Now it is not as big or as well know as the Reading and Leads Festival, nor does it have the big headliner acts, but who know what the future will bring. So in an effort to build more Australian readers I am going to try my best to bring you the line ups and highlights from music festivals around our big and beautiful country as well as other festivals around the world. We are kicking off the new festival feature off in Queensland with the upcoming Maroochy Music & Vis Arts Festival. Each feature will have information on Where the festival is , When the festival takes place, the all important Line Up and links. Also you may notice that us Aussies are straight to the point and always what people to have a good time, so a few festivals have adopted the “No Dickheads” Policy at their festivals to ensure other festival goers enjoy themselves without the dickheads.

I am always open to suggestions guys, so if you think I should cover a festival or you know of an upcoming festival the please don’t hesitate to drop me a line and let me know.

The 2016 MTV Video Music Award Winners

Yesterday (Monday 29th Aug) I settled in to watch this years VMAs, I lasted 5 minutes before I had to turn it off, otherwise I would be out buying a TV today, preferably one without a remote stuck in it. Why I hear you asking, did I only last 5 minutes? This years hosts were like children who had been fed sugar for days leading up to the show, so much yelling and screaming, I’m not sure they understand the function of the mic, and don’t even get me started with Key and Peel at the start of the VMAs talking utter shit and again not sure they understood the mic’s function either and , unfortunately for me it over shadowed the awesome talent we were celebrating on the night. Moving on I have you covered with the complete list of this years VMAs winners and thoes who performed. Beyoncé cleaned up this year with the awards, so lets take a look.

Fresh Friday’s Featured Artist – Sugar Rush Rock (SRR)

Welcome to another edition of Fresh Friday, this weeks featured artists are an up and coming young band by the name of Sugar Rush Rocks!

I stumbled across these guys this week while I was scouring the internet for indie artists to feature and was blown away at their talent and thier ages! The world need to know who Sugar Rush Rocks because this is just the start and I foresee big things in there future.

So who are Sugar Rush Rocks……

Band members are: Vocals: Paige Nickole, Drums: RJ Hill, Bass: Jake Brightman, Lead Guitar: Michael Sebastian, Rytham Guitar: Joey Fattore, they hail from the South NJ/Philly area and range in age from 13 -16 years-old. SRR cover rock classics and do an awesome job, their vocalist Paige has an amazing voice and has got some real talent and can certainly hit those notes and don’t get me started on the boys, the way they play those instruments, you would think they have been playing for 20 odd years! They blow me away and listing to them makes me incredibly happy!

SRR cover the greats in rock and roll including, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, The Beatles, Cheap Trick, Pat Benatar and Radio Head to name a few, although they don’t have an album (yet!) they do play live gigs. I look forward to buy their album one day! Sugar Rush Rock are definitely a band to watch!!  SSR were kind enough to do a Q&A for Skatronixxx.com which you can check it out blow along with some videos of their gigs, you will find more vids on their YouTube channel

Sugar Rush Rocks Q&A

P. Describe SRR in five words.

SRR. Unique, Focused, Motivated,  Friends, Dedicated.

P. When did the band form and what was the inspiration for the band’s name?

SSR. Sugar Rush Rocks was formed in 2012. When we came up with the name we just thought we are kids rocking out like were on a “Sugar Rush.”

P. Who are your major musical influences?

SRR. Our influences are: Tom Keifer, Dave Grohl, Paul McCartney, John Bonham, Beatles.

P. What has been your most memorable band moment?

SRR. The first time we played together live we were so nervous and awkward around each other. We are so close now and became so close in such a short period of time. Looking back it seems strange that we ever felt nervous around each other.

P. What’s the song writing process like for SRR?

SRR. We usually figure out the rhythm, add layers followed by vocals.
