My friends and I went down to Canberra over the weekend because we were attending a music festival (Groovin’ the Moo) held at the University of Canberra. Again I missed out on seeing Lisa Mitchell, but I managed to see Miami Horror, Spoon, some of Tegan and Sara, Grinspoon and Vampire Weekend. I haven’t heard anything by Miami Horror before, and I was pleasantly surprised when I started bopping along to them (I’ll be looking forward in getting a copy of their album when its released!).
Vampire Weekend were wicked. I loved their set – misty ambience with several chandeliers hanging from above. I loved how they involved the audience in ‘One (Blake’s Got a New Face)’. I really wished we stayed longer for Vampire Weekend, that is, if we didn’t need to drive back to Sydney after the festival. I’ll definitely be checking them out again whenever they’ve got another gig in town!
The only let down of the festival was that we over 18-ers could only buy and drink alcohol inside a certain area, which kinda sucked because we felt like penned up animals!
Here are some gig pictures which I took (which are posted on my tumblr).
Next gigs? As much as I would absolutely LOVE (multiple by infinity) to attend Splendour in the Grass, I’ll just have to settle on the sideshows of Angus & Julia Stone and maybe Florence + the Machine!
