Sound Summit 2011 - VIDEOS

A few weeks ago I went to Newcastle for a few days as part of This Is Not Art / National Young Writer's Festival. If you want to know how the Writing festival went, go and read the numerous blogs other cool people posted or just ask me. I found some time while wearing my Writer's wig to head across to Sound Summit festival on the other side of town and I filmed a few of the bands. Now separate from the rest of the This Is Not Art festival umbrella, Sound Summit has grown into its own dedicated entity. Sound Summit 2011 is a little bigger than last year, but its distance from the rest of the long-weekend Newcastle art community (among other reasons) meant the attendance was a little underwhelming. I only made it tow three gigs and no panels/other events, mind you. The venues were all well-organised and within walking distance of each other, etc, etc.

Here's some footage of Australian bands. I saw and filmed a few other bands but most of that footage sucks even worse. Guerre was beautiful and Kitchen's Floor were awesome (if a little detached from the audience) and Iowa's Wet Hair lived up to my expectations. For what its worth I adore this Fabulous Diamonds song below.
