It was a festival in Canberra. A festival. In Canberra. A festival. In Canberra. I might have paid $90 to bash my head against the inside of a porta-potty just to support the idea of a FESTIVAL in CANBERRA, but the lineup was sufficient that I didn't have to.
Spoon brought it as usual, and I was impressed by Tegan & Sarah's simple yet exacting pop, but less so with Vampire Weekend - I just don't care for their music.
The event was organised excellently. In contrast to the abortion that was Soundwave, the area was more than sufficient and the food and drink vendors were many and various. I hope the Canberra leg of Groovin' the Moo was popular enough to justify it returning in the future, but doesn't get popular enough to ruin it. If I want to tempt heatstroke while pushing my way against a tide of pissheads to get to the end of a long queue for a bottle of water, I'll go to a festival in Sydney.
