( incredibly tipsy at that time ) We caught a few of there songs and as usual they were awesome. I just can not fault this band . They are by far one of my favourites. They play great indie music which you can dance to. We were definatley dancing. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Unfortunately Kasabian played up to 6, which wa swhen the killers started , so after leaving during the Kasabian set we raced to get into the mosh for the killers. But low and behold they were not letting anyone in. This was not good as we were squashed in the crowd, who kept pushing forward trying to break the barriers. It was not fun and the killers started and we couldn't see them. So eventually we left the crowd and moved to the sides. The killers were smazing. Brandon Flower looked great as usual. The vaourite songs of the set were Mr Brightside and All the things I've done. I still don't really like there new stuff I find there isn't the perzaz of the old stuff. The songs are a little boring.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;The rest of the day was a bit of a run around. As I did not have anyone els eon my list to see. So we just sat and ate and rested. Jet were really good, with their radio friendly set list. We caught the last of Muse, the stage setup was great and there sounds was quite good, but I really don't know any of there stuff. Tool were the last band we saw and I didn't know any of there stuff. There performance was good , but they just played such long intros to their songs that most of the time I was bored. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Overall the Big Day Out 2007 was a fun festival. It would ave to be one of the best music gigs I have been to for a while. I recommend anyone to go out and see these bands if you have the chance. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-117065610611899769?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/117065610611899769/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=117065610611899769' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/117065610611899769'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/117065610611899769'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2007/02/big-day-out-2007.html' title='Big Day out 2007'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-117033935590817488</id><published>2007-02-01T23:07:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2007-02-01T23:15:56.600+09:00</updated><title type='text'>The Ataris are Back</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1145/923/1600/295725/1501383186_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1145/923/320/236474/1501383186_l.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes you heard it . The Ataris are releasing there new Album " Welcome the Night" on the 20th of Feb. Preorders are available at &lt;a href="http://theataris.sanctuaryrecords.com/"&gt;http://theataris.sanctuaryrecords.com/&lt;/a&gt; . I am really ecited as I have heard an unmastered version of the new stuff and all I can say is don't expect all of the young school punk music. What I have heard sounds mellowed down and Chris's voice is so different, there is more tone and definition with his notes. His voice is definately on show. I hope this album does good. It has been a whole 4 years in the making.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-117033935590817488?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/117033935590817488/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=117033935590817488' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/117033935590817488'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/117033935590817488'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2007/02/ataris-are-back.html' title='The Ataris are Back'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-117030294651647585</id><published>2007-02-01T12:54:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2007-02-01T13:09:06.540+09:00</updated><title type='text'>Screaming for Attention</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1145/923/1600/806985/436720913_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1145/923/320/676628/436720913_l.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1145/923/1600/708504/l_67f88690cd762fdb8876b5c1badec9fb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1145/923/320/154502/l_67f88690cd762fdb8876b5c1badec9fb.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.screamsfordylan.com"&gt;www.screamsfordylan.com&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/screamsfordylan"&gt;www.myspace.com/screamsfordylan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Screams for Dylan is a band which I haven't personally seen even if they do gigs in my area. I regret this a lot and I know I need to get my arse into gear and go see them. The boys are from Western Australia and play some great alternative music. They only have few demos out at the moment, but are in the process of recording new music. They recently played at the Rollercoaster festival in Mandurah and the reviews from there set were that they rocked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their song Finally realizing your mistake is a hit waiting to happen . The change in pace from 1st verse to pre chorus is great . The vocals sound a lot like Adam Duritz from the counting crows. With a bit more experience and new recordings this band is going to be big. The West Australian music scene is so vibrant at the moment , their is an abundance of talented bands coming through including Scream for Dylan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merch will soon be available at their site. You can only currently buy from gigs.&lt;br /&gt;Recording available later.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-117030294651647585?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/117030294651647585/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=117030294651647585' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/117030294651647585'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/117030294651647585'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2007/02/screaming-for-attention.html' title='Screaming for Attention'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-117030169946960625</id><published>2007-02-01T12:34:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2007-02-01T12:52:00.836+09:00</updated><title type='text'>Big Gigs</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1145/923/1600/121413/933423704_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1145/923/320/897974/933423704_l.