soundwave

so sunday was the soundwave music festival... kind of the australian version of warped tour, except that it was held at a racetrack





first saw straylight run... the crowd was so small for some reason that i easily got up against the barricade





it made me happy to hear this song... straylight run - existentialism on prom night

minus the bear put on a great show



(i love my new zoom lens because it lets me get way up close pictures like that)



best song... also best name... minus the bear - absinthe party in the fly honey warehouse

say anything was amazing (as always) and said it was their first show in australia. the crowd definitely loved them, and was singing along with every song. max seemed really happy/surprised about this and promised to come back.









she called me on the phone, and... say anything - wow i can get sexual too

valencia was surprisingly fun, more energetic than i expected






the singer and bass player were subtly fighting for the crowds attention, it was amusing (though not intentionally)



got to see parts of alot of other bands like alkaline trio, the subways, hellogoodbye, horse the band, underoath, i am the avalanche

finally, nine inch nails... was anti-climactic
they didnt seem to have the energy that i expected, and neither did the crowd while they were playing. so i was a little let down, and then left because i was exhausted and it was the end of the day. but still had a great time.

orientation this week, more music soon, and class monday
