Personal Biography: Me. I am a simple person who is just in love with music. I can be found in Brunswick St, Fitzroy or in many of the other fantastic pubs, which support Aussie music in Melbourne, on a Friday and Saturday night. I am 19 years old and i attend university (doing Arts/Ed - first year) at Monash Uni in Clayton. I live in a college with 220 other students so my life is a party. The highlights of my life thus far include: hanging out with Powderfinger about 2 weeks ago; having the opportunity to see many great bands live - including Pearl Jam (even if it was in a big stadium). I'm pretty spontaneous so if you ask what my fave whatever is, it is likely to have occured in the last 5 minutes. Anyway that's enough from me. I'd love to hear from any other Powderfinger fans. bye bye

Personal Biography:
Not much to say about myself really. I went to High School at St Paul's School and am now studing Journalism/Media Studies at the University of Queensland. As you can tell, my favourite band is Powderfinger. I've been following them since 93, and have got their entire back catalogue. Living in Brisbane is pretty cool because they play here reasonably often. All up I've seen them play about 16 times.
My greatest moment was when I saw Pearl Jam in March 95. I went on the night when all the chairs were lifted up and passed back over the crowds heads. I managed to get second from the front in the moshpit!! Other overseas acts I've seen include R.E.M, Soundgarden, R.H.C.P, Bush, P.W.E.I and The Offspring.

what I'm listening to now!!)
Top 3 all time albums:

Personal Biography:
I have loved music for as long as I can remember, but regrettably, the first concert I ever went to was only recently as I live about 55km from Adelaide. Anyway that first concert was the 1997 Big Day Out.....Powderfinger were there, as were the other great bands I saw, (i.e. You Am I, The Prodigy, The Offspring, Soundgarden.) I know there were other great bands there, possibly better, but I got there late and that's who I saw. Apart from them I have met Daniel and Ben from Silverchair (Which I know most will think is no big deal........but then again, everybodys gotta give these guys a break.......Yeah Daniels a poser and all, but who cares if you ask me they're pretty good, and I don't see these people who are knocking them getting out there and trying it for themselves!!!)...anyway.....other bands I have seen are, Testeagles, Where's The Pope?, Disillusion, The Mark Of Cain, Pangaea, Regurgitator, ASD, Shihad, Spiderbait, Nokturnl, Honefix, Even, Numbskulls. (I think that's all of them....and as you can probably see I haven't been to many.....but when I get my P's it'll be a different story........Stephen Morgan :-)
