What a great weekend!
Having never gone to a music festival I was interested as to what it would be like. Who would I get to see? Would the bands sound as good live? Would the other children like me? just like kindergarten really.
First up on Friday I saw Guster(above), a band that Kristen really wanted to go see and I was interested too as I had quite liked what I had heard from rides in my brother's car. They didn't dissapoint, in fact they were really good and played all my favourites(of which I had heard none). Honestly they were a real surprise and I'm glad I got to see them.
On Saturday afternoon it was 3 pretty big acts that I got to go see. The Shins(above), The Raconteurs and Massive Attack. The Shins ruled, yes, very much so, and even played a song titled Australia, which I cheered for a little more than everyone else. Highlight of the set was probably Kissing the Lipless, much more rocky live than on the album.
The Raconteurs were pretty good and had me rocking along through most of their set.
Massive Attack on the other hand were fairly chilled out and were well worth sticking around for.
Me and Kris before The Shins
On Sunday I was able to see Ween(OK), The new Pornographers(kinda crap), Ben Harper(fanbloodytastic) and Muse(AWESOME).
I was really only there for Ben Harper and Muse and both acts lived up to my expectations. Ben Harper went absolutely ballistic on his guitar as did the rest of his band on there respective instruments. And Lance Armstrong(above) introduced them. Cool.
Muse were a great way to end the festival. They played a fair bit of new stuff which I didn't know but even so they kicked arse. Stockholm Syndrome was so, so ,so good and Hysteria was what really got the party started.
So the Festival was good times for all, and being totally unrelated I thought I would show you the fantastic sandal tan I managed to acquire while in Europe. It's gone now but I'll always have the evidence. Enjoy.
Now some of you may be wondering "did Nathan take photo's of himself rocking out to Rise Against just to put on his weblog?". To that I say it's my blog and I can do what I want, even if it is moronic and selfindulgent.

Sigh, technology continues to enrich our lives on a daily basis, from all over the world... Through blogs and photos posted on the world wide web, via the glorious communication tool we like to call 'the internet', we are given the chance to view another amazing tool... like the one we like to call 'nathan'... :)
