I was there and I'm pretty sure nobody else here was so I am therefore superior to you all :cool:
Cut Copy are the second best live act I've ever seen, after the hives. They got the whole fucken festival jumping up and down in sync for an entire song, right to the back of the crowd, everybody was dancing for the entire set, getting their groove on. Man they are the best indie-dance-synth act ever, so fucken versatile, they have a solid drummer, and two leader dudes who rotate roles, they can both play synth, bass, electric and sing, and they regularly rotated.
Blackalicious got a shitty time slot because they fucked up their scheduling, so by the time they came on everybody was buggered/leaving the festival because it was an hour from the end on the 3rd day. They were solid though, and Gift of Gab's freestyling was amazing.
Wolfmother was awesome, but I kinda got sick of their set halfway through. Although its pretty clear they will be as big internationally as jet or the vines, but their music is much better.
You Am I were alright. Not brilliant, but solid.
Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks were alot worse than their studio stuff, they sounded like a piss weak pavement
British India were slick. Every Mess Hall song sounds like the streets "fit but dont you know it". Avalanches didnt play frontier psychiatrist, or any songs off their album for that matter :mad: They were just solid Dj's. As with the Nextmen.
Cascade Draught is a good beer, but gives bad hangovers. It was the best you could get considering they dont let you bring in bottles. Except some fucker had coopers in cans, I was like WTF???
Anyway thats about it, now I am going to get a haircut so I dont look like a long haired hippy, because my reason for having my hair long has come and gone for another year.