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This weekend I will be going to the Big Day Out, which I am really excited about. I get to see some hot bands such as The Killers, Muse, My Chemical Romance and one in particular KASABIAN. This band knows how to work the crowd and play some great music. I was lucky enough to see them in 2005 at the Summer Sonic festival and ever since then I have been a huge fan. They released their second album last year titled Empire. In contrast to the previous self titled album they sound a lot more mature and lyrically ripe. The song Shoot the Runner has been getting a lot of airplay as did the song Club foot, which you may have heard on the trailer for Goal, CSI and many other shows. In other words these guys are getting heard! So in the spirit of brit rock I dare you to go listen to this band you won't be let down&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kasabian.com"&gt;www.kasabian.com&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/kasabian"&gt;www.myspace.com/kasabian&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p.s I know they aren't signed to an indie label. But I still classify them as Indie Electronica Rock&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-117030169946960625?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/117030169946960625/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=117030169946960625' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/117030169946960625'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/117030169946960625'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2007/02/big-gigs.html' title='Big Gigs'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-116770782704383552</id><published>2007-01-02T12:16:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2007-01-02T12:17:07.090+09:00</updated><title type='text'>Ronnie Day "Outside" Sony BMG Music Entertainment</title><content type='html'>&lt;table xmlns="http://purl.org/atom/ns#" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;embed flashvars="" id="VideoPlayback" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=7352928740790985319&amp;amp;hl=en-AU" style="width:400px; height:326px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt; &lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr/&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Ronnie Day "Outside" Sony BMG Music Entertainment rock alt indie music video&lt;br /&gt;                &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-116770782704383552?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/116770782704383552/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=116770782704383552' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/116770782704383552'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/116770782704383552'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2007/01/ronnie-day-outside-sony-bmg-music.html' title='Ronnie Day &quot;Outside&quot; Sony BMG Music Entertainment'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-116589098095605745</id><published>2006-12-12T11:23:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2006-12-12T11:36:20.966+09:00</updated><title type='text'>The Perfcet Victim</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1145/923/1600/822588/1338599418_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1145/923/320/978374/1338599418_l.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1145/923/1600/864734/1121675443_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1145/923/320/222268/1121675443_l.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theperfectvictimrock.com"&gt;www.theperfectvictimrock.com&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/theperfectvictim"&gt;www.myspace.com/theperfectvictim&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Perfect Victim are a punk rock outfit from California. They seem to be the new breed of music which is coming out at the moment. Not that I am complaining. These guys are a good looking bunch and they play some great music. They are getting a lot of attention around the world, due to their great marketing of the band. The Perfect Victim have featured on the big West coast radio station KROQ as I was sitting there for a while waitign for thei song to come one. ( thank god for interent radio)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway onto their music. It is a heavier form of punk rock and has some great riffs. Jeff Dagastino is greta on lead vocals he has a great voice which is quite distinctive. The band play some hard music and must get plenty of credit. The songs which I have heard so far are Emergency , Let it Go and Looser which all have a fun punk melody and tune which is greats to listen to at a loud volume.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would recomend these guys to people who like 30 seconds to mars and other alt/rock./punk/emo bands on the scene at the moment. I say go have a listen to this band and judge for yourself .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;till next time&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-116589098095605745?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/116589098095605745/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=116589098095605745' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/116589098095605745'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/116589098095605745'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2006/12/perfcet-victim.html' title='The Perfcet Victim'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-116057508781296827</id><published>2006-10-11T21:38:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-10-11T21:58:07.853+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tasting the Chaos</title><content type='html'>Last night I attended the Australian (Perth) leg of Taste of Chaos . The line up read like this Parkway Drive , Senses Fail , Underoath , Anti Flag , Thursday , Saoisin and Taking Back Sunday . Okay depending on your music tastes you would have loved to have been there or else you would have been bored to tears. I was somewhere in between .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To begin with the location was an issue. Half of the stadium was not even full . The seating plans were thrown out as obviously ticket sales were poor. Compared to last years event , which was over sold . The Burswood Dome , is not a good place to hold such a small stage as the sound quality in the building is lacking in acoustics . This is my personal opinion , but anyone would be able to pick up on it as soon as you enter. So enough of the venue .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We arrived half way through Parkway Drive .Who are a up and coming Australian Screamo band. Let's just say they were not something I would go out of my way to see. Every word which left the bands mouth was screamed loud enough to shatter our eardrums. The lack of momentum in the music. It really left for a boring 10 minutes of which we were forced to listen music we have no intention of ever buying .