Midnight Juggernauts

I  ordered the Midnight Juggernauts This New Technology 7″ Vinyl in around August last year (2009), and received it yesterday. It was worth the wait. I have never seen such a kewl vinyl before…It’s a swirl of bright orange and blue, and of course the cover art is good. Midnight Juggernauts have some awesome cover art. This is for Greg by the way, so don’t say anything haha.

Sunday

Was the first Australian Big day Out for 2010…
It was so busy! Even at 10:30 in the morning! It seems like it gets bigger, and of course, more expensive every year.
We got up at 7:10am (which was lucky because our alarm didn’t go off at 6:50am), and drove to the gold coast. On the way we saw a dead dog in the middle of the Pacific Motorway, that wasn’t kewl. (Just thought i’d add that) We decided to park at Greg’s Aunty’s house for free, instead of paying $30, had a bit of a chat, then walked to the parklands. The first band we saw was DZ. They were ok, I wasn’t really into them because all of their songs sound the same. Then we saw I Heart Hiroshima, they were good as usual. Next was Lisa Mitchell, she was awesome. Laole, she asked the crowd not to throw coins at her while she was playing Coin Laundry…

Next was Karnivool on the Orange stage, they were ok…I only new the songs they had released, so I wasn’t very into it.
Then we made our way back to Green stage where The Temper Trap were playing. It was so hot in there…There were so many people inside that smallish tent, and no air was getting inside it. I had never ever been that sweaty, yuck! But they were worth it. 🙂

Next we had some Lunch, and saw a bit of Eskimo Joe and Girl Talk, before getting into the Boiler Room for Midnight Juggernauts. They were pretty awesome. They sounded better on Sunday than they had at the Hi-Fi a few months ago. After that, we made our way to the 2 main stages, so we could get a good spot for Muse. At these stages we saw Lily Allen, The Mars Volta, Powderfinger, and lastly, Muse.

This year’s Big Day out was awesome overall. Although It was really hot, and I got some bad blisters. 🙂
