Prize Frenzy™!

Oops! In our extremely tired state of working a public holiday we forgot to put Prize Frenzy in! How rude! It's still running as usual though, so don't forget to call on Thursday or Friday, or email for the Online Frenzy, depending on what you're after. I am sure we will remember to print it next time...

Oh, the joys of a lazy long weekend... FrenzetteTM hopes you all enjoyed your extra day of bliss and are relaxed, rested and ready to enjoy all the glorious things on offer this issue. You see, FrenzetteTM spent her long weekend fossicking and gathering until she had the perfect assortment of treats for dB's favourite readers. To have a taste, all you have to do is call 8231 0881 and reveal your demise. But listen carefully, dear ones, because you have to call on Thursday for the first two prizes. Yes, you read right, Thursday. That's 14 June at 1pm. The rest of the prizes are as usual, at 1pm on Friday 15 June.

1. Now don't forget, you have to call on Thursday for this one, right? Brian O'Neill chatted to Brisbane's Intercooler about the touring life, and we have two double passes to their Adelaide show on Thurs 14 June at the Crown & Anchor Hotel to hand over, thanks to Shiny Entertainment.

2. Against Me! are on the cover (you can read Sam Vinall's interview with bassist Andrew Seward in this issue), and they're bringing their explosive live act to Adelaide yet again. Thanks to the good folk at Resist, we have two double passes to this sure-to-be-remembered show on Thurs 14 June at Fowler's Live with The Draft (all ages). Remember, call on Thursday for this or you shall miss out!