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next up was Senses Fails . Thank god for them . They were a band that I had heard of in the past . Their hit Buried a Lie was the highlight . This maybe because it was one of the only songs I knew . With that aside . This band can put on an awesome punk rock show . Minus their moments of screamo . As you can tell I a not a fan of the style . Overall I think this band has incredibly solid performance and have a great sense of humor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One word Underoath. !! Enough said. They were one of the worst bands I have seen . I have never been more bored in my life . They were the epitome of metal hard rock crossed with screamo. Don't ge time wrong I know fans of the band would have been impressed , but I for one was not . From here I learnt my lesson of never going to a concert with a blind eye to bands on the line up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anti-flag followed with a great show. I had read an article about this band in the paper a few weeks ago. This was of course about their political views against George Bush . This was their main theme through out their performance. They constantly asked the audience to look after one another whether any race religion , sexual orientation . This was something which is not really known in the punk rock genre. But these guys know how to work a crowd and this was the main factor as to why I enjoyed there music .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thursday were next up and I had high hopes for this band . I had heard such great things and also listened to a few of their songs. They did not disappoint , they were so energetic and their songs were so similar sounding to the record. A bonus for the band was their announcement of allowing people to download their songs , if the record was to expensive to buy. The highlight of their time on stage was their performance of the hit song 4,3,2,1 counting . I love it . This band were the instigators for the momentum change of the night . I was suddenly excited to see the other bands still to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suprisingly one of the most anticipated bands Saosin were performing on the side stage. I don't know why this was , but all I can say is I am a FAN . This band rocked they punk rocked their way through the set . The lead singer was amazing working the crowd and constantly thanking the people of Perth for their support. It came across as though they did not know they were so popular down under . But after the show I am sure they had gained an even larger following. The highlight of this was Sleeper a new song from their new self titled album . All I can say is if you get a chance to see this band do it . They are going to be huge next year HUGE .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the finale Taking Back Sunday . The band everyone came to the show to see . I love this band even more then when I went in to the gig . They were working the stage better then any of the others. The crowd was going insane . They kind of reminded me of My Chemical Romance , which was a little weird. But who cares when you are in the presence of this band . I left the gig singing Make Damn Sure and they did just that . They made damn sure that everyone left as happy customers. So like Saosin go see this band if you can . You will not be disappointed . Also go out and buy their record " Louder Now "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Overall the tour was good. They should have got rid of some of the earlier bands. Or else start from the headline acts to the others. I know that is harsh , but I am being honest. The ticket to the gig was a present , which I am thank ful for . But if I did pay for it I would be a little annoyed , only because I did not do my research before going .&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-116057508781296827?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/116057508781296827/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=116057508781296827' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/116057508781296827'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/116057508781296827'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2006/10/tasting-chaos.html' title='Tasting the Chaos'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-116038157791967108</id><published>2006-10-09T15:48:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-10-09T16:12:57.993+08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Petalstones are so "Hot" right now</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/1131190593_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/320/1131190593_l.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/172886353_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/320/172886353_l.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thepetalstones.com"&gt;www.thepetalstones.com&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/thepetalstones"&gt;www.myspace.com/thepetalstones&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.purevolume.com/ozono"&gt;www.purevolume.com/ozono&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't worry it isn't Paris Hilton, but it is The Petalstones ( previously known as Ozono. They are a hot band coming out of California. With Malin Akerman ( Luna on the TV show The Comeback. Her band did a guest appearence ep 7) on vocals and a powerhouse band Francesco, Roberto and Mario backing her presence. The band is amazing . They have a similar feel to evanecense , but create their own sound , which is unique amongst the long list of music flooding our airwaves at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The track " Take it or leave it " ( purevolume under Ozono) is an abstract song. The introduction tricks you into thinking that you have put your closet Irish traditional CD in the player . But after 10 seconds the distorted guitars over power the classical instrument and we are meet with Malins' angelic but rock goddess voice. The song Poison is a great rock track to get angry at . I swear if you are in a bad mood , put this song in you stereo and turn it up . Or you know in the car and turn it up, you will feel so much beter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The band have recently released their EP under the title of Stung . It is available at record stores in Hollywood, on there website and also CD Baby ( international ) . For all of you who are into i-tunes go their and download the record.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This band has the charisma, music and looks which will definately get them noticed. So go give them a try , hopefully you will love them as much as I do .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take Care&lt;br /&gt;Lavina&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-116038157791967108?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/116038157791967108/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=116038157791967108' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/116038157791967108'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/116038157791967108'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2006/10/petalstones-are-so-hot-right-now.html' title='The Petalstones are so &quot;Hot&quot; right now'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-116031270948089791</id><published>2006-10-08T20:44:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-10-08T21:05:09.546+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ronnie Day, Elani and Brightwood News</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/504022807_m.png"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 167px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 155px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="220" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/320/504022807_m.png" width="226" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay long time no type .

