BLISS AND ESO LIVE AT RIVERSTAGE
Ok has taken me nearly a week to get this all sorted and I still havent even started with the videos haha will try to get them done next week sometime but I have the Bombs Away gig at Rumaz in Hervey Bay tomorow night so thats even more footage and photos that need editing so its all piling up :(
It was friday June 10, the day of my birthday :) I had sorted out a couple media passes from the lovley people at Illusive (can check their site out here www.illusive.com.au) and I was so excited!! Dan was driving down from Hervey Bay for the night and i knocked off work early and headed home. I had a few drinks and waited around for him to rock up. We drove into the city and tried to find parking and lucky there was some right near the botanical gardens, only cost around $35.
Walked over to Riverstage and found the BoxOffice and the chick gave us out Media passes and we hung around there till Bliss n Eso started. This was the first event where I had been able to get actual media passes and we were allowed right down in the pit (aread between the crowd and the stage). I had borrowed my gf's SLR camera for the night and also taken along my new HD video camera, dan had borrowed his brothers SLR aswell. Now the photos arent that great, sorry, but once we got there we realised we didnt actualy know how to use the cameras to well haha :P got it all sorted out for next time though :)
The show was awesome!! Since it wasent an 18+ event there were tons of younger kids haha and lots of little girls were asking Dan to take their photos, nothing new though haha. It was a sell out show and as you can see from a few of the pictures the area was friggen packed!! I had seen Bliss n Eso at Big Day Out just gone but I would nearly have to say that this show was better, just the energy of it and DJ Izm's 10+min scratch/sample session was epic!!!
Plus hit up the casion after and Doubled my Money, Ka Ching!

INTERVIEW TIME : BOMBS AWAY
Interview with Bombs Away, interviewed by Jed Gillham
Playing at Rumaz Night Club on the 17th June
Alright, so you've obviously known eachother for a long time but how did you first meet and when did you both decide that you wanted to form Bombs Away?
haha well we met when our mum brought Tom home and was like, hey, here's your new brother, then Sketch beat him up for about 15 years, We bought Dance eJay when we were like 10 (actually we were meant to buy Dance eJay2 but sketch got the wrong one and we had a fight) as we grew up Thomas went down the hiphp/beatboxing route and Sketch played shitty trance, then they met up again over Breaks and moved to electro from there.
Youve made a few bootlegs and remixes so far, how do you go about choosing which songs your going to do this to?
66 so far actually haha, we just find something we like and play with it, usually its for our sets, then we end up releasing it or someone steals it and puts it online haha
So your biggest songs at the moment would have to be Big Booty Bitches and Swagger, did you ever think when you were making these that they would become so well known?
lol we did BBB in an afternoon and it started going crazy at shows! we ended up re making it and releasing it and it went crazy! Swagger is a bit of a head nod to the stuff we listened to growing up, it was fun to do and we're stoked its gone amazingly, it was never aimed at radio so thats been a huge surprise.
The vocals for Big Booty Bitches are so deep and I'm sure just touch the hearts of anyone who hears them :p how did you come up with such catchy vocals?
haha they were actually written by friends of ours in the states, but they affected us so deeply we had to turn them into that song lol
What's some of the craziest stuff you've done at a show?
we're actually usually the sensible ones, untill we hit the goon, lol then we cant really remember what happened, so i cant answer this question haha
Your playing at Electric playground on the 14th of may, what can we expect from your show?
we actually are working out weather we'll die if we jump off that massive stage! i'm pretty sure we will.
What sort of music is Bombs Away listening to at the moment?
we're listening to so much diverse stuff atm, bass klephs remix of Whine ya waistline is SO FUCKING funky thats getting a workout, and on the other end is spectrum Barretso-Chase rocks it hard,so does Disco Fries - Killer and Oh Snap's new one - Who let the Douchebags in, its pretty funny and rocks hard.
Your song supersoaker is set to blow up once it hits a few more ears, what are your plans for it?
we're releasing that one internationally with a massive push by Universal worldwide, hopefully it'll be one of those songs that you end up sick of cause everyones smashing it haha, the remix pack has some of our idols on board so we're really excited!
What else can we expect from Bombs Away in the rest of 2011?
we're on a huge tour at the moment to launch the WILD NIGHTS 2011 cd which we've just finished mixing, its pretty much hitting every city and most towns so we're basically just traveling and writing new music on the road.
Any final words for the fans and future fans out there?
get drunk & let me see your swagger!
nah, lol, if you're bored come hang out on our FB, we're usually online
