Blueprint Festival 18/09/2009 - 21/09/2009

blueprint

Blueprint Festival, aka Pooprint Festival, took place at a swamp in Tatyoon, not what you'd expect for a music festival. Well sneaky beer, and eventually free beer perked things up a bit, and along with a pretty cool lineup the weekend turned out pretty good in the end. So here are links to my reviews on FasterLouder, plus a heap of videos of the madness that entailed.

Review of Sunday

After a pretty crappy Friday night, with bands starting nearly FOUR HOURS late, the Galvatrons really made things worthwhile. Here's She's In Love:


The Basics put on a great show, as always. Here's Bitten By The Same Bug:

Following the Basics was a beer run to Streatham, courtesy of Kman, Amfony and Tait (aka Goon Belly). This helped us cheer up a lot.

In the wind of Sunday, our tent hardly stood a chance...

Sunday afternoon brought with it some great tunes. This is Clare Bowditch and Autumn Bone. Sorry this one's not too great cause I was up the back.


Meanwhile, Kman and Amfony were getting up to mischief, taping random rubbish to people's backs. They developed quite the fan base, too. This video is Kman attempting to get the lead singer of Me. Turned out it wasn't him...


And here's the rubber mud, and some dancing by Goon Belly:



And we all love tools that dance like this:


This video is Me doing Working Life:


And this is the bonfire that distracted people from Me. The guy starts pouring petrol in an attempt to get it going...


Hooray Pooprint. I mean, seriously, who plans a festival in a swamp?