Due to Myspace adding. They are called Lightbreak and they can be found in the lovely state of Oregon ( surprise , surprise. All good music comes from there. ) Lightbreak are an Indie Rock pop band which plays some tight music. The band consists of Karl Raymond Wolf , Christopher Dean Bevan , Joel Andrew Timon .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The group have recently come off tour with Brightwood. ( previously mentioned band ) And are at the moment looking to save funds to record their next record. So please help these muso's out and get over to their myspace and donate even a dollar to their kitty . They really need to get new music put down .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stylistic wise this band is hot . They remind me of coldplay, especially in the song "Not so Easy to Love" . Christophers' vocals are incredibly strong in the song and are a stand out . I don't know what to say , I really love their music and I know that I could easily sit hear and listen to them while chilling out in the sun . There definately should be some record labels interested in them , as they are any A&amp;amp;R's dream .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So go check their stuff out and enjoy the sounds of Lightbreak .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care and don't forget to donate on their myspace.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-115744944819393017?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/115744944819393017/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=115744944819393017' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115744944819393017'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115744944819393017'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2006/09/lightbreak.html' title='lightbreak'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-115744506885752697</id><published>2006-09-05T16:13:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-09-05T16:31:08.866+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Monday in London</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/1010619449_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/320/1010619449_l.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/791306689_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/320/791306689_l.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mondayinlondon.com"&gt;www.mondayinlondon.com&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/mondayinlondon"&gt;www.myspace.com/mondayinlondon&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.purevolume.com/mondayinlondon"&gt;www.purevolume.com/mondayinlondon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay so I left with the band Pacifico and about to talk about Monday in London, Matt Schwartz both fronts these bands. These guys have been getting a lot of attention from around the country . Playing more and more gigs as the year progresses. They have just released some new music Tornado 65 and Adeline ( well from the old EP , but new to some) and are constantly recording new material . The bands sound is very "in" at the moment the indie rock sound produces glamouris guitar riffs and heart pounding choruses, which keep us rocking away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rest of the band members are Sterling Plemmons (guitar, vocals), Daniel Allen (guitar, piano), Wes Clifton (bass) and Robbie Adkins (drums) . Monday in London formed in 2001 with their music being a heavy alternative sound , they have now moved into the a sound which suits their vocals and music. After having a 9 months break . They are about to jump back on the train and bring us more and more of their catchy music&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen to Tornado 65 it is a great song.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take Care&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tour Dates available on their Myspace.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-115744506885752697?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/115744506885752697/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=115744506885752697' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115744506885752697'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115744506885752697'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2006/09/monday-in-london.html' title='Monday in London'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-115744380954487372</id><published>2006-09-05T16:01:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-09-05T16:10:09.546+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Back from the Deep South</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/screening%20037.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/200/screening%20037.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt; My sister and I driving down to Margaret River.

When I mean band, they like Paper route are compiled of different band members/collaborators . The main man is Matt Schwartz ( think Copeland a while back , it will come to you ) . Who takes the reins on vox and guitars for the band . Their sound is pop rock , but every one does have their own opinion .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have been incredibly busy over the past year. Constantly recording new songs , getting ready for the release of their latest E.P which is available on their official website . Samples can be heard on their myspace. Pacifico have also released a Anthology cd , which is also available on the site. It contains songs which they have been playing and recording since 1999 .  They are all bargain buys and they also have new merchandise .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my favourite songs that they have covered is I Won't Back Down. ( Tom Petty cover) I know what you are thinking. No one should touch his stuff . But honestly this is amazing. Matt's vocals are a stand out in the song and the slowed down tempo works perfectly creating a moody version of the song . I can't get enough of it .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matt also has another project , but that will be discussed on Sunday . So hopefully you can wait till then . :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go listen to Pacifico . You won't regret it .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take Care&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I won't be able to post for the next 3 days . So please wait till Sunday arvo and there will be a huge update . So come back and check it out plenty more bands to go listen too.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-115703275933254962?