Flip Out

This has been one of the best line-ups I’ve seen in a while. I usually don’t grace festival type events (seeing too many 15 year olds smacking out at Earth Dance a few years back turned me off), but Flip Out Festival definitely calls for me to come out of retirement.

“FLIP OUT is all about crazy good time fun with loads of killer bands from around the planet perfoming over two stages, a record fair, merch market, BBQ (with vegan options) and the first 200 people to arrive will receive a FREE copy of the super limited FLIP OUT 2009 CD containing rare and unreleased tracks from every band playing!”

With a massive lineup of local and international goodness alike, you can expect an audio feast from bands such as Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Pink Reason, Ooga Boogas, The UV Race, The Stabs, Super Wild Horses, and Royal Headache (pictured). And that’s just naming a few! (In my opinion Royal Headache are one of the best around at the moment. See them.)

Make sure to book your tickets in advance HERE. Or you can pick some up in person from Repressed Records, Red Eye, or Mojo Music. You can also grab them through www.oztix.com.au (Ph 1300 762 545), www.manningbar.com (Ph 9563 6000), or even at the ACCESS Centre at the venue.
Honestly, it couldn’t get any more convenient.

Did I also mention that there is a record fair on the day, with stalls from Mojo Music, Paint It Black, Repressed, Tenzenmen… the list just keeps going.

And just when you thought there couldn’t be any more, turns out there’s a Sydney and Melbourne show this year, with the lineup varying for both (Sydney details listed above).
