Bad reaction
(based on a facebook update)
Saw some cell phone video of this song (Gojira's "Of Blood and Salt" feat. Devin Townsend and Fredrik Thordendal of Meshuggah off a forthcoming EP for the Sea Shepards charity.) at one of the 2012 Soundwave shows in Aussie recently.
And, as you may or may not know, I was unable to attend ANY soundwave related show this year (including the limited selection that popped over to NZ) so when I heard about the performance as depicted in the video above, my reaction was:
and/or

Soundwave sidewave 'mini-fests' for NZ
**UPDATE:**
Twitter, by means of facebook, has informed me that the NZ soundwave mini-fests have hit a snag, apparently, the council doesn't like the idea of 2 nights in a row of noise from Soundwave type bands, and probably the crowds it would draw into the seemingly, and based on my experience last time I was there a few years ago, non-residential area surrounding Trust Stadium: crosby, stills & nash and the cranberries are much better than a soundwave type crowd (they're upcoming events at the venue: http://www.thetrustsstadium.co.nz/ )
Granted, all this news, including the NZ mini-fest idea is all completely unconfirmed & unofficial at the moment, but it all stems from the twitter account of the promoter.

Thanks in getting my attention to the situation: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bring-Soundwave-to-New-Zealand/108918035819405 The organiser for the Aussie touring festival answered a tweet in his twitter page stating that there will be a major soundwave event in NZ, namely two mini-festivals at Trusts Stadium, over two consecutive nights, Feb 22nd & 23rd the bands will be different each night with roughly 5-6bands in the lineup per night.
NOTE:
I haven't heard of any offical annoucements dates (specifics, just wait til next week), or any offical annoucements (beyond tweets) for that matter.

NOTE:
- A Day to Remember is (apparently and according to a tweet reply) on the bill,
- Marilyn Mason is not,
- System of a Down has some heavy rumours
- Lamb of God, The Black Dahlia Murder and Unearth are playing their own show, March 7th at the studio on K Rd.
- Having just had a quick squizz over the soundwavefestival.com site- there are roughly 94 bands on the lineup, which leaves 86 other bands that potentially could fill out the remaining bulk of the lineups for the two nights.
I haven't heard of any offical annoucements dates (specifics, just wait til next week), or any offical annoucements (beyond tweets) for that matter.

Second Soundwave 2012 announcement
It's a few days old now, but I was busy as all buggery up til now.
The poster of the second announcement is (should be) below, I think I heard there's 5 more bands to be announced.
New Zealand fans not heading over can be relieved that from this announcement, we can see Unearth in early March next year.

1st Announcement for Soundwave 2012
