QUACK GOES THE BUNNY
A duck who paints rabbits? It sounds as silly as the artist is. Welcome to the life of Duckpond. If you don’t know who Duckpond is, then you don’t really know what the Big Day Out is all about. Duckpond is one of four stooges who is responsible for cocktails and craziness at Big Day Out central. Along with Larry Kronic Jr, Christo and Heavy G, these four goons man the festivities at...

BIRD SHIT?
Could the ‘nice guys’ of Birds of Tokyo actually be backstabbing little bitches? Yesterday the band released a statement notifying fans of the departure of bassist Anthony. It was a lovey dovey, friendly piece of blah that explained nothing. It said they were parting with one of “their own” and that their “mate” would no longer be playing with them. No reason...

THE ANSWER IS HERE! PLUS TOOL FIND A PERFECT...
If you follow the FYBDO twitter than the heading refers to the last question posed there. If you don’t follow, then you’re probably really confused and you should follow! So thanks to this year’s BDO I’ve heard A Perfect Circle have found a band to open for them on their next tour. The ladies of Japanese band Red Bacteria Vacuum played Lilyworld this year and apparently...

HAVE MERCY ON US
Well that’s it - the end of the BDO 2011 tour. Ah Perth - what a day huh. The bush fires weren’t the only things going crazy. All you folks at the Boiler Room were out of control. And not all of you in a good way. I’m not sure if it’s the Perth pingas or the ridiculously expensively rack you guys have, but you were all mental at the Boiler Room. Firstly half way through...

FYBDO SAYS RIP WHITE STRIPES
It seems appropriate I pay tribute to the end of the White Stripes. Not only did the band play the BDO twice, but Jack White’s bandmates from The Raconteurs - The Greenhornes are also on the bill this year and have played previously as well.
Some of you may have heard about the rock n roll flights that happen around the country while the BDO tour is on. You can see some of your favourite...

AND THE SHOW GOES ON...
Adelaide you were unreal! For those of you going to the Perth BDO tomorrow here are some must sees: RAMMSTEIN - What a fucking show. Words can’t quite describe it. Actually maybe fireworks and dicks can. After a few too many drinks I was feeling quite ill, but couldn’t manage to rip myself away to spew in fear of missing out on another unbelievable moment from these loveable Germans....

FIVE DOWN, TWO TO GO
How shit have I been on the blogging huh?! Too much music and partying which is then followed by too much sleeping. Deftones, Bloody Beetroots, Primal Scream, LCD Soundsystem and Die Antwoord have all been massive musical highlights. MIA has been disappointing - lazy - pretty half arsed show for an artist headlining the Boiler Room. Rammstein have kept many of us entertained in more ways than...

BIRDS, LUPE, SIA, GYROS & LCD HELP ME HELP YOU
With the first Australian BDO happening tomorrow on the Gold Coast I thought I would share with you my top 5 tips for surviving the day and making the most of it. 1. LISTEN TO BIRDS OF TOKYO & MAKE PLANS: TO ORGANISE YOUR OUTIFT IN ADVANCE. This is very important. If there’s one thing I love more than Big Day Out, it’s fashion. My mum says “Always try your best. But make...

LOVERS & HATERS
The 2011 Big Day Out tour officially started today in Auckland.
Everyone was talking about Die Antwoord who blew the roof off the Boiler Room. Who gives a shit if this band is a joke or a novelty act. They’re fucking entertaining and know how to put on a show. I don’t care if they last 10 minutes or 10 years - I’m loving it now.
Lilyworld kicked off the tour with a psychedelic...

NOW & THEN
In 12 hours the first Big Day Out kicks off in AUCKLAND. If you don’t follow me on twitter you should because if you did you would have heard about MIA’s quest to save 1 Tamil Tiger per BDO show from detention. Currently there are 6 Tamil Tigers in detention centres across Australia. In case you’re confused I’m talking about big cats who have been naughty. I’m talking...

IT'S TIME TO GET TO KNOW YOUR FYBDO EVEN MORE
I started writing my blog about Lilyworld - but realised I would be here for hours. Despite what you have heard or seen or may think - Lilyworld is actually an extremely special little place within BDO and it deserves my full mental capacity (ironic really). So instead I’ve taken the lazy option - gossip. But the word gossip has such bad connotations. Although the below may be considered...

Watchcuratings: Devendra Banhart x Oliver Peoples.
This video explains why the ladies were throwing themselves at Devendra on tour last year. However the lusting ladies were thwarted by his love of meditation (and that guy from Decoder Ring punishing him constantly).
Make sure you wait for the shot of him sliding down the stair rail. HOT!
XO FYBDO

FUCK YEAH THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS!
Welcome to the official FUCK YEAH BIG DAY OUT blog! This is the only blog for all you BDO lovers and haters (I don’t discriminate here) where it’s not just about the music. It’s about much more - it’s about all that irrelevant but oh so much fun shit too. The first BDO show of 2011 kicks off next Friday in Auckland so I figured I should get my arse into gear and get this...
