The national are playing in AUS! I almost wet myself when i found out the other day. Got my tickets to the melbourne show yesterday! Wooot!

edit: any other aussies on here???

Judging by the thread under "The National" petitioning them to come to Australia and New Zealand, I think there's a couple. Glad it worked - now we need to petition them to come back to Michigan.

Just waiting for the Sydney dates to be announced now...

January's going to be a busy month. The National, Arcade Fire, Bjork, Rufus Wainwright...

Yep..I'm based in Adelaide, coming over for the Melbourne show in January. Can't wait!

The National and Clogs confirmed to play 3 nights in Sydney as part of the Sydney Festival:

Exciting!

I'll be at the brisbane show with grapes in my mouth and a blue ribbon on my brain

The National and The Arcade Fire in the space of 4 days. I don't think i'll be able to contain the excitement eh.

And you can now add SPOON to that list too! Yeah!!!

what a beautiful week of music in January down under

Hell yes, throw in some LCD Soundsystem and Shy Child and i've got myself one busy day.

I'm so stoked, i turn 18 at the end of December, just in time for The National.

If anyone is going to the GC Big Day Out, i'll be the guy all in black with gloves on and a sticker that says "Hello, My Name Is: LAIKA"

Brisbane show for me too!!

Playing at the Zoo... which is a VERY small venue.. makes it even more exciting

Just waiting for Arcade FIre to announce a Bris show now!

turns out on top of my brisbane show, i'm flying down to sydney for 2 nights to see Arcade Fire one night, then the National the next!!

2 National Shows and 1 Arcade Fire show in the space of 6 nights...

All my dreams are coming true

sounds great man, and I like your avatar. "Avoid employing unlucky people - throw half of the pile of CVs in the bin without reading them."

thanks very much
"Well, I'm angry. And not because I'm in it, but because it degrades women, which I hate. And the culprit, whoever he is, is in this room. Or she - it could be a woman. Women are as filthy as men, naming no names - I don't know any. But, women... are... dirty."

Got my tickets for The Nationals 23rd Jan Sydney show today!!
Also got my Arcade Fire tickets for their first Sydney show... Jan 22nd!!

Can you believe both bands are playing in the same city on the same night?

Just looked at their myspace, they have added a second show in both Brisbane and Melbourne apparently.

I think i blew all my money on Interpol and V festival tickets

Ah well i think once will be much more than enough

Yeah you'd think. But then you go to one, and you'll end up wanting more.

Just got my tickets to the Sydney show in the mail

wohoooooooooo!!!!!!
