Five times over and out

The day went a bit like this: Wake up, Blues skies, drive in, park in mud, enter, backstage, observe, meet important people, dance, get drunk, take photos, dance, work, hari Krishna, black market drink tokens, late for shoot, too drunk, work, dance, leave.



Blues & Roots 2010 was a Killer! It's one of those festivals you can tick off all the bands you're sure you'll never see. There new festival site at Tyagarah looks like it's from a fairytale, and there 2010 staff made it a really pleasant working experience. -jh

3 cheers! Beck Rocchi has just joined the Get Out media team. Having studied interior design and architecture, traveled the world and grown up in the mega city of Melbourne; it's a sure thing Beck has the Mojo we like! (I've only known her for 5 minutes) But i can tell!! Beck is super keen to document all aspects of social documentary. From house parties to Current Affairs, so make sure you register your event with kate@getout.net.au. Big or small! -jh

From the Vault 02: An ode to memories...

I often wonder what happened to my memory. Have all those years of synthetic love and endless parties robbed me of any first hand recollection of my life? Are my only memories reflections of the dodgy black and white disposables or the pixelated juxtapositions poised on facebook pages; heightened moments often fabricated for the pleasure of the camera. Even besides those deborturous evenings my memories of growing up seemed like spinifex in the desert. But recently I rejoiced, for they are still there, buried discretely in the layers of distractive dialogue. Solitude has allowed them to rise again, vivid and wild, full of colour and injected with laughter. Random and without warning they grace my days in this foreign land, I'm so happy for what has been and for the mystery of what is to come.

And for all those times that seem forgotten, hail to the photograph.

One for the epileptics?

Yacht Club smoked out the Northern on there Australian tour on Friday Night. They put on there usual fast paced set full of party anthems, breakbeat and top of the charts mash-ups. The place was full of a crazy partying peeps and i think everyone left with a smile from ear to ear. Not to mention a head ache from the monotonous strobe light which was seemingly any ones to operate?

Support acts were Howl and DZ. Such pleasent young men! -JH





:: The strobe set the light meter into an absolute frenzy, Fortunately there was a photogenic crowd.
