This Year’s Meredith Line Up Has Been Announced

Ahhh, the Meredith Music Festival, or as it’s known to regular attendees – Merry Death. I’ve only been once, but I had an absolute ball (and sustained some mysterious injuries, accidentally wee’d on a guy who looked like Jesus, etc), and I’ve been waiting to hear what the line up for this year’s festival will be so I can decide whether or not I can face several days of dusty and/or muddy mayhem when December rolls around.

So just who will be entertaining us at Meredith?

Let’s copy and paste from the press release take a look, shall we?

TEN EAST. HOLY FUCK. MGMT. SAUL WILLIAMS. TAME IMPALA. MAN MAN. MOUNTAIN GOATS. BEACHES. THE BRONX. GRAND SALVO. FINAL FANTASY. MUSCLES. LITTLE RED. BLACK DIAMOND HEAVIES. THE RUBY SUNS. YACHT CLUB DJS. ARCHITECTURE IN HELSINKI. REGURGITATOR. THE DATSUNS. COMBO LA REVELACION. ADAM GREEN.

I’m excited about MGMT, have a great affection for the lads from Little Red (guess which member I saw get a tongue raping from a sexy birthday girl at Pony around 5am on Saturday morning, huh? GOD LOVE YOU, YOUNG MAN), loved the movie Beaches, and fucking loathe the Moldy Peaches, although Adam Green’s solo work hasn’t made me punchy yet.

There are more acts to be announced, but as it is I’m happy enough to consider packing a tent and heading bush for a few days of madness. Generally (and appropriately) I tend to get a bit “festive” at festivals, and always end up missing at least a few of the great bands I desperately wanted to see due to forgetfulness, so the fact I only really want to see a couple of bands in the line up actually works quite nicely for me. If I only have two or three commitments, I’m more likely to have a 100% success rate with my dance card endeavours.

DOES THAT EVEN MAKE SENSE? I really need a coffee.
