Harvest Festival may hold the distinction of being the only festival where the journey between the stages is almost as entertaining as the performances on the stages themselves. Wacky art sculptures, random marching bands, a tranquil lake reminiscent of Monet’s Water Lily Pond all combine to evolve what is normally a brisk walk into a wandering saunter, and to make me look a pompous, over-...

While Neck of the Woods, Silversun Pickups’ third full-length was released last May, the Los Angeles four-piece garnered another round of publicity a few weeks back. Unfortunately, it was for all the wrong reasons. “It was very simple. We started getting emails from people asking if we were fans of Mitt Romney,” says the Pickups ebullient lead singer Brian Aubert. What Aubert didn’t know is... Read More

With headliners such as Beck, Sigur Rós and Grizzly Bear, it’s no surprise that the Melbourne leg of Harvest Festival has swiftly sold out.

What a night this was shaping up to be. Two fantastic headline bands on the same bill… rarely does a double header promise so much and deliver at the same time. The Chemist are also quite excellent, but due to the absurdly early start, they were sadly sacrificed for beers. In hindsight, due to the all ages set-up, beers should have been treated with more importance and... Read More

Proving that Melbournians are still among the luckiest music fans in the world, Silversun Pickups staged their sole Australian headlining show this year at The Corner Hotel. A sigh of relief was elicited by fervent Melbourne fans (followed by disappointment for some when tickets sold out within a day – though seeing them as support act for Birds Of Tokyo was consolation for...
