A Tubi Dogy

I am a spandex WARRIOR!

Ok, so Big Day Out, here’s a quick review before I collapse off to get some vittles.

Stripes – what? You think you’re gonna get a fucking bad word out of me here? Utterly the best; better than expectations. Wildly arty bitchin.

Iggy – HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH Oh man is he saggy. Saggy, daggy and an excellent performer. Lone saxophonist? What the fuck Iggy? But otherwise the spinning, the howling, the hips, the amps up to 11 and a half, it was everything one could have expected from one of the wildest men of that punk era. 1969… ahhahaha… that was an interesting one. Scared some fucking kiddie Franny ferdy girls.

Ferdypants – We all know this story, they are the height of cool all the way down to the neat trousers and fat sunglasses. They made me bop. Highlight of the set was the triplicate drumming. Brilliant synch.

The Living End – “oooh we’re not Greenday but we’re close enough to still rock” Yeah they are saved by the stand up bass and the wealth of back catalogue.

Kings of Leon – Yee haw! And also majorly rockin.

Magic Numbers – second best set I caught on the day, I was front row and they are soooo tight. Jangly boppy utterly eye-closingly love type of mucial conglomeration. Melodica helped. Beards Helped. Feel good vibe and genuine feeling helped.

Sarah Blasko – She is SOOOOOO beautiful. Unbelievable beautiful. Sing ok too. :D

Wolfmother – WOOO ROCK! Very busy crowd. Couldn’t see that much. Lots of afro. Not hard to see that.

The Subways – Hehehehe there are still new bands making arrogant Brit-rock. These ones were unique for having a very hot bassist and a good son list without a big following. Still nothing really new here.

The Grates – I LOVE how their lead singer can sound consistently like she’s having an orgasm with every note. She’s a feckin engaging performer, knew how to tease and work a crowd, songs were catchy, they have a unique somewhat empty but vocally-led style, A bit more range would be nice. This band still impressed me a LOT though.

Greenhornes – Brink on the funk-metal! Drummer did some vocals. Interesting. Watch them.

Youth Group – They sing that cover of that song. YOU KNOW THE ONE. Yeah. They also do a really great outro, their guitarist can dance and have a song “Someone Else’s Dream” that’s not a cover and also rocks.
