I shortlisted PJ this round but the theme link was too tenuous.

Also bolded the acts I know and it's an embarrassing 6 Because of this though I'd be extra keen to see the festival if it was in my neck of the woods! I'd be especially keen to see Ela Minus who's been shortlisted plenty of times for rounds.

Only went a couple of years but I saw some of the best shit I ever seen there. Jorge Ben Jor, Marcos Valle, Azymuth, Springtime, Inner City, Kikagaku Moyo, Gelareh Pour, Ustad Saami. Mad stuff.

So nice going to a festival and having a hotel room too, had somewhere to dump the wife and kids while I was tripping balls lmao.

I’d had a new annual pilgrimage with old friends to Adelaide for Harvest Rock, but with that now **** up we’re discussing moving to this. It’s a solid lineup!

 

[endure]

Ustad Saami.

I’ve nominated him on a couple of occasions, maybe more, he has such an intense vocal range.

NaturalDisaster needs to change his AV before he's allowed back in.

Are you in Adelaide? There's only two places without power in the metropolitan area so that's pretty unlucky. Looks like most of the outages are in the regions, 62 outages impacting 22,000+ customers. Bloody hell! Must have been some whopper thunderstorms up north. Hope everything is ok at your place.
