About Me


Hi, my name is Steve. Myself and a few friends created this page because we feel that people need a space where they can say what they think about local and international music.
We are NOT musicians or critics, merely music lovers and supporters of our local industry. Everything said and displayed here is meant in a light-hearted and humorous way and is not intended to offend.
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW:
1. The "blog" section is for band reviews, interviews and music news. Send some for us to post!
2. Send us a comment to let us know which bands KICKASS and we will add them to our Wall of FAME(Top Friends). If a SUCKASS band lands up on the Wall of Fame, nominate a KICKASS band to go on in thier place!
3. Check out our Gig Guide below to see whats coming up. Bands and venues feel free to send us gig dates to post. Msg us or send them directly to Kez www.myspace.com/kezfaller
4. Every month I will post a KICKASS band, a SUCKASS band, some advice and a question to get you thinking. It's all in fun so chill!
5. Once a month I will update the DIRTY BAND BOY and HOT BAND CHICK, vote for who you want to see!
6. In the Heroes section you will see our mascot Suckass the white rabbit. He is inspired by the band that was so bad they inspired me to create this page. Give him a carrot when you get a chance!
7. Check out our page headline every month for an interesting music related quote by someone who knows what they are talking about.
8. We want to know what you want from us, so msg or comment anytime and let us know.
10. Opinions on the site do not necessarily reflect our views.
11. For those of you who are big enough losers to be on facebook here is the link to our group, http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2845320070
12. The truth is out, what was the big secret behind YBSA, who is Steve really? Check out this blog to find out all the details... http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&f riendID=153460845&blogID=297021670&indicate=1
