V Energy Green Room |
Back by popular demand, the V Energy Green Room is returning to the festival circuit in 2012.
Adding to the experience, this year's V Energy Green Room is decked out with a brand new V Energy Power Wall; an innovative technology that lets punters capture all their fun via a touch screen and inbuilt HD camera. By adding your mobile number to the V Energy Power Wall, you will receive a Facebook link to the photos of you and your mates.
Additionally, V Energy is bringing brand spanking new technology to Australia with the V Energy Club in a Can! Powered by the energy of people dancing inside, the audio and lighting levels are generated by the intensity of punters' movements. With room for four people per can the inbuilt meter detecting the energy output offers a live feed between the two cans - and there will be plenty of festival prizes up for grabs. |

Harmony vs SPOD vs Deep Heat |
Date: | 'Thursday 23rd February' |
Celebrate the glorious diversity of Australian live music in all its unbalanced, hormonal splendour this SLAM Day at Yah Yah's as Harmony vs SPOD vs Deep Heat.
Like two ideologies in decline caterwauling towards fundamentally opposed extremes, Spod and Harmony will engineer mass bipolarity in captive heads. Dizzying delusions of ecstasy and lobster mutations followed by a misery dump of unprecedented proportions. Bridging the divide will be the ragged glory of Deep Heat who will open the night by peeling faces right off exposing the lobe for the manic double stroke that follows. |
