Falling Down The Stairs

In 2007 some of you, including myself, may vaguely remember that I took a trip to London to witness the V Festival in it's entirety with bands such as Foo Fighters, The Fratellis, Dizzee Rascal and its also where I lost the last shards of respect that I had for Lily Allen as she stumbled through a setlist she should have known like the back of her hand.

But aaanyway to retell the story quickly at the end of our second day options were limited. We could have gone and watched the Killers close the main stage but in the end I went and saw Basement Jaxx perform with their full band set up - and I was more than impressed. The most entertaining and just generally FUN show I've ever seen. Cabaret Electronica even. Its almost indescribable and since then I've been telling my friends to make sure they DO NOT miss out when they finally decide to bring the entire lineup down to Australia.

While this is probably once again old news I'd just like to raise awareness to the fact that THEY ARE COMING! While they were announced on the lineup for the Future Music Festival the fact that no one else on the bill really interested me made me hesitant to purchase a ticket. Then upon returning from holidays I opened up the Drum Media and verbally orgasmed as I saw the announcement for sideshow at the Enmore Theatre. It would also appear that the opportunity is there for Melbournites to catch them at the Palace. If you're not fortunate enough to live in one of the good cities in this country you can catch them at Future Music.


All I can really say is you would honestly have to be STUPID to miss this travelling extravaganza. Not even the video does it justice. Honestly.
