Gemdilem, Poleski and Carlsberg, take on the youth of Australia at the 2009 Big Day Out in Sydney!

Gemdilem: It is hot. It is humid. I think I have lost 5kg in sweat and I’m not even at Homebush yet. Lets face it just getting to the BDO in Sydney is a mission. Thanks to the retardness of the Sydney public transport system. A journey that takes 0.5hr by car takes 1.5 hrs by public transport. Awesome. Thanks shity-rail.

Poleski: As I wait at central station I am bemused by all the youths clinging with hope that the 2006 Modular-started trend on Fluro might still live on. Hot pink cut offs. Why?
