This Saturday Coaster Festival is happening in Gosford and it’s going to be HUGE. Not just because of the bands playing (The Bronx, Does It Offend You Yeah?) but also because for the very first time in the history of festival-ing all FIVE of the FESTIVAL LADIES will be attending the festival TOGETHER! Watch out Gosford!
To commemorate this monumentus occasion – each of the festival ladies will not only be getting Festival Lady Southern Cross tattoos (!!). Boom. They will also be doing LIVE UPDATES from the festival via TWITTER. Double boom.
The tweets will be compiled onto THIS PAGE making it easier for YOU to get all the action from the festival in a concise, pocket-size bundle. As an extra special bonus – live PHOTOS will also be flowing in via the amazing world of Flickr.

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!)

The first line up announcement for Pyramid Rock festival (yep, another New Years festival) was released today.
Overall it’s a fairly boring announcement… Empire Of The Sun, The Cat Empire, The Butterfly Effect, Architecture In Helsinki, Faker, The Beautiful Girls, Blue King Brown thrown together with a few internationals like Ugly Duckling (US), LCD Soundsystem (DJ Set), Baddies (UK), and The Boxer Rebellion (UK).
My heart skipped a beat when I saw LCD Soundsystem… and then I saw DJ set. FAIL. Although this is only the first announcement and there are more acts to be added. Maybe LCD Soundsystem (non-DJ set)?! Maybe?! Fingers crossed for some non-DJ set sideshows.

You too could get messy at Falls Festival this year like these dudes…
So as you are all probably aware… the line up for Falls Festival got leaked last week as a result of some awesome detective work and a sloppy web developer (fired yet?).

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.

It’s official, the kids love Tumbleweed as much as we do. After presales selling out last week, general release tickets for Homebake 2009 were all gone today within minutes of going on sale this morning. Nothing to do with Sneaky Sound Finger or whoever else is playing, we are sure.
Consider yourself warned that all Festival Ladies will be present at the Domain on the 5th of December 2009. That is if we survive our first ever all combined effort, Coaster.
