Ah, Splendour weekend. The streets are packed, and people are wandering all over the road. I nearly run over a guy dressed in black, he waves his beer at me like he wants a lift.
Not this time, buddy.
I get to La La Land around 10 and Kato is pumping brain buzzing electro. Bass that shakes the fillings in your teeth. The place is alive tonight, there is a pretty good pre-Splendour vibe going on. I don't think anyone wants to get trashed this early in the game.
Here tonight are a couple of photographers who have come to check out the Byron scene (You can see awesome photos by Dan from Papakish here.) I don't think they'll be disappointed. There are some beautiful women in short dresses running around, and enough fit men to keep me happy too. But enough about that...
Van She are a live band right, so Van She Tech is their way of keeping fingers in more pies. You can see the live element in the way they spin - most DJ's are heads down, focused on the mixing and bouncing along, but these guys look like your mates in the corner of your living room. With heads up, they dance along and emphasize the lyrics by pointing at the crowd.
I'm too much of a nanna to stick around for the whole set, and I have to save my energy for Splendour. Luckily, La La Land earned a 3am licence for Sunday, so maybe I'll head back there when Splendour shuts down.
If i can handle it...
