No idea when the second release will be. I rate the line-up already so it can only get better.


I'm possibly flying out of the country on the Tuesday...ouch! Might have to pull an all-nighter

Parklife-related, but all-round sad news - Charlie Haddon, of Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, killed himself on the weekend

[Tooting Bec]

2many dj's have just been added to the line up.

Wow!!!!

Can't wait to see them again!

Sweet!

Not long now!!!

Had to chuckle as I read through the 'conditions of entry' and came across this one:

Please keep your shirt on! Anyone not wearing a top of some sort will be asked to put one on. If you refuse you will be removed from the event.

Was brought in last year due to all the tough guys in Sydney rocking up without any shirts on and getting in fights. Should be a good day, looking at 25 degrees.

If any SAFooty-ites are heading along, if you see a peanut sporting a porno-mo and a t-shirt with this pic...



Come and say hello to me

Cracking day for a festival that marks the start of the warm weather and the party season.

Seems short shorts will be in again this summer, I've never seen so many female arse-cheeks hanging out of ripped denim in the one place at the one time!

Highlights: the weather, chicks in short shorts, Dan Black, The Wombats, Soulwax, Busy P and 2manydjs (who played an ripper set)

Lowlights: the cost of booze - extortion!
