    sietta of course! :p

  3. In my personal opinion, after seeing my 5th bass in the grass this year i would like to see more dance and electronic stuff… i do love live bands however unfortunately there is a push for more dance and drum&bass music, something to really get the crowds dancing…

    I remember when i saw Seany B play with the DJ that was playing with him, it was great there was dance/electro/hip-hop all injected into his set and it went off…

    there are great electronic bands out there… I myself are one of them and love live music however have a great understanding for where the music is heading these days…

    If anyone has any questions or they want to hit me up with information/anything my Electro Band hotmail is: the.tc.project@hotmail.com

    Cheers

    With Oceans Below! Great new band about to start touring early 2011. Vocalist, Jarrod, spent some time at Parap Primary 10 years ago. 50,000 hits on youtube, fan clubs starting in Brazil, Russia, Germany and USA. Getting airplay in some USA radio stations already, and dance clubs in Sydney. Gotta let Darwin hardcore fans get a chance to see these guys at Bassinthegrass.
