Oh crap. I'm in the car, driving along the Bellarine highway, when the clouds suddenly part. I nearly forget that I'm driving a hundred FREAKING kilometres an hour and make a nice little swerve. This has left the poor fella driving behind me no doubt questioning why those crazy P Platers are even allowed on the roads. At this point though, i don't care, because the realisation that the Soundwave music festival is one week away has finally hit me.
As some one with a massive range of music taste (Bon Iver sits awkwardly yet politely between Blink-182 and Breaking Benjamin on my IPOD), Soundwave is a clear opportunity to satisfy the harder rock cravings my ears have developed. As someone who doesn't have thousands of dollars to go to every music festival, I generally make myself choose between the big three: BDO, FUTURE and SOUNDWAVE. Big Day Out is generally the no-brainer, but the impressive diversity of the Soundwave timetable has this particular festival marked as unmissable in my calendar (OK. This "Calendar" is theoretical. I don't actually have a calendar, unless... does my iPhone calendar count?)
So yeah, i'm getting excited. Not only for Soundwave, but for the fact that another monster music festival, GROOVIN' THE MOO, is sneaking up in a couple of months. Now this festival caters to my more 'INDIE' needs. I'm nearly peeing my pants at the excitement of seeing some of these dudes playing. And it will be the third time i would have seen Australian group BIG SCARY play. For anyone who hasn't seen this dude/dudette duo play, they are insane. Seriously, insane. And now i've got Gladiatior stuck in my head... ("But you know what's IN MY HEART!")
Now for all you creeps out there, here is an indication of where i will likely be all day...
Now i have to say, the one thing that always blows about music fests are CLASHES! No matter who you are, there is always one clash that has you pulling your hair out and crying like a little girl. For me, there is one main clash. My desire to see System Of A Down, Angels And Airwaves, and VersaEmerge is frustrating me to no end. All i can say is that you had better impress me, Tom "that dude from blink 182" Delonge.
JA
