Future Music Festival in Sydney beats a day at the races, by Eva Rinaldi
The Sydney leg of the Future Music Festival had been considerably hyped up for weeks, but I'm pleased to report that for the most part the substance lived up to the hype.
The 30 or so group line up was strong, with most attending wanting to see The Chemical Brothers, Dizzy Rascal, Kesha, Pendulum and MGMT. Well, that's what our spies in high places tell us.
Approximately 55,000 fans filled up the venue, Royal Randwick Racecourse, better known for horses galloping around the track, rather than for people trotting from stage to stage, seeking out their favorite performing artists to grace Sydney. Royal Randwick had never looked so colourful, sounded so loud, or had been so dirty (by the end of the last performances).
The audio distribution was solid to good I thought and the visual effects, signage and support staff were very good. The vibe was awesome, or was that the company I was hanging out with? Quite possibly both.
I found it quite a challenging festival to photography mainly due to the sea of humanity, with the usual elbows in the ribs by other photographers replaced by masses of crowds bumping into myself and camera, but my in-house bodyguard of sorts helped keep most of the rascals at bay (pun intended).
Meeting a group of friendly police officers on horseback was a highlight for me, as was getting to exchange a few photography tips with David the professional photographer, who I think is just too good and genuinely friendly to be called a paparazzi. It was sure a nice change to be surrounded by colleagues who didn't harass me, and only wanted the best, rather than the jealous and nasty ones, but enough about that for now. Aaron from St John's Ambulance, great to meet you also, and I'm glad the emergency body count didn't keep you too busy, but I did witness one person passing out, 3 arrests, and 2 people jumping barriers (all were later caught), but out of the 60,000 or so crowd, that's not bad.
I was impressed by the eats and refreshments. Food was included in the ticket pricing, at least at where I got to hang with the VIP's, and drinks were reasonably priced. Bathroom amenities were decent, with que lines not as bad as you might expect. Security officers and police were awesome to do with, but don't tell that to the fence jumpers who got caught, some rumoured to spend the rest of the night in the clink at Randwick Police Station.
Public transport was well catered for, but there should have been more taxis frequently the area, such was the demand.
Fun level was a 9 out of 10, but I thought media access could have been a bit better catered for, since there was a bit of "cattle treatment" at the event, Mind you, I am very grateful to Future Entertainment Group for helping make this possible. Ok, my ratings out of 10 for the acts I saw...
The Chemical Brothers - 7
James Holdroyd - 9
Dizzy Rascal - 8
Stafford - 6
The Presets - 9
Art VS Science - 7
Kesha - 5
Pendulum - 9
Zane Lowe - 8
MGMT - 8
Mark Ronson & The Business International - 8
Would I do it all over again? Absolutely. It was the day Randwick rocked for real, and I can't wait to do it all over again.

