Well, for my day I managed, somehow to catch quite a few acts;
Lisa Mitchell 8
Really was a bright and bubbly (plus bloody warm) start to the day. I love her style as a performer, and today she didn't get a single coin thrown at her.
Bluejuice 6
Funny, yes. Entertaining, yes. But still the music just didn't appeal to my tastes.
Karnivool 6
Waited at the front for Mastodon listening to this. Again, not a fan. I don't know what it was about them, but they seemed to drag on horribly.
Mastodon 9
Played the whole album, despite an early mistake absolutely nailed the Czar. It was quite interesting seeing them, would've loved to see some old stuff.
The Middle East 7
Not too bad, there are better songs than Blood. Fun though. Especially the story about the singer's injury.
Eskimo Joe 4
Cannot stand them, but it was a chance to see the beginning of the crowd's rise. For the usual fan they did play well.
Hilltop Hoods 0
I heard three songs while in the toilet queue. Worst part of my day.
The Decemberists 6
Didn't hear much, as we were having dinner at the time, but I guess you could say it was good background music.
The Horrors 8
Fantastic, except they lasted fifteen minutes before calling quits. A shame. Not usually a listener but they played bloody well, especially in the rain. It all fit perfectly.
Dizzee Rascal 1
Kill Me.
Rise Against 4
Caught the last few songs, it was ok, but hell, a lot better than Dizzee. Seem really keen to bring punk back.
Lily Allen 6
Sadly, a disappointment for me. I don't mind her, but God she dragged a lot of her songs, plus the distant sound didn't do well for her accent. When "Not Fair" lasts about ten minutes...jeez.
The Mars Volta 9
My highlight, Goliath and L'Via L'Viaquez were absolutely great to witness. My personal favourite for the day. The crowd definitely left for the show, but I bloody loved it.
Powderfinger 7
I don't like them but the hour was surprisingly good. A lot of impatience for Muse, but Powderfinger did all they needed to for a good show.
Muse 7
Didn't hit the expectations that so many people set for them, nevertheless they do a good live show, I can't stand songs from the new album, plus Supermassive Black Hole so lost some interest there. Crappy cover with Nic from Jet though.
Fear Factory 8
Played bloody well, a good way to end the night.
