Im just giving all those who will be in Brisbane & Sydney during Feb the heads up about the "Good Vibrations" festival. Tix are about $75 if ur in Brisbane, and $92.40 in Sydney. Most festivals in the past have had maybe 1 or 2 worthwhile artists and the rest filler, but this one is killer:


Scissor Sisters | Mylo |Arrested Development | Handsome Boy Modeling School | DJ Format & Abdominal MC | Bent | Amp Fiddler | Lyrics Born | Layo & Bushwacka! | Jacques Lu Cont | Ben Watt (Everything But The Girl) | Bugz in the Attic | Jazzanova | Rob Da Bank | Lazy Boy Sound System | DJ Patife & Cleveland Watkiss | Max Sedgley | Blood and Fire Sound System | Rankin Joe
+ more acts to be announced!


Bringing a touch of soul to the proceedings will be Detroit's Amp Fiddler who has been performing for over 20 years with the likes of Prince , George Clinton, Primal Scream and Jamiroquai before stepping out on his own over the last few years and releasing the acclaimed solo album 'Waltz of the Ghetto Fly' in 2004.


Arrested Development were one of the 90's big hip hop success stories, selling literally millions of records with hits such as 'Tennessee', 'People Everyday', and 'Mr Wendal' as well as scoring a couple of Grammys for their efforts. Recently named by VH1 as one of the 50 best hip hop groups of all time they have been cited as a major influence on the likes of The Fugees, Jill Scott, Eryka Badu and The Roots. Arrested Development prefer to call their awe-inspiring live shows 'celebrations' which could not be better suited to Good Vibrations.

Handsome Boy Modeling School first thrilled hip hop fans with the concept album 'So…How's Your Girl' in 1999. It has taken Chest Rockwell and Nathaniel Merriweather (aka super-producers Prince Paul (De La Soul) and Dan The Automator), five years to come up with the follow-up 'White People' but it's been worth the wait and now they're heading our way to help make Australia a more handsome place.

Jacques Lu Cont, the man behind Les Rhythmes Digitales, first signed to the Wall of Sound label at just 17. Two albums, countless gigs, a spot of producing for a little-known singer called Madonna, and a plethora of DJ sets later, Jacques has established a strong reputation for producing quality pop music, a taste of which you can get on his Fabriclive mix CD and on his huge hit remix of Starsailor's 'Four To The Floor'.
