Prize Frenzy™!

Phew! The Fringe may be over dear readers but the action doesn't stop there - as evidenced by the plethora of goodies within your very reach. Now we know many of you are incredibly excited by the prospect of a whole four days off to sleep in and eat chocolate (Puff is very much looking forward to fossicking for eggs in the backyard and even Frenzette is taking a break from hell raising) but that's where it can get tricky. So pay close attention: This week you need to ring 8231 0881 at 1pm sharp on THURSDAY April 5. Yes folks, Thursday. If you ring on Friday, you'll miss out on the following:

1. So you read Alistair Wallis's interview with John Butler in the last issue and you're curious about the new John Butler Trio album? Well you can get your very own copy of 'Grand National', thanks to John Butler and Jarrah Records.

2. Sweden's Blindside are heading to our shores in the very near future and you can be there to greet them with a double pass to their show, along with Antiskeptic and Sleight of Hand at Enigma Bar on Thursday April 12. But wait, there's more: a copy of their latest release too, all thanks to Big Apachee.

3. Wolfmother is playing at the Barr Smith Lawns on Monday 9 April, along with Wolf & Cub and Lady Strangelove. Check out Ashley Prigent's interview in this very issue then grab yourself a double pass to the show courtesy of the good people at Mad Dog Publicity.

8. In Fiction are having a busy time on the road, which you can read all about in Will Oakeshott's interview - they're playing with The Matches on Apr 7.

9. They're on the cover, they're interviewed inside,they're almost here and then they'll be gone forever: 28 Days chats with Mat Woods about their upcoming final tour.
