went for laneway yesterday!
in some ways, it didnt meet my expectations but in some ways, i had loads of fun.
mostly had loads of fun dancing and singing along to FANTASTIC MUSIC <3

warpaint was up first.
I LOVE THEM, THEY ARE TOO AWESOME.
one of the best girl bands around? :D
girl power hehehe!
but the crowd was like not reacting to them at all? WTF MAN PEOPLE.
maybe they should perform at night, the atmosphere would be much more suitable for their music.
but the girls were great on stage, enjoying themselves on stage nonetheless.
my favourite song from warpaint set would be beetles, 10x better live damn shiok :D



ladyhawke was next, i sat down and didnt bother.
beach house was after that, moved slightly more in front but i think they are not festival music.
better off in some intimate setting like esplanade!

deerhunter was 4th.
AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
performing live really gives their music bonus points, their music is like a build up of magical full sounds enveloping you hehe.
and when my favourite nothing ever happened kicked in, SHIOK MAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
and a very polite band!

holyfuck was good just as i expected but it really blew my mind that it sounded so good and so shiok!
maybe it was like the good sound system or smth but holy fuck sure knows how to produce good good good music to get us enjoying ourselves :D

then we skipped !!! for dinner :x
came back for yesayer, and the whole time i was just waiting for them to end and for foals to come on :x

and then FOALSSSSSSSSSS.
BEST. PERFORMANCE. OF. THE. NIGHT.
FREAKING LOVE THEM <3
every single song they played was awesome.
best songs were probably cassius and balloons, got the crowd going crazyyyyyyyyyy.
got to hear my spanish sahara <3
but whats up with singaporeans, too lazy to sing along or what tsk HAHA.



and the night ended with temper trap!
some bits were abit boring, they had veryyyyyyyyyy long transitions.
but of course if your songs are good, it makes up for everything :D
fader and down river got the crowd going the most and love lost and sweet disposition were the singalongs <3
down river was surprisingly good live, i normally skip down river when i listen to temper trap :x
and omg the lighting effects were damn awesome lah, totally made the performance even more up HAHA.
but they didnt play soldier on, COME ON MAN WHY NOT :(



whole thing ended at like 130am, drenched muddy and tired.
my jc class was playing tong xiao mahjong but i skipped that and decided to go home instead, totally knocked out in the cab HAHAHA.


ok off to catch up on work zzzzzzz
