Just wanted to put up a posting regarding TAF10 (Tight-Arse Festival 2010) as its been awhile and I don't want you to think it's been canned! Penciled items have become penned, good ideas have become gospel, plans and itineraries are in place and to say its all systems go is an enormous understatement.
Background: Because BDO is a twat infested, hairy mole on the music industries buttocks we have decided to have our own festival. Rather then spend a fortune on tickets, beer and food surrounded by the thousands of filthy, stinking, sweaty, dehydrated, drug filled toss-pots at the BDO - come and relax, crack a beer and pitch a tent with us at TAF10.
It will be held on the same weekend as the BDO - 30th/31st January - in our backyard.
So How Will It Work?:
Musically, we will be copying BDO but they are still finalising their lineup. Confirmed acts this year are Eskimo Joe, Powderfinger, Muse, Lily Allen, Karnivool and Hilltop Hoods just to name a few.
Once the final lineup is confirmed I will order them by popularity and buy the latest CD from each artist based on the TAF RSVP'd attendance. Eg: If 15 people RSVP to TAF, I'll buy the CD of the 15 most popular artists performing. The TAF entry fee is $25 per person and this will BUY you one of those CD's, chosen at random, which you take home afterward.
In accordance with the REAL music festival guidelines, camping facilities are available and highly recommended to ensure you're well and truly, amongst the action. There are 2 camping areas in our backyard: Crystal Lake (North) and Candy Mountain (South) - both offer powered sites and have Toilet/Shower facilities available.

TAF is proudly affiliated with Ah Yeah Brewing Co. who has kindly offered to setup a self service on-site bar with tap beers for the festival. Full range of beers and prices (crazy cheap) will be released closer to the date but chances are, if your a beer drinker, your covered!
All food, other beverages, tents and eskies etc are BYO. TAF will have free on-site cooking facilities available (2 BBQ's + Weber), hot water and toilet paper will be ample and provided. All crazy cooking techniques encouraged, volunteers needed for the mammoth Sunday morning fry-up.
So RSVP-ASAP to come along to TAF and join us kicking back, sipping a cold beer in the backyard and making music history! Who knows, it could just be the start....

Do you have some Marshall stacks to pump out these tunes?
We have an 'adequate' sound system which will invoke neighbour disapproval, gatecrashers and police attendance.
