Seriously, if I had an award to give to the best Bits of My Weekends bit, this one takes the cake!!! Last weekend was...omg indescribable! I'd roll over backwards just to share the pure exhilaration of the music festival that is Laneway... but you know what, one HAD to be there to know exactly what we felt!
The lineup was unbelievable. The band that kicked off the performance was Warpaint. Followed by Ladyhawke, Beach House and Deerhunter. Energy was there but not so much. Crowd was also starting to flow in and the rain was pretty docile..IF that was the word to describe rain that wasn't TORRENTIAL yet! We didn't know what was coming! By the time the Canadian-based Holy Fuck played their first song, it became a literal 'Holy Fuck!' of sorts! Energy became frantic, the crowd were enraptured and the people near the front of the stage where we standing were dancing rhythmical to the synth beats and crying out their name. Holy Fuck ruled the sound waves and Brian and Graham are gods on analogs.
There was no turning back when Chk Chk Chk!,Yeasayers, Foals and Tempar Trap took over the stage after that. Energy was superhigh and supercharged, pelts of rain were beating hard on our foreheads and wearing a poncho is a futile effort. Nevertheless, there were plenty of smiles to go around.
What's next ? Glaston?!
