 This summer’s gonna be huge, so jmag’s summer festival issue is the biggest jmag ever, weighing in at a whopping 128 pages! It’s sure to keep you topped up with big, beery reading throughout December and January.
jmag’s massive “Fest-o-rama” cover story is a definitive guide on where to go, who to see, what not to wear, the best sideshows and how to throw a backyard festy if you missed out on the top tickets. Plus discover the five things that bands on festival bills are taking with them (which muso’s packing a coffee plunger and The Diary Of Anne Frank?!), and readers spill the beans on how they’re planning for their first ever festivals. And you can WIN VIP trips to Good Vibrations and Laneway festivals, plus a whole home studio full of recording gear!
The silly season stuff continues as Texan indie king Ben Kweller tries out that noble Aussie sport, lawn-bowling; there’s short fiction for hammock reading jags; all the photos and band chat from the big jmag barbie in Melbourne, and an analysis of what makes a guaranteed feel-good summer hit. Find out what tunes the Test cricketers will be strutting out to this season, and as Australia gears up for January 2008’s Hottest 100 countdown, our four-page form guide reveals who your favourite bands are voting for and whose chances they’d like to scupper.
Catch in-depth interviews with Arcade Fire, Daft Punk, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Interpol, and rip out a classic Rage Against The Machine poster. Meanwhile, Spiderbait explain how to have a No.1 hit, our Lucky Workie interviews the Cat Empire at AWOL in Tasmania, Aussie comedians Andrew McClelland and Lawrence Leung go sake-crazy in Tokyo while Augie March nearly kill each other on their American tour. There’s a Hack report into pill testing at festivals, and it’s time to say goodbye to triple j’s Breakfast Team as we know it. Weirdest of all is Roadie Zen, in which those sages of the road impart the wisdom they’ve learned along the way.
Then there’s the usual gossip from triple j presenters and bands alike, plus current affairs, news, reviews, and events to check out in the coming month.
The bumper December/January issue is available from newsagents, ABC Shops and ABC Centres and online — and it’s still only $6.95.