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/115703275933254962/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=115703275933254962' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115703275933254962'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115703275933254962'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2006/08/pacifico-rocks.html' title='Pacifico Rocks'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-115691206785707778</id><published>2006-08-30T12:10:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-30T17:18:50.416+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Wouldn't it be Romantic</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/662388024_l.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/320/662388024_l.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/690463027_l.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/320/690463027_l.1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarah Castro is one talented woman . I was lucky to stumble across her stuff on her brothers my space ( Nathanial Castro ) . She is such a kind person , she was nice enough to send a copy of her demos to me last year . And I was instantly hooked on her sound . Well as I am writing this I am cranking up her music . Still can’t stop listening to it , but I think my friends may be sick of the cd . But too bad .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her song writing ability is so mind-blowing. She knows how to tell a tale in every song . Her previous music had a catchy folk pop vibe , Which is so great to listen to . Her latest live tracks which are available on her myspace show her maturation vocal wise . There is something about these tracks which speak for themselves. Her song Romantic is one of my favourites . It has hit written all over it .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the moment , Castro is writing new tracks and should be in the studio very soon . So expect to hear new stuff shortly . I will update this blog when it come available . As always go listen to her music and see what I am talking about .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-115691206785707778?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/115691206785707778/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=115691206785707778' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115691206785707778'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115691206785707778'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2006/08/wouldnt-it-be-romantic.html' title='Wouldn&apos;t it be Romantic'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-115691088559519650</id><published>2006-08-30T11:52:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-30T12:08:05.606+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Big Japan</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/690463027_l.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/704187406_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/320/704187406_l.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/150160297_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/320/150160297_l.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bigjapanmusic.com/"&gt;http://www.bigjapanmusic.com/&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/bigjapan"&gt;www.myspace.com/bigjapan&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.nightshiftrecords.com"&gt;www.nightshiftrecords.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Big Japan oozes great music . They are a Indie band , who differ in style, with each song . The band is Nathanial Castro , Bret Harrison , Brad Babinski and Adam Brody . These guys know how to rock out. I have been following there stuff since last year and let's say they have grown into a mega music force . Nathanial Castro vocals are incredible with his sharp husky voice fronting the band you can only notice how different their sound is to many other bands doing the same thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their Debut EP Music For Dummies was released last year , producing 8 rocking indivual songs . My Favourites are Wrong Way, Life Saver and Bonnie and Clyde . They all produce this happy go lucky sound . Which would be awesome to view at a live concert . Hopefully next year I can catch a gig .&lt;br /&gt;Big Japan are signed to the label NightShift Records . Which is owned by lead singer Nathaniel Castro . This is where you can purchase their EP and other Merchandise . This is also available on their Myspace .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I can say is that this band is talented and have the quirky different edge which stands them out amongst the rest .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take Care&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-115691088559519650?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/115691088559519650/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=115691088559519650' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115691088559519650'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115691088559519650'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2006/08/big-japan.html' title='Big Japan'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-115683901050254423</id><published>2006-08-29T15:15:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-29T21:08:53.683+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Paper Route</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/64846319_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 235px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 229px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="279" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/320/64846319_l.jpg" width="286" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/64851987_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/320/64851987_l.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paperrouteonline.com"&gt;www.paperrouteonline.com&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/paperroute"&gt;www.myspace.com/paperroute&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This band is awesome . What can I say they hail from Nashville . The home of country music . ;) But they sound nothing like country . There music is Indie Electronic with a tinge of alternative vibe . As you can probably tell I really like this style of music .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway the band consist of numerous artists . With the main man being Chad Howat . Who had the brillant idea to collaborate with other muso's .(Other band members can be found on their myspace ) . Paper Route released a EP last year . Welcomed with a huge response the record sold out within a few months . I know this because I went to purchase a copy and yes SOLD OUT appeared . Their latest EP released nation wide today " 29th of August" can be purchased in stores some include &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com"&gt;www.amazon.com&lt;/a&gt; , Borders and Virgin . For the full list visit their myspace again and go to their blog entry for more information .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason why I am so excited about this band is because I know they will be around producing great music for a long time . The progrssion of each song is amazing . As you sit transfixed into his Ben Gibbard style voice . I guess I shouldn' t compare him . But the vocals are amazing on all songs . My favourite is Only Words . Which incorparates both female and Male vox . Another favourite is Keep Holding On . Which is a beautiful ballad style song . Which sounds a little like Martha Wainright . I get the chills everytime I listen .