Spoiler: This whole day was pretty fucking fantastic.
Sunday 5th of September – a day usually reserved for hangovers, sleeping in, and church-going (perhaps all of the above, if you’re so inclined) – was one big party, thanks to the third Hobart + Music = Yeah! festival. Although the two previous events were both day long jaunts at a single venue (firstly, the Fern Tree Community Hall and secondly, The Venue in Salamanca), H+M=Y! version three was scattered across three house venues, plus a fourth finale show at the Brisbane Hotel concluding with touring US imports Xiu Xiu.

Catching a hired 12-seater, which invariably became known as “The Party Bus”, the little-van-that-could stopped outside the first house; an inviting Sandy Bay residency that sported cute/deadly cardboard artwork by Tom O’Hern and Rob O’Connor.
