Perth MusicFinal Acts Announced For 2007 Big Day Out Series
Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! The BIG DAY OUT is almost upon us and we are very excited to announce the third round of touring and local additions to the 2007 summer series!
THE VINES have come a long way since the early days of belting out Nirvana covers at suburban house parties. Garnering world-wide attention for their debut Highly Evolved, THE VINES have returned to prove they’ve got something more to offer than flannel-clad angst. Their highly anticipated third album, Vision Valley released in 2006 showcases a spectacular return to form. Don’t miss THE VINES’ highly evolved, eclectic hybrid of grungy, garage rock swagger, ’60s psych, and ’70s pop at a BIG DAY OUT near you this summer. (ALL SHOWS)
SNOWMAN is yet another incredible band to emerge from the thriving Perth music scene. Cinematic post-punk with a riff or two of surf and blues, SNOWMAN is the soundtrack to your imagination turned up to eleven. Their debut, Zombies on the Airwaves of Paris and their 2006 self titled album will leave you scrambling for adjectives. Call them strange, beautiful, jagged, swampy, hypnotic, ambient, loud, quiet, manic or whatever you will, but do not miss your chance to see what all the fuss is about at the BIG DAYS OUT.

For a change of pace, listen up for the wisdom of the Jah Messenger, the reggae master, LUCIANO (Jamaica) at the BIG DAY OUT. Renowned worldwide for his rasta message of love and peace set to irresistible melodies and mellow, soulful vocals, LUCIANO will tantalize fans with his wit, charisma and good-lovin reggae vibes.

Previous winners of the Triple J Unearthed competition, the SICK PUPPIES have been living it large with the world-wide YouTube success of their “Free Hugs” music video campaign – even finding the time to jump on Oprah’s couch and then stop off in LA to record their new album. This fully sick guitar-fuelled three piece return to Oz for with a brand new album afoot and will rock BDO audiences into a frenzy around the country. (ALL AUST SHOWS)
DIGITAL PRIMATE is an underground legend. Since his first album release in ’95, DIGITAL PRIMATE has pushed the boundaries for Australian techno with his solid and dirty mix of ghetto techno, proper electro and Chicago style booty. With the release of his new album Siege Mentality, expect to see DIGITAL PRIMATE at the global forefront of electronica. Don’t forget, we saw him first… and this won’t be the last you’ll see of Digital Primate. (ALL AUST SHOWS)
Since stepping up to the decks in 1996, MARK MURPHY has become one of Sydney’s most loved and respected DJs. Champion of the electro explosion and the rave sounds emerging from Europe, his talents have been in demand at every major club and party in Sydney from Mardi Gras to Field Day. Make sure you get your dancing shoes on and boogie along to MARK MURPHY to your heart’s content at the BIG DAY OUT. (ALL AUST SHOWS)
