here is lyds

I'm a band merch biatch and coordinator independently and also for the wonderful and wacky kids at Out With The New for gigs, tours and festivals for all the goood bands :) I love music, I see some amazing artists and meet heaps of awesome people. I merch for Big Day Out and various other festivals... I used to work at the inestimable rics bar for yonks which is why you're probably going 'er, where do i know that face from' ...cos you've only ever seen me from below when you're plastered and trying to order a drink from the floor in front of the bar with a voice like you’re trying to talk through four mouths at once, all of them stuffed with torn up pages of street mag. also you've probably bought a tshirt, cd, record, badge, comic, pair of undies or maybe a yo-yo from me at some point from over a merch stand. I've been merching for over 3 years now and it's rad... apart from the accursed brisbanite 'we only party on the weekends' attitude i think. so uncosmopolitan. so anyway, here's some non-merch-related things about me: I’m a fan of both bookish behaviour and beery socialising respectively. i've been accused of being bashful, i prefer contemplative... I'm a fitness instructor, writer, reader, thinker, busynesswoman. I like people who are realistic, sarcastic and verbose. I don't enjoy the company of most hippies, i find them bloody annoying. So. I'm available to work at gigs anywhere in qld, and tours and festivals anywhere at all :) If you're on my friend list you can check out my upcoming gigs below, if you need to contact me see my 'contacting me' blog above.------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---A few of the bands I've worked with: deerhoof, thirsty merc, bodyjar, damien rice, the beautiful girls, little birdy, something for kate, butterfingers, the datsuns, presidents of the united states of america, the herd, the church, killing heidi, the slits, dallas crane, kisschasey, behind crimson eyes, shifter, sick puppies, love is all, fionn regan, grand fatal, darren hanlon, youth group, don lennon, midnight juggernaughts, frou frou foxes, valentinos, expatriate, iron on, ash grunwald, carus, blackwater fever, labjacd, wolf & cub, coalition crew, yuanhuzami, valentinos, whitley, G love and the special sauce, N'FA, the rocketsmiths, nina may, repeat offender, the white room, the casanovas, red riders, abbe fuzz, iota, old man river, band of horses, mexico city, halfway, goons of doom, elation, holly throsby, andrew morris, joanna newsom, ned collette, i heart hiroshima, macromantics, operator please, birds of tokyo, vashti bunyan, the kindness of strangers, melodessey, stature::statue, etc etc
