Splendour In The Grass
Thursday, April 23, 2009 by mitch
What a line-up... This year's Splendour In The Grass is going to be MASSIVE.... And we only have the first announcement. After just returning from New York and using up all my holiday leave, I now have to build it all back up again so I can go away for this weekend.
Although the festival may only go for 2 days, it's all about the road trip up north from Sydney, or some die hard fans from Melbourne, or even south from QLD. Splendour kicks off on Saturday July 25 at its home - Belongill Fields in Byron Bay. This is the line-up thus far:

Be My Crush
Wednesday, January 07, 2009 by mitch
To kick off the new year I thought I would share a track which had been sent over to us. It is a remix of The Twelves track Be My Crush. I remember posting a Black Kids remix by The Twelves a couple of months back which has now exploded onto the radio waves all throughout oz. Now I cant get enough of these guys.
The Twelves - Be My Crush (The Juan MacLean's Mix) (256)
While on the topic of The Black Kids I thought I'd mention that they are in Australia for the Big Day Out Festival. Sydney and Gold Cost has sold out, but Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth are still on sale... Get tickets here to check them out.
Another hot act playing Big Day out is Holy Ghost! rocking out with a Dj set. Here is a remix of MGMT's track Of Moons Birds and Monsters.
Labels: Be my crush, Holy Ghost, MGMT, The Twelves
