LAMB are probably best known for their stirring love song ‘Gorecki’
which you’ve likely heard at a wedding or two, but this UK duo have been around
for years playing their beautiful music. Nicole Kidman sang parts of ‘Gorecki’
in Moulin Rouge, and yeah well…Nicole is a top actress isn’t she. Make sure
you take some time to chill out and relax at Livid to the trip hop sounds of
LAMB, only on the Annex stage.
LESS THAN JAKE is the definition of punk – one of the first songs they
ever wrote was written for the sole purpose of pissing off their old neighbour.
Since that time they’ve certainly graduated to bigger and better things, touring
the world and pissing off the parents of teenagers everywhere! Don’t miss your
chance to catch these all-ages faves at Livid 2003.
Headlining The Zoo stage will be Sydney outfit THE BIRD, who are fast
developing a reputation as Sydney’s best live electronic dance group. Combining
live drum ‘n’ bass breakbeats, electro synth lines and an organic interpretation
of computer-generated forms of music, mixed with a bit of spontaneity and an
unbridled passion for performing, THE BIRD have certainly worked hard to earn
their reputation. No doubt they’ll also have an assortment of special guests
on hand.
PACIFIER, Australia’s favourite adopted band is back for Livid! These
hardworking rockers are back from a tour of Australia and New Zealand, and their
brand of good ol’ rock is the perfect soundtrack to a Livid afternoon.
Brooklyn band LIARS face a tough task at Livid – living up to the “hardest
rockin’ punk dance band EVER” tag placed on them by New York’s Time Out Magazine.
Featuring Australian-born frontman Angus Andrew, LIARS may be one of the many
bands emerging from the dirty New York underground rock scene, but rest assured
that these guys have a sound that’s all their own. We’ll leave the final word
to NME – “The best krunk-art noise apes in knitwear you’ll witness all century.”
PRE SHRUNK are famous for the kind of funk and grooves that only two
bass players together can deliver, and they make a welcome addition to The Zoo
stage with their genre-challenging sound. Sure to feature tracks off their latest
album, Bestseller, plus some old favourites.
The Livid Annex has a reputation for not being afraid of a good party, and
this year some of the best acts in the world will be on hand to keep the crowd
moving. DEXTER is one such example. Also known for his work for The Avalanches,
this DJ has been labeled by Grandmaster Flash as the most creative and innovative
DJ in the world. Soon you’ll be able to judge for yourself. Any aspiring knob
twiddler (of the musical kind) shouldn’t miss this lesson in perfection.
Challenging Turbonegro for the strangest act on this year’s bill, HAR MAR
SUPERSTAR is set to draw a diverse crowd to his RnB (with a bit of breakdancing
thrown in) infused performance on Triple J’s Bigtop stage. Not averse to wearing
the odd pink shirt or cowboy-style fringed jacket, this Mixmag cover star and
Ibiza DJ recently hit the big time thanks to a pash with Kate Moss. Ms Moss
was only too happy to don a hairy monster’s suit and snog the Superstar for
his Brothers and Sisters film clip. Warning – Har Mar is a hairy, out of shape
middle-aged man, and he has been known to get down to his undies in concert.
Don’t say we didn’t tell you!
The HELLACOPTERS have perfected American Rock n Roll without any pretention.
This is surprising since the band is actually Swedish. Their success can be
attributed to three little mantras to live by – play music that you would like
to hear, keep the music makin’ muscle moving, and keep popping out albums like
they’re going out of fashion.
Sydney band THE HERD are no strangers to controversy – their track “77%”
is one of the most obviously political and controversial songs out this year,
summing up the frustration that many people felt with the “White Australia”
government. Don’t let the hype upstage the band though – THE HERD are known
to be one of the best live Hip Hop acts around, and with good reason!
One of the most talked-about acts in the country at the moment is LITTLE
BIRDY, featuring the gorgeous vocals of Katie Steele. Recently signed to
Eleven (home to Silverchair and paulmac), this band seems destined for great
things, and their sound is guaranteed to mellow the hearts of the toughest music
critic.
There’s simply to much musical goodness going on here to blart on about each
and every act on the LIVID 2003 bill. It’s all top quality and it’s all coming
your way in October!
