Relic from '09: LIFE: This Is Tres Cool.

NOTE: RELIC POST
So winding down the 09, springing up in the big 10, We here at TVITC have had a rollercoaster ride ripped in our musical conciseness as we won big. And ladies and gentlemen, we mean B-I-G. A fitting end to our past 12 months, and an even more surreal gateway to our future 12.

Winning Fuzzy's Festival competition, we had VIP access to Shore Thing and Field Day. For Sydneysiders its a double-headed, back to back where some people can barely make one, let alone both depending on their respective incapacitation.

We braved it though, expenses paid accommodation and transfers, it was living it like all the artists we oggle over on the interweb weekly. We had as much fun as possiblex10 (paying homage to our memory of it) even kicking on NYE/D at the Goddamn good vibes of Sydney's best dancteria GoodGodSmallClub for all its vibing magic .

The real treat in all of this, not even on NYE but during NYD, was the moment we were granted backstage access at Field Day, entering the disco den of LCD Soundsystem's set. It was pure DFA, as the groove tranced us to a comforting level, taking in the experience of 'behind the veil' so to speak. Photos were snapped, Ollie met a Dewaele Brother...

...and Juan (of The Juan MacLean was grabbing ice cream). I was even more privileged as I caught up with Knightlife (Cutters Records Stalwart) and got the down low on the happenings in his world, gaining some invaluable info for my Cutters Records post ('Coming Soon' now for the last 2 months, hang in there) and overall just hearing of his appreciation and experiences of festivals.

The Disco vibes worked overtime and were flowing side by side the champagne and soon the sun set low, and so did the lights. We left backstage to catch the end of LCD, gleaming infront of the crowd, a 24 hours not easily forgot.
