jack awards

anyone see this, i'm OS so i didn't, but i saw the results... no real surprises, but you can't really read too much into the winners...

wolfmother were best live band, chris cheney best guitarist... etc. etc.

one thing that i couldn't believe as a melbournian though was The Palace being selected as the best live venue in melbourne, when it is clearly the worst... anyone else like seeing a gig at this place???

gigs this size should be held at the forum, it is so much better, if you want smaller, the hifi bar, you want bigger festival hall... the palace is terrible...

thoughts anyone?

no way i love the palace, seeing the shins there in august, can't wait. also saw the pixies there earlier this year was great.


SAVE THE PALACE!!!!!

i'm surprised the corner hotel didn't get a nod for best live venue as it frequently tops lists such as these for melbourne music, despite being able to hold much less than a theatre venue.

Does anyone know who was assembled in the supergroup for one of the tribute performances at that award presentation? A vague source said members of the Tats and the Divinyls. I'm assuming Angry and Mark McEntee?

i'm seeing the shins there too, and looking forward to it... but when i saw the arctic monkeys there last year for my first visit to the venue, i was very underwhelmed... have you been to the forum? it's an amazing venue...
