After a couple of years of somewhat disappointing Homebake lineups (we all know it’s true) it’s reassuring to see a strong Oz and NZ festival, in the form of Sounds of Spring. So reassuring, in fact, that the Festival Ladies will be deploying troops northwards to soak up some of the glorious sunny weather and get amongst the mayhem of this Saturday’s SoS 09 in Brisbane!

Anticipation is mounting.

Will we lose an eye in the Frenzal Rhomb moshpit?  Perhaps.
Will we accidently get knocked up just by standing too close (or not close enough) to Tex Perkins?  Almost certainly.
Will we regret the decision to purchase and consume a Dagwood Dog?  Unlikely. 

Whatever happens, there will be twittering to keep you posted and to remind ourselves later of how we came to be swimming in the Brisbane River at 4am wearing a chip packet as a hat. 

Check out the Sounds of Spring website for map and timetable so you can start planning your day. Also on the website you can buy a compilation cd featuring acts that will be playing on the day for only $10!

Sounds of Spring happens THIS SATURDAY at the RNA Showgrounds in Brisbane and features an all Aussie (plus some NZers) line up including The Living End, Josh Pyke, Frenzal Rhomb, Tim Rogers, Tex Perkins, David McCormack & The Polaroids, Calling All Cars… and many more. Tix to the festival are still available.

Three more sleeps!