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Words can not really describe the sounds produced by this band . So please head over to their pages and listen and buy their new record . It will be worth every dollar . I promise .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.5 out of 5&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take Care&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-115683901050254423?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/115683901050254423/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=115683901050254423' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115683901050254423'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115683901050254423'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2006/08/paper-route.html' title='Paper Route'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-115668208166653295</id><published>2006-08-27T18:38:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-30T18:41:40.336+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Brightwood Rock</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/drew_britt/Loveantidotecoverweb.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/844979027_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/320/844979027_l.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/brightwood"&gt;www.myspace.com/brightwood&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.purevolume.com/brightwood"&gt;www.purevolume.com/brightwood&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello again ,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This band named Brightwood , is unbelievable . I Love their music . I would describe it as Alternative , Melodic Indie rock . They produce/record their own music , which is great to listen to when you are feeling very relaxed or driving with the volume turned right up . The band consits of band member Andrew and Stephen Brittel , Mathew Fosket and Colin Schnieder . They are located in Portland Oregan . Where at the moment I think all good music is coming out of . cough Elani cough . Who in fact are great mates with Brightwood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There E.P The Love Antidote is amazing . I recieved my copy 2 weeks ago and am incredibly glad I got it . It is also available on itunes . But the actual cd is an investment as the artwork is brillant . My favourite song is In Memory , it is so beautiful and the lyrics are amazing . I stumbled across their film clip for the song In Memory on you tube . Which I have posted below . Another song on the EP is Sit still . It also posses this emotional quality and is so beautiful to listen too. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Link to the film clip cause you tube doesn't work :( &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XxofkgZytA"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XxofkgZytA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am certain that these boys will be signing soon to an awesome Indie Label . They also what I have gathered will be releaseing some new songs in the next month . Which I am incredibly eager to hear . These boys are TALENTED and you have to hear them Now . So head over to their site and Listen &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4 out of 5 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take care&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tour Dates&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.showDetails&amp;Band_Show_ID=7509369&amp;amp;friendid=2153534"&gt;The Revolution&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ashland&lt;br /&gt;Sep 1 2006&lt;br /&gt;11:00A&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.showDetails&amp;Band_Show_ID=6768460&amp;amp;friendid=2153534"&gt;Joshua Fest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quincy, CA&lt;br /&gt;Sep 15 2006&lt;br /&gt;6:00P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.showDetails&amp;Band_Show_ID=7357801&amp;amp;friendid=2153534"&gt;Linn County Fair &amp; Expo Center&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Albany, OR&lt;br /&gt;Sep 20 2006&lt;br /&gt;11:30A&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.showDetails&amp;amp;Band_Show_ID=5963594&amp;amp;friendid=2153534"&gt;Spokane Community College&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spokane, WA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-115668208166653295?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/115668208166653295/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=115668208166653295' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115668208166653295'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115668208166653295'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2006/08/brightwood-rock_27.html' title='Brightwood Rock'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-115651726776126679</id><published>2006-08-25T22:25:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-25T22:47:47.820+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Honest as a photo Booth</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/503995933_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/320/503995933_l.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;                                         &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/294394372_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/320/294394372_l.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;                                           &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/ronnieday"&gt;www.myspace.com/ronnieday&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;         w&lt;a href="http://www.ronniedaymusic.com"&gt;ww.ronniedaymusic.com&lt;/a&gt;               www&lt;a href="http://www.purevolume.com/ronnieday"&gt;.purevolume.com/ronnieday&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These words have lingered in my mind . Ever since listening to the muscian Ronnie Day . This talented 17 year old , recorded his first album Nine Sleepless Nights in his home recording studio . While playing and mixing all of the himself . I admit when his record first arrived in the mail . I did not let it leave my car stero for a week . This is the honest truth . His music and lyrics can be compared to Dashboards leading man Chris Carrabba . With emotional raw talent you feel his love and heartbreak in every song . One of my favourites on the album is Ever and After . A romantic piano driven song . Which allows his vocals to shine through . Half Moon Bay is also a favourite. He has talked this beach up so much in his music, that when I go to the US , it is on my must do list .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His album is only the beginning of his potential . With " The Album" coming out this US summer . I can only sit here and wait for the release . Well okay I lied if you go to Ronnie's Myspace you can sample some of the new songs . With Outside and Hero's Die feat on the predecessor . They only sound better , with the new production behind them .