Flea’s bass is going absolutely mental on “By The Way”. You just can’t appreciate his technique until you see it live. He’s just a blur.

– Mike

Another sing along with Californication. Crowd get swaying with this tune.

Video Interview – Every Time I Die

http://youtu.be/ns_VmZFX4WU

The time tested greatness of OFF! Is unveiling before our eyes on the Green Stage. Someone clearly forgot to tell these guys their age as they rock out with more energy than those half their age. Watch and learn modes This is real punk rock.

PHOTOS: Childish Gambino

Holy shit, have you seen Childish Gambino live before? Well…I know most people haven’t but this is something you have to add to your buck list. You know the violins and drums you hear in his tracks? They’re live with him on stage. Same with the guitar. Gambino recreates his tracks in a note for note manner in a live setting and the dudes natural showmanship and obvious excitment ooze through the speakers. There is a certain je ne sais quoi about Donald Glover that you have to see to understand. Life made.

The outrageous heat is so much mote bearable when your watching Against Me. Compressor Head wrapped up their set type thing then bam ‘hello, Sydney’, and shit got awesome. Very quickly. Laura Jane Grace sure has a thing for hitting her mouth on mics!

– Mike

A little cloud cover offers some mercy as Delta Spirit rule the Green Stage. Feeds will be chatting with the band backstage at BDO when the weather’s more civilised…

– Marc

PHOTOS – Hunting Grounds

Playing the Vans Essential stage, Hunting Grounds seemed to have drawn the biggest crowd of the day, whether that be because of the impact of the bands debut album In Hindsight, or to escape the sun – probably a mix of both but hey, everyone’s loving the ambient vibe of Hunting Grounds genre hopping sensibilities.

Every time I die. The Cadillac’s of southern hardcore and absolute showmen. They ain’t gonna let no heatwave ruin their good time, they were wearing jackets for frying out loud! These guys are animals, throwing guitars around like no bodies business, this is the show to be at right now at BDO Sydney.

– Mike

Deep Sea Arcade has some bodies groovin despite the intense heat.

– Marc

Melbourne boys ME are now officially on stage. The huge wall of guitar sound and impossible vocals are a dead giveaway, as is the massive backdrop behind them. As the crowd huddle to make the most of what little shade there is, the band unleashing. 400 points to the frontman for getting that guitar plugged in in time, that was a close one!

P.S dead set saw someone wearing a beanie. That’s ballsy.

PHOTOS: House VS. Hurricane

House Vs Hurricane’s loyal followers stood stoically at the foot of Orange stage, difant of the elements, determined to get a good spot for the show. And at the stoke of 12, the band took to the stage, guitars in hand and the pit was officially open. I’m sweating just watching these kids throwing down, surely getting burnt but HvH are too good to look away.
