VFestival Perth style
- Jun 25, 2008
So how did Perth handle this year's VFestival? They took it by the teeth, shook it like a rag doll, spat it out, danced round it, set it alight and worshipped it. All this in one park in the middle of the city. No expanse of green fields, no showground stadiums - just one big park, three stages in cosy and convenient proximity and a full and pumping Virgin Mobile Venue tent (on a parr with Sydney's impressive standard I reckon) with a little Duran Duran, Smashing Pumpkins, Queens Of The Stone Age, Presets, Cut Copy, Roisin Murphy, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Modest Mouse and more thrown in to the lethal mix. This was my first time in this part of Australia so excuse me if I look a little overwhelmed - I thought it was quiet and deserted on the West coast? I needed a few bourbon and cokes to get me up to speed (did I mention that before? Bourbon? Coke? In a can? Genius! I think that makes me an Australian chav) but still you crazy Perth guys left this seasoned festival go-er looking a little wide-eyed and innocent. Check out the first in a series of VFestival Perth video clips, you'll get the drift...
