FIDLAR recently took our Australian shores by storm by ripping Splendour In The Grass a new one and then proceeding to party/play their way around the country wowing crowds with their no nonsense (and at the same time all the nonsense!) brand of garage style punk rock.

One of the better parts of life is the ability to snag a free door pass or two, and thus to check out acts that otherwise would be too expensive to bother seeing (what is it with the price of tickets?). So this weekend I set out to exploit that right in full, flushed by the relative success of Fidlar/Dune Rats live. That gig had most of the normal shortcomings – horrible sound, bad sightlines, over priced drinks but also a pleasant freshness and intensity and a lively moshpit. Live music was redeemed for a moment.

Get out of my tent at 11am, jaw hurts from the past two days of partying. Brenno looks up and throws me a can. Suck it back, feel a bit better. Fluoro singlet is looking worse for wear. Take it off and throw it in a recycling bin. Chicks love to see my tats anyway. Almost time to head in.

Head in with the boys at 1pm. Would have got in earlier but took an hour to work out where my Kanye West Sunglasses were.

It’s been a minute since we’ve given away some stuff and after a quick sweep of the Cool Accidents headquarters we found some absolute gems that are in desperate need of a new home.