They Might Be Giants free show, Rose Kennedy Greenway, Boston, 22 April 2010
Image by Chris Devers
Quoting the web site of WXRV-FM "The River":
Boston’s independent and solar-powered radio station is gearing up for a free lunch time concert in honor of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day from noon-3pm. The concert will take place on the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, a new model of dynamic outdoor space that brings Bostonians together to enjoy everything that’s great about the city. The Greenway will be transformed into a fun outdoor atmosphere that includes free music, arts and crafts and other activities.
40th anniversary of Earth Day 2010
Forty years after the first Earth Day, the world is in greater peril than ever. While climate change is the greatest challenge of our time, it also presents the greatest opportunity – an unprecedented opportunity to build a healthy, prosperous, clean energy economy now and for the future.
Citizen Cope
Citizen Cope is the name given to singer/songwriter Clarence Greenwood and his acoustic-driven band. Born in Memphis and raised in Washington, D.C., Greenwood steers the band’s soulful sound by serving as keyboardist, guitarist, lead singer, DJ, songwriter, and producer. Greenwood first broke into the music business by appearing on albums by Maryland-based Basehead and used that momentum to issue his first Citizen Cope album, Citizen Cope , in 1992. He released his fourth album, The Rainwater LP himself in 2010, staying true to his fusion of blues, folk-pop, and laidback hip-hop. “Healing Hands”, off The Rainwater LP, has fast become a fast favorite amongst new and existing fans
They Might Be Giants
Combining a knack for infectious melodies with a quirky, bizarre sense of humor and a vaguely avant-garde aesthetic borrowed from the New York post-punk underground, They Might Be Giants became one of the most unlikely alternative success stories of the late ’80s and early ’90s. Musically, the duo of John Flansburgh and John Linnell borrowed from everywhere, but their freewheeling eclecticism was enhanced by their arcane, geeky sense of humor. They would reference everything from British Invasion to Tin Pan Alley, while making allusions to pulp fiction and President Polk. Through their string of indie releases and constant touring as a duo, They Might Be Giants built up a huge following on college campuses during the late ’80s, switching to a major label in the early ’90s…The 2000’s saw them re-emerge as one of America’s most beloved family bands, and saw their songwriting embraced by Dunkin’ Donuts, Malcom in the Middle, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Future Music Festival in Sydney beats a day at the races, by Eva Rinaldi
The Sydney leg of the Future Music Festival had been considerably hyped up for weeks, but I'm pleased to report that for the most part the substance lived up to the hype.
The 30 or so group line up was strong, with most attending wanting to see The Chemical Brothers, Dizzy Rascal, Kesha, Pendulum and MGMT. Well, that's what our spies in high places tell us.
Approximately 55,000 fans filled up the venue, Royal Randwick Racecourse, better known for horses galloping around the track, rather than for people trotting from stage to stage, seeking out their favorite performing artists to grace Sydney. Royal Randwick had never looked so colourful, sounded so loud, or had been so dirty (by the end of the last performances).
The audio distribution was solid to good I thought and the visual effects, signage and support staff were very good. The vibe was awesome, or was that the company I was hanging out with? Quite possibly both.
I found it quite a challenging festival to photography mainly due to the sea of humanity, with the usual elbows in the ribs by other photographers replaced by masses of crowds bumping into myself and camera, but my in-house bodyguard of sorts helped keep most of the rascals at bay (pun intended).
Meeting a group of friendly police officers on horseback was a highlight for me, as was getting to exchange a few photography tips with David the professional photographer, who I think is just too good and genuinely friendly to be called a paparazzi. It was sure a nice change to be surrounded by colleagues who didn't harass me, and only wanted the best, rather than the jealous and nasty ones, but enough about that for now. Aaron from St John's Ambulance, great to meet you also, and I'm glad the emergency body count didn't keep you too busy, but I did witness one person passing out, 3 arrests, and 2 people jumping barriers (all were later caught), but out of the 60,000 or so crowd, that's not bad.
I was impressed by the eats and refreshments. Food was included in the ticket pricing, at least at where I got to hang with the VIP's, and drinks were reasonably priced. Bathroom amenities were decent, with que lines not as bad as you might expect. Security officers and police were awesome to do with, but don't tell that to the fence jumpers who got caught, some rumoured to spend the rest of the night in the clink at Randwick Police Station.
Public transport was well catered for, but there should have been more taxis frequently the area, such was the demand.
Fun level was a 9 out of 10, but I thought media access could have been a bit better catered for, since there was a bit of "cattle treatment" at the event, Mind you, I am very grateful to Future Entertainment Group for helping make this possible. Ok, my ratings out of 10 for the acts I saw...

Forty years after the first Earth Day, the world is in greater peril than ever. While climate change is the greatest challenge of our time, it also presents the greatest opportunity – an unprecedented opportunity to build a healthy, prosperous, clean energy economy now and for the future.
Citizen Cope
Citizen Cope is the name given to singer/songwriter Clarence Greenwood and his acoustic-driven band. Born in Memphis and raised in Washington, D.C., Greenwood steers the band’s soulful sound by serving as keyboardist, guitarist, lead singer, DJ, songwriter, and producer. Greenwood first broke into the music business by appearing on albums by Maryland-based Basehead and used that momentum to issue his first Citizen Cope album, Citizen Cope , in 1992. He released his fourth album, The Rainwater LP himself in 2010, staying true to his fusion of blues, folk-pop, and laidback hip-hop. “Healing Hands”, off The Rainwater LP, has fast become a fast favorite amongst new and existing fans
They Might Be Giants
Combining a knack for infectious melodies with a quirky, bizarre sense of humor and a vaguely avant-garde aesthetic borrowed from the New York post-punk underground, They Might Be Giants became one of the most unlikely alternative success stories of the late ’80s and early ’90s. Musically, the duo of John Flansburgh and John Linnell borrowed from everywhere, but their freewheeling eclecticism was enhanced by their arcane, geeky sense of humor. They would reference everything from British Invasion to Tin Pan Alley, while making allusions to pulp fiction and President Polk. Through their string of indie releases and constant touring as a duo, They Might Be Giants built up a huge following on college campuses during the late ’80s, switching to a major label in the early ’90s…The 2000’s saw them re-emerge as one of America’s most beloved family bands, and saw their songwriting embraced by Dunkin’ Donuts, Malcom in the Middle, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Quoting the web site of WXRV-FM "The River":
Boston’s independent and solar-powered radio station is gearing up for a free lunch time concert in honor of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day from noon-3pm. The concert will take place on the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, a new model of dynamic outdoor space that brings Bostonians together to enjoy everything that’s great about the city. The Greenway will be transformed into a fun outdoor atmosphere that includes free music, arts and crafts and other activities.

