Review: The Vines .. “He’s a Rocker”

(updated: MySpace video below)

If you’re a fan of live music AND you have a MySpace profile, you’d be silly not to befriend both MySpace Secret Shows and Music Zoo.

Having done this myself only last week, I noticed a competition on the Music Zoo profile for the next MySpace Secret Show. The Secret Shows are just that - you have no idea where they’ll be, when they’ll be or even - who will be playing.

Sounds exciting doesn’t it, so of course, I entered …

AND WON!! Woohoo!

Flights to Melbourne, put up in a swanky hotel and going to see The Vines.

Hundreds of fans and supporters lined up outside the venue had to be turned away, as The Tote (a funky little pub with so much history) holds only about 200-250 punters.  (We didn’t catch sight of the resident “ghost” thankfully)

The Vines burst back onto the live scene, playing a mix of new tunes off the upcoming fourth album (’Melodia’ out July 12) and some old favourites. They put on one hell of a set that had the packed in crowd screaming for more.

Thanks to Optus and MySpace for a fantastic night of music and my re-appreciation of The Vines.

Comments:

It’s difficult to articulate but The Vines have that little piece of something special that makes them stand out from the rest. An outstanding Secret Show from an outstanding band and all present will agree it’s sometimes refreshing to just hear a brilliant, loud, rock ‘n’ roll band do what they do best. MySpace Secret Show’s review

The next stage of The Vines career begins here and it’s a safe bet to say that anything goes. In fact, based on the last six years, it’s possibly best not to assume anything other than it’s going to be a hell of a ride… The Vines site

“Still trying to find & win Splendour bender tickets?”

Just like I promised the other day, I am still with ear firmly to the ground searching for Splendour in the Grass ticket competitions.

Check out the newest one - from Harper’s Bazaar at our Online Competitions page.

Not all competitions are created equally, this one requires thought and creativity (not just ladies luck!)

Good luck
