lovers! How was your
Splendour? Did you
kick it in the grass? We sure
did, and the highlights came
thick and fast. As predicted,
Sampa The Great, DMA’s,
Violent Soho and The
Avalanches absolutely ruled
the first day; the latter did
proffer a few divisive moments
during the set – including
mixing perennial favourite
Frontier Psychiatrist
with
Gnarls Barkley’s 2006 hit
Crazy
– but the overall awe at finally
seeing the band in the flesh
was palpable. Day two saw the
royalty included Courtney
Barnett, Flume, James Blake,
REMI and personal faves The
Internet, whom I was lucky
enough to then see a couple
of days later at their
Melbourne sideshow. Coming
up this month, we’re looking
forward to alt-blues prodigy
D.D Dumbo and indie
American rockers Grouplove;
in late August there’s the
always brilliant Ben Folds
following young Tassie punks
Luca Brasi; and in early
September ethereal singer-
songwriter Vera Blue and the
beloved Paul Dempsey will be
sure-fire hits. Get on out there!
And until next time, keep your
head in the music.
