JANUARY 2015 JB Hi-Fi
cartellmusic.com.au/sfsc
Expect: Well-dressed families
and groups of relaxed friends
drinking champagne in the January
sun, dancing the evening away to the
very best of contemporary French and
French-related music, including Emilie
Simon, The Dø, Francois and the Atlas
Mountains and more!
Go:
Melbourne Jan 11, Werribee
Mansion
Sydney Jan 17, St. John’s
College in Camperdown.
You simply must see!
The Dø
Expect: New Year’s revellers, most likely
of the younger persuasion, celebrating the
following....
1) The end of the year
2) All the brilliant music on offer
3) The sun and the sea
4) Being alive
5) One another
You getting the general idea?
Go:
New Year’s at Lorne and Byron Bay are
sold out, but tickets for Marion
Bay Tasmania are still
available.
You simply must see!
Dan Sultan, CW Stoneking,
Alt-J
sugarmountainfestival.com
Expect: The cognoscenti. This event is
billed as a summit of music and art, and
it’s eclectic and left-field bill certainly
speak volumes to support that idea.
Kim Gordon is bringing her post-Sonic
Youth ‘Body Head’ concept with
Bill Nace for its Australian debut,
and any event containing Ariel
Pink’s post-post-‘post pop’ pop
is shaking the edges of culture
to see what falls off first.
Oh, and NAS is playing all of
Illmatic. The whole thing: go
see that.
Go:
Jan 24, Victorian College
of the Arts, Melbourne
You simply must see!
Ariel Pink, NAS.
Expect: A gathering of the heavy
music faithful. Whether it’s metal,
hardcore, classic punk, stoner-
rock,industrial or just balls-out-hit-you-
hard-in-the-face HEAVY, heavy music
will represent, or be represented.
Go:

Faith No More,
Slipknot, Lamb of God.
Expect: Music lovers! While St
Jerome’s Laneway (these days held
neither anywhere near a venue called
St Jerome’s, or indeed near a laneway)
attracts those out for the best day in the sun
possible. The line-up has, is, and always will
be the drawcard. It’s eclectic, it’s edgy and
it draws on a love of music felt equally by
the festival programmers and the punters.
Banks, Benjamin Booker, St Vincent, FKA
Twigs and Perfect Pussy all on the same bill?
It’s going to be a good day. It’s inevitable.
