Weekend at Splendour in the Grass rocked out. Deluge on Friday night ensured that it was a mud-wrestlers paradise. Was quite thankful we weren’t camping (muchos gracias adam + peter). We checked out the set-up on Friday night – and inaugurated Sera Tonin’s Panel-Van Show – learning more about Cold Chisel than we could ever have asked for in the process!

Sera was staying at the same place as we were & had some crazy tales about the punters who flocked through Australia’s most intimate venue. Saturday was quite low key – Death Cab for Cutie the highlight. Sunday was quite awesome: The Zuton were very danceable at the start of the day, Snow Patrol were better than expected, The Presets were awesome (although a little over played – we heard their single at least 5 times over the course of the weekend). We only caught the end of Matisyahu who had the whole place jumping. We got a fantastic possie for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and were treated to an extended set with lots of old material thrown in. Rain interupted out attempt to see the Scissor Sisters with no chance of getting inside the tent we beat a retreat to the night club before checking out Brian Wilson who had everyone singing along and dancing too.

Wandered home monday morning feeling decidedly knackered and am now paying the price with a serious cold.
