Man this time zone difference is a trip.

I was trying to figure it out last night and found a great site:

http://www.gondwananet.com/australian-time.html

It's crazy but according to that website they started this show (the 20th) at 3:15AM this morning My Time. Eastern.

And right now it's creeping up on 6:00AM in Brisbane but today there is the 21st.

Thanks nausearockpig for the setlist.
I hope you had a good time!

I couldn't find a schedule for the Festival on the Soundwave site but I did find one here:

Live Review – Soundwave Festival 2010
Thursday, February 20th, 2010
Brisbane, Australia

The 2010 Soundwave festival kicked off in Brisbane today and it was BRIS-TASTIC! The day starting as early as 11:00 for some bands it was set to be a long one.

We got started with a classic set from Canada’s own Anvil, it was a pleasure to see that age is no matter to them and the pure enjoyment of playing music is what matters most. Having a high energy set Anvil hammered out classics like “666” off the Metal on Metal album. Having never been in Brisbane, Australia frontman “Lips” made it clear to his fans that he was a fan too, and showed his appreciation by walking around after their set meeting people. Shortly after Anvil, Meshuggah came up and delivered a heavy and clean set. As with thier current new live DVD combo Alive they playing a full line of songs and closed with an all-familiar fan favourite “Future Breed Machine”. All five members of Meshuggah showed how they keep things in the most original forum possible when it comes to metal, giving people a satisfying set.

Following that was thrash legends Anthrax. With ex-Armored Saint vocalist John Bush back in the line-up, they brought their NYC style to the surface it was a better than expected show. Ripping up the stage people gave their praise by crowd surfing and rocking out as hard as they could to classic from their self-tilted debut to tracks from Among the Living and more, it was almost like being involved in World War III with the intensity of the crowd and band combined, Anthrax is a must see on the Soundwave 2010 tour. Switching between stages is never easy and trying to get starting and end times in order can prove to be difficult, biggest suggestion would be find the largest crowd and follow it, it will lead to something good. Heading to the main stages for the headliners AFI was finishing up and welcoming Jane’s Addiction.

Going to a Jane’s Addiction show is something everyone should do. It’s disgustingly beautiful how women scream for them and men know all the lyrics. Front man Perry Farrell manages to turn even the 40-year olds into crying 13-year olds. Alongside Dave Navarro, Eric Avery and Steven Perkins, they all combined and created an odd but spectacular experience. Of course fan favourites such as “Three Days” and an acoustic “Jane Says” got tossed into the set and you couldn’y grt more Rock & Roll than watching a frontman chugging a bottle of wine on stage and half naked dancers surrounding him. Jane’s addiction managed to cover it all. After 18 years from the last time they played in Brisbane they had everything a great performance needs. Replacing My Chemical Romance was Jimmy Eat World. All I can say is it shocking at how many people know the lyrics to Jimmy Eat World. Playing big hit songs like “Dizzy” and “ Big Casino” they turned the night onto a more romantic note and it was perfect timing for the men of the day Faith No More to take the stage.

Starting things off slow with a Peaches and Herb cover of “Reunited” (ironic and clever). Mike Patton, Jon Hudson, Mike Bordin, Roddy Buddom and Bill Gould got everyone’s attention quickly. Playing a popular selection of songs like “Surprise! Your dead”, “Epic”, “Just a Man” and “Ashes to Ashes” you can only imagine the rest of the set plus the double encore was more than enough to please even the most faithful of Faith No More fans. Mike Patton did steal the show; singing through megaphones, taking over the video cameras and flashing some naughty bits, between him, Jon Hudson’s guitar solos and the harmony of the band it was a “Full On” show as the Aussies would say.

This was just being the beginning, Australia better be ready for one spectacular round of shows to come from Soundwave 2010.

Soundwave Festival 2010 @RNA, Brisbane [20 February 2010]


Now, for one of the bands I'd been waiting YEARS to see: Jane's Addiction. As one of their old-timer fans (I'm 40 so yes, I was in my 20s when they first came on the scene) I was a fair way away from the stage, just enjoying the vibe more than wishing to be squashed. First thing that impressed me was that I paid more attention to the crew setting up Jane's backdrop than I did listening to AFI. The backdrop was absolutely beautiful: a vintage flocked wallpaper design that glowed purple, gold, and white. This design was flanked on both sides by large cut-outs of voluptuous, naked women. When Dave Navarro took to the stage, he was resplendent in rock star cliches: tight leather pants, shirtless, nipple piercings, sex on legs. But can that guy play guitar! He's quite brilliant, and although his rock persona sometimes gets in the way of people realising that, you'll notice if you catch Jane's live some day. His guitar playing throughout the set complimented Perry Farrell's vocals, changed the dynamic of the music completely, sexed it up and played it cosy. Perry was absolutely stunning, a thorough diva onstage in his new suit, scarf slung just so around his neck. He's a legend, this man, and I adore him. The band navigated its way through a set that included some very well known numbers such as Jane Says and Been Caught Stealing with less known (in Australia) hits. The band was joined onstage by two lovely women dressed up in saucy outfits which resembled an amalgamation of a geisha costume, some 17th century courtesan, and Dita von Teese. They cavorted with Perry, each other, and themselves, including some video cam action. Very erotic. Naughty. Provocative. Just like Jane's Addiction themselves. I was betting around 90% of the male punters left that gig more than a little aroused...
