Perth saw a splendid influx of international acts last week as Splendour in the Grass rolled around in Byron Bay, and bands took the opportunity to play a couple of dates on the side. First up was The Breeders impressing our Me3gan rather a lot, as you can see here, or marvel at shanebutler’s pics here.
Stu907 just about killed himself to get his Fratellis gallery to you first thing the next day, so you could see what you missed while frog_e tried to teach us that good things are worth the wait. See if you agree
Stuo headed to Ambar to snap MSTRKRFT hard at work, whilst Benjiswan moved among the groovers gathering stories for you. TimDavis and Rock Princess saw Cut off your Hands play a sideshow from supporting The Wombats on their Splendour sideshow; which was short and sweet and too packed for Ubiq to get near the stage… Lucky for you he shoots well.
Just next door Shanebutler was recording Sugar Army’s sell out gig for posterity
and you.
Stewby battled the dread red lights at the Hydey to catch you some nice shots of TZU and their computer love which you can read Raciroo’s thoughts about here
Birds of Tokyo shared the live at the wireless stage with Harlequin League and Abbe May for a free all ages event that ashryn wrote about here whilst Stuo tried out his new lens and got some awesome shots for this gallery
As the Sixth day ended, Regurgitator took a sweaty side show of their own from touring with DEVO and gave Antzpantz the challenge of catching them still enough for this gallery while frog_e wrote the story to go along with it.
And… we’re spent. (until next week)