Future Music Festival in Sydney beats a day at the races, by Eva Rinaldi
The Sydney leg of the Future Music Festival had been considerably hyped up for weeks, but I'm pleased to report that for the most part the substance lived up to the hype.
The 30 or so group line up was strong, with most attending wanting to see The Chemical Brothers, Dizzy Rascal, Kesha, Pendulum and MGMT. Well, that's what our spies in high places tell us.
Approximately 55,000 fans filled up the venue, Royal Randwick Racecourse, better known for horses galloping around the track, rather than for people trotting from stage to stage, seeking out their favorite performing artists to grace Sydney. Royal Randwick had never looked so colourful, sounded so loud, or had been so dirty (by the end of the last performances).
The audio distribution was solid to good I thought and the visual effects, signage and support staff were very good. The vibe was awesome, or was that the company I was hanging out with? Quite possibly both.
I found it quite a challenging festival to photography mainly due to the sea of humanity, with the usual elbows in the ribs by other photographers replaced by masses of crowds bumping into myself and camera, but my in-house bodyguard of sorts helped keep most of the rascals at bay (pun intended).
Meeting a group of friendly police officers on horseback was a highlight for me, as was getting to exchange a few photography tips with David the professional photographer, who I think is just too good and genuinely friendly to be called a paparazzi. It was sure a nice change to be surrounded by colleagues who didn't harass me, and only wanted the best, rather than the jealous and nasty ones, but enough about that for now. Aaron from St John's Ambulance, great to meet you also, and I'm glad the emergency body count didn't keep you too busy, but I did witness one person passing out, 3 arrests, and 2 people jumping barriers (all were later caught), but out of the 60,000 or so crowd, that's not bad.
I was impressed by the eats and refreshments. Food was included in the ticket pricing, at least at where I got to hang with the VIP's, and drinks were reasonably priced. Bathroom amenities were decent, with que lines not as bad as you might expect. Security officers and police were awesome to do with, but don't tell that to the fence jumpers who got caught, some rumoured to spend the rest of the night in the clink at Randwick Police Station.
Public transport was well catered for, but there should have been more taxis frequently the area, such was the demand.
Fun level was a 9 out of 10, but I thought media access could have been a bit better catered for, since there was a bit of "cattle treatment" at the event, Mind you, I am very grateful to Future Entertainment Group for helping make this possible. Ok, my ratings out of 10 for the acts I saw...
The Chemical Brothers - 7
James Holdroyd - 9
Dizzy Rascal - 8
Stafford - 6
The Presets - 9
Art VS Science - 7
Kesha - 5
Pendulum - 9
Zane Lowe - 8
MGMT - 8
Mark Ronson & The Business International - 8
Would I do it all over again? Absolutely. It was the day Randwick rocked for real, and I can't wait to do it all over again.

Aaron from St John's Ambulance, great to meet you also, and I'm glad the emergency body count didn't keep you too busy, but I did witness one person passing out, 3 arrests, and 2 people jumping barriers (all were later caught), but out of the 60,000 or so crowd, that's not bad.
I was impressed by the eats and refreshments. Food was included in the ticket pricing, at least at where I got to hang with the VIP's, and drinks were reasonably priced. Bathroom amenities were decent, with que lines not as bad as you might expect. Security officers and police were awesome to do with, but don't tell that to the fence jumpers who got caught, some rumoured to spend the rest of the night in the clink at Randwick Police Station.
Public transport was well catered for, but there should have been more taxis frequently the area, such was the demand.
Fun level was a 9 out of 10, but I thought media access could have been a bit better catered for, since there was a bit of "cattle treatment" at the event, Mind you, I am very grateful to Future Entertainment Group for helping make this possible. Ok, my ratings out of 10 for the acts I saw...
The Chemical Brothers - 7
James Holdroyd - 9
Dizzy Rascal - 8
Stafford - 6
The Presets - 9
Art VS Science - 7
Kesha - 5
Pendulum - 9

Would I do it all over again? Absolutely. It was the day Randwick rocked for real, and I can't wait to do it all over again.

Future Music Festival in Sydney beats a day at the races, by Eva Rinaldi
The Sydney leg of the Future Music Festival had been considerably hyped up for weeks, but I'm pleased to report that for the most part the substance lived up to the hype.
The 30 or so group line up was strong, with most attending wanting to see The Chemical Brothers, Dizzy Rascal, Kesha, Pendulum and MGMT. Well, that's what our spies in high places tell us.
Approximately 55,000 fans filled up the venue, Royal Randwick Racecourse, better known for horses galloping around the track, rather than for people trotting from stage to stage, seeking out their favorite performing artists to grace Sydney. Royal Randwick had never looked so colourful, sounded so loud, or had been so dirty (by the end of the last performances).
The audio distribution was solid to good I thought and the visual effects, signage and support staff were very good. The vibe was awesome, or was that the company I was hanging out with? Quite possibly both.
I found it quite a challenging festival to photography mainly due to the sea of humanity, with the usual elbows in the ribs by other photographers replaced by masses of crowds bumping into myself and camera, but my in-house bodyguard of sorts helped keep most of the rascals at bay (pun intended).
