Meredith second line up

Gemdilem — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 01:31:14 +0000

Meredith Music Festival... set in the beautiful Supernatural Amplitheatre where life is happy and tranquil. It's also kind of muddy and wet at times. But who doesn't love gumboots and ponchos? I haven't met such a person. The line up for this year's festival already consists of some old school favs like Animal Collective, Jarvis Cocker and Tumbleweed. Today it was announced, further proving that the 90s are well and truly back, that The Fauves will be joining the line up.

Meredith Music Festival line up rumours

Gemdilem — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 05:03:59 +0000

Who doesn't love a good almost-definite rumour? Although the line up hasn't been announced yet there are two acts which seem like almost-definites to play at this year's Meredith Music Festival. Jarvis Cocker has announced that he will be performing shows in Australia in December. The lack of a Melbourne show can be seen as a sure sign that he will be playing at the Meredith Music Festival. Also, according to the Domino Records website Animal Collective will also be playing at Meredith. Awesome? YES!

The afterglow. The comedown.

Gemdilem: I was woken up at 11am by someone in a tent nearby yells very loudly "it's stopped raining". There was a loud cheer and car horns beeped (many people slept in their cars because their tents did not survive the crazy weather on Saturday).

Poleski: After having our Dorito and chocolate breakfast we packed all our muddy gear and said goodbye to Meredith. As we walked by the muddy hill we saw many people still going from the night before. Lots of face planting was witnessed. Katatonic was grateful she didn't stack it once - gotta love a mind blank.

Gemdilem: It had stopped raining. Just in time for us to pack up our tents. It was time to head back to civilisation. It was time to say goodbye to ponchos and gumboots, compost toilets and mud.

Meredith Music Festival (Saturday) – 13/12/2008

More rain, more mud and musical performances from Tame Impala, The Mountain Goats, The Bronx, Saul Williams, Architecture In Helsinki, Little Red, The Datsuns, MGMT and Muscles.

Gemdilem: And now the rain has been replaced with rain AND wind. It was hard enough to get the tent to stay put being pegged into the wet, soggy ground. Now with the extra challenge of the wind it was impossible. Tents got airborne. Walking around the camp ground was like walking around a tent graveyard.

Mrs Pop: We are going to get mould in all sorts of places.

Do you like mystery, adventure and stories about compost toilets? Well, you came to the right place!

Back in December Gemdilem, Poleski and Mrs Pop headed down to the mystic land of Victoria to attend the Meredith Music Festival.

Lots of rain, lots of mud and musical performances from Violent Soho, Beaches, Ten East, Regurgitator, Man Man and Holy Fuck.
