Dig It Up! 2013 announce round three!
With an already impressive line-up Dig It Up! are making their third announcement with a string of new acts now revealed. Joining the festivities are stoner-fuzz giants Tumbleweed playing in Sydney only, whilst Kim Salmon and Leanne Cowie are teaming up to play sweet music from the Scientists early stuff in Melbourne and Sydney.
The Crusaders with their fuzz sound and The New Christs are hitting up Melbourne, Geelong’s Frowning Clouds are debuting in Sydney, Dylan-esque garage-rocker Harry Howard is also playing Melbourne.
As well as music there will be laughs a plenty with the Hard-Ons bassist Ray Ahn spinning one of his hilarious fables onstage in Sydney, as well as stand-up comedian Bruce Griffith and Rodney Tood’s “fully sick” alter-ego ‘AhmedZub’. Melbourne will see Dave O’Neil complain about suburbia, along with Tv actor/comedic writer Bob Franklin.
This should be a hilariously musical event not to be missed, as more acts to be announced head to www.digitup.net.au for more info.
