The Parklife line-up for 2010 is here and it is well and truly chocked full of some Fasterlouder favourites.

Moving away from a predominantly dance-heavy format, festival promoters Fuzzy have offered some fine indie and cross-over artists on their bill this year.

English upstarts The Wombats will be bringing their signature tunes to our shores as part of the Parklife tour, along with psych-rockers The Dandy Warhols, who we had previously announced would be headed to Australia at the end of the year.

Also on the bill – indie darlings Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, New Young Pony Club and the first lady of the mic, Missy Elliot.

The Wombats

2manydouchebags headlined today. Missy Elliot brought the aggressive knobs out in full force. It didn't help that she fucking sucked. She spent 3/4 of the set talking and just going "hey hey missy missy yeah yeah yo yo" and then put the cd on for the other quarter and did the same thing changing songs every 30 seconds. Otherwise, Sinden was shit, the bit of Darwin Deez I saw looked alright but my friends thought he sucked so didn't see a lot of him. Midnight Juggernauts were ok. Jack Beats was ok. Wombats were fucking shithouse. Soulwax started off awesome and then got kinda monotonous so took the opportunity to see Kele who was AMAZING even the songs of his new album that i thought were shit changed my opinion live, his live band is really talented as well. Busy P started off good then started playing Dubstep which I personally think is garbage, especially what he was playing so bailed for Mixmaster Mike who was also playing Dubstep so continued on to Grum who sounded like a mashup of soap opera and 80s cop show theme songs remixed for a Starfuckers or Stonewall type gay club. The Gozlemes were $10 and disgusting. The beginning of Cut Copy sounded a bit wanky so continued to wander back to the main stage for Missy Elliott, who, as I said, was shit. 2manydjs played a low budget shortened version of the exact same set from Field Day, was not good. Mehdi was awesome. Groove Armada were mindblowingly insane. Would kill for one last show at the Enmore. And now am way too exhausted to go to Godskitchen, which may turn out to be a mistake, but meh im wreeeeeeeeeeeeeecked.

So, yeah. There's my review

For me, my day was:

Wolf Gang - Never listened to them before but they were nice.

Darwin Deez - Really enjoyed this. Thought the energy of the band memebers was great and loved the dance routines (yeah, loving the non-music part of a show :P).

The Wombats - Alright but thought they would be better. Maybe it was the crowd/ that it was at parklife. Hoping they play better at their own headlining show when they come back, was really looking forward to seeing these guys.

Kele - Agree with Davey, didn't really like the album but thought the live show was great.

Holy Ghost! - liked the show (saw the second half) and was easy to get to a good spot.

Cut Copy - Bit disappointed they played about 4 new songs out of about 8 or 9 (but I guess they're tired of playing the same songs for a while now). Didn't think the new songs were too good but I'll just give them benefit of the doubt that they're growers + new to play. Hoping for their own show where they can play a decent length!

The 4-5 minutes of the end of Missy Elliot I saw - Meh, glad I didn't see her.

The Dandy Warhols - Really surprised how underwhelmed I was, I thought the energy for them poor and I could barely hear the singer. Left early for GA

GA - Great energy. Don't really listen to too much of their stuff but enjoyed it.



Overall, enjoyed the day. Was easy walking around and the lines for the food stalls near the cave stage were short (saw the LARGEST line for fish + chips near the Atoll stage, so glad I didn't feel like that). Some disappoinments from some of the sets but was balanced out by the surprisingly good ones. Hated the people there though but I knew the kind of people there would be there anyways so I can't really say I didn't expect it. So so so many annoying people though. Wish I saw Glitch Mob now though after the good things I've been hearing about from the last few posts.

I've never heard someone review Gozleme so negatively. Normally they get at least 3.5 stars. Sometimes 4.5 stars if the cheese is extra melty.
