REVIEW: Good Vibrations – 13 Feb 2010 – Centennial Park, Sydney

Salt n Pepa, Naughty By Nature, Busta Rhymes. I thought I was dreaming when I saw that line up. An epic blast from the past.

PHOTOS: Golden Plains – 6 to 8 March 2010 – Meredith

Gemdilem — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 08:15:46 +0000

On the Victorian labour day long weekend Ambascamba and Gemdilem headed to Meredith for the Golden Plains festival. The festival is by far one of Australia’s favourite music festivals and it’s easy to see why. Golden Plains is one of those festivals where anything and everything might happen. This year was no different with mud, crazy Israeli rockers, gum boots, pink flamingos, rain, peach schnapps, reformed 90s bands, crowd surfing, and doing the nutbush.

REVIEW: Homebake – 05 Dec 2009 – The Domain, Sydney

Gemdilem — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 06:16:35 +0000

The Festival Ladies, minus Mrs Pop who is currently lost to the Seattle grunge movement, attended Homebake on the weekend. The much loved Aussie / NZ festival once again this year did not disappoint. With Futurama tattoos, vodka infused slurpees, the revival of the epic 90s band Tumbleweed, interpretive dancing, vodka smuggled in via Ribena squeezies and yet another moshpit injury... it had it all. Read on for a blow by blow account of the day brought to you by Gemdilem, Ambascamba, Carlsberg, Poleski.

REVIEW: Sounds of Spring festival – 26 Sept 2009 – RNA Showgrounds, Brisbane

Gemdilem — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 11:27:21 +0000

The Festival Ladies don’t tend to travel outside the greater Sydney metropolitan area for festivals terribly often, but the line up for Sounds of Spring was too good to miss. Gemdilem managed to win a ticket, and that’s all that was needed for Ambascamba to commit to the trip northwards. Brisvegas did not disappoint.

REVIEW: Coaster Festival – Gosford, NSW – 12th September 2009

Gemdilem — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 12:04:39 +0000

On Saturday 12th September 2009 we travelled to Gosford for the Coaster Festival. It was an epic event. For the very first time in the history of festival-ing all FIVE of the FESTIVAL LADIES attended a festival TOGETHER! Antics, mullets, fake tan, ballet dancing, Southern Cross tattoos and Mr Smirnoff... this festival had it all. You've read the live updates from the festival, now read the review to find out just how we managed to meet Matt from the Bronx, how Gemdilem got KO-ed, and much much more.

Review: Flip Out Festival – Manning Bar, Sydney – 29 Aug 2009

Gemdilem — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 12:01:53 +0000

On Saturday 29 August I, along with Jonny_YesYes (aka Mr Polaroids of Androids), went to Flip Out Festival at Manning Bar in Sydney. I arrived right on 2pm, as the doors opened, so I was one of the lucky punters to score a free cd featuring rare and exclusive tracks from all the artists at the festival.

Zond

As I walked into Manning Bar, Zond were already playing. I can't tell you that much about them as I was:

reminishing about my Sydney Uni days at Manning Bar - "I was standing right there (*pointing*) when I saw The Avalanches perform. A week later they broke and they were HUGE."
distracted by the pretty colours of my new free cd... pretty
deciding what beer to drink (James Squire Golden Ale on tap - winner!)

A Festival Lady In The Grass

Poleski — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 00:05:10 +0000

Poleski takes on the mud puddles of Byron Bay... solo. So I don’t know if you’ve heard... it may have popped up on your radar... just... but Splendour In The Grass was on the other week and it was awesome. amazing. fantastical. And I’ll go as far as saying... SPLENDID. Yes, I know. You don’t care. You don’t want to hear about it anymore. It was 2 music festivals, and 4 modular nights ago anyway. Nobody cares. Well my apologies in prolonging your frustration, but I missed my flight and had to walk back to Sydney, thus the delay in review. I’m not even going to go into the organic donut withdrawals I’ve been dealing with. I promise this is the last you’ll hear of SITG until 2010.
