Speaking of emails (well if blogs could be posted in reverse order you would have read the post after this one first and would thus fully understand the segue) I got this from Chris yesterday. It was in response to my "So how did ya go" in the semi finals of the band comp. You may remember the quarter finals.

Would you believe we were pipped by a Rage Against the Machine rip-off band, with a THIRTEEN YEAR OLD GUITARIST!!!!!!! WTF?!?!??
.
They were called: Superunknown....I mean jeez..if you are going to use a band's album title....I hardly think Soundgarden is one anyone would choose!They brought their rent-a-crowd, and despite their songs HARDLY being "original" (they were singing 'Killing In the Name Of' IN TIME!!) they grabbed one of the 7 places in the Grand Final.
.
*sigh* once again, AOF are slapped in the face by the WA Music world ...interesting comments on our "reviews" (not just a random pick by the drunk scubber!), and the 13yr old guitarist did think we should have won!!
.
Done in by a cover band staffed by 13yr olds, man what has happened to the original music scene in Perth. Dead I suspect.
