Hottest 100 and more madness

Howdy cyberland, just a quick update on a few things.

Firstly, congratulations to bluejuice for picking up Legs 11 in the Triple J Hottest 100. The guys are obviously still riding high on the news, and express their thanks to all those who voted for 'Vitriol'. While we're on the topic, Skipping Girl Vinegar just missed out on a spot, but considering the competition (Radiohead finished at #94, what's with that!) the guys aren't disapointed.

Secondly, those lucky enough to score tickets to the Sydney BDO were treated to a top live set from bluejuice. Despite technical problems, bass strings breaking, and stage invasions, all reports point to a great gig. For those looking for proof there are some telling photos floating around the internet, get Googleing and check 'em out.

What's coming up? well the good news for bluejuice keeps rolling in - Vitriol is currently iTunes 'Single Of The Week', which means once again you can get your hands on the track for free. That's right, FREE, nada, nothing, so what are you waiting for. Also, the new clip for 'The Reductionist' debuted on Rage last week, and is currenly being featured as their 'indie clip of the week'. Stop by their MySpace to check out the clip, and while you're they're check out their gig guide, they've got some great support slots coming up.

Plenty more is going on around the country, Kate's off to Perth soon, Skipping Girl Vinegar are jamming the festival circuit, and Matt Ellis is packing his bags in anticipation of his quickly approaching hometown gig at the Hopetoun. So what are you waiting for? Get along to some gigs and support some Australian music.

Till next time.
Nate