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All and All Mr day has a huge career set in front of him . Signing with a Major label a few months ago ( I think he signed to Epic - hasn't let it out ) things will only get better for this young 17 year old . I picture him having a Bob Dylan like musical career . So head over to his myspace or purevolume or offical site to get in to his music before the rest of the world does&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rating&lt;br /&gt;4.5 out of 5&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take Care&lt;br /&gt;Lavina&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-115651726776126679?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/115651726776126679/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=115651726776126679' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115651726776126679'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115651726776126679'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2006/08/honest-as-photo-booth.html' title='Honest as a photo Booth'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-115633731710302865</id><published>2006-08-23T20:21:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-23T20:48:37.343+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Great Alternative Music</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/elanigreen.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/320/elanigreen.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/734957746_l.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/320/734957746_l.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;                                          &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/elani"&gt;www.myspace.com/elani&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What can I say . I have been a fan of this band for a while . Well when they used to be called Alfonso. They are composed of Chris , Wookie and Jonathan. And have recently finished recording there EP. Which should be released in October. Their sound is alternative , popish rock . Which is so appealing to the melody loving public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They have changed their sound over the years. Listening to their demos ( Yellow Boots and It's all I can do ) from earlier times . I can hear how much they have grown into the band and music they are producing today .  Chris's vocals, sound amazing on the new Demo "Perfect Now" which can be heard on their Myspace. Their previous demos Lonely Charade and Tired of the Rain can be found on &lt;a href="http://www.purevolume.com/elani"&gt;www.purevolume.com/elani&lt;/a&gt; . These are prime examples of what we can expect from this band which are destined for success. Not only are the band great musicians but awesome people, who have the time of day for everyone . &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please check out their music , you will not be dissapointed. And spread the word for a release date somewhere in the month of October . &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rating of the Music&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4.5 out of 5 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Til next time &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take care &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-115633731710302865?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/115633731710302865/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=115633731710302865' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115633731710302865'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115633731710302865'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2006/08/great-alternative-music.html' title='Great Alternative Music'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-115632510847515111</id><published>2006-08-23T17:07:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-23T17:25:08.486+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Oh I'm Back again</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a172/homerun7dh/rbgdotsty9.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/1600/935720435_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1145/923/320/935720435_l.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/playradioplay"&gt;www.myspace.com/playradioplay&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/&lt;a%20href=" fuseaction="'user.viewprofile&amp;friendID="&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay when I said weekely I mean in 30 minute periods . :) Anyway I just wanted everyone to know about this awesome Musician from Fort Worth , Texas . He goes by the name of PlayRadioPlay . The style is electronic , pop , indie  . I would liken him to the sounds of HelloGoodbye and we all know how good they are . :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well PlayRadioPlay have been getting a lot of hits . He has featured on Myspace top unsigned artists. ( Where I stumbled across him ) and is now embarking on a tour with other leading bands . Recently a video has been made for the song " Compliment each other like colours " Which is a melodic electronic pop song , which will get everyone out of their seats dancing .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My personal favourite is " Madi Don't Leave" . You feel the real emotion which takes place in the song . If this guy was signed with a major label , he would be pulling in fans from all over the US and the world . He is someone who needs to be heard , so take a listen to his stuff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Rating &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;4 stars out of 5&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go to &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/playradioplay"&gt;www.myspace.com/playradioplay&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.purevolume.com/playradioplay"&gt;www.purevolume.com/playradioplay&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11395960-115632510847515111?l=welcometoveg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/feeds/115632510847515111/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395960&amp;postID=115632510847515111' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115632510847515111'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395960/posts/default/115632510847515111'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcometoveg.blogspot.com/2006/08/oh-im-back-again.html' title='Oh I&apos;m Back again'/><author><name>Veg aka Lavina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642546589250332865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/lavina99/segandme.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395960.post-115632196363776704</id><published>2006-08-23T16:32:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-23T17:02:21.650+08:00</updated><title type='text'>A New Beginning</title><content type='html'>Well I think it is time to get busy with my blog .
