ANTHRAX: CONFIRMED FOR SOUNDWAVE AUSTRALIA 2010:
Anthrax redefined metal in the '80s, stressing anger, speed, and emotional intensity over big hair and power ballads. After a stunning performance at the Sonisphere festival a huge campaign was waged by the fans to get John Bush back on vocals. We can proudly announce that John will indeed be fronting Anthrax for their Soundwave performances and this will surely have the bands faithful frothing at the mouth! Anthrax join 3 other Riot bands on the Soundwave bill – Meshuggah, Baroness & Whitechapel!

Here's the thing - Bonython Park is quite literally 6 minutes walk from my house. Even if I don't go, I'll hear this in perfect clarity, except that on that day I'll be with 500 choristers and 2 symphony orchestras rehearsing for Mahler's 8th Symphony. Anthrax I like, but I've never heard of the others. So should I be sorry to miss it, or just annoyed by the fifty thousand cars trying to park in front of my drive way?
