Parklife: line-up announced!

I'm very happy to announce that the Parklife 2011 line-up has been released - and what a line-up it is.

Locked in for the event are Adrian Lux, Diplo, Digitalism, Duck Sauce, Example, Gossip, Katy B, MSTRKRFT, Mylo, Santigold, Simian Mobile Disco, Aston Shuffle, The Naked & Famous and Wolfgang Gartner. I should mention that this is just the list of artists that I'm excited about!

The event will be held on the below dates and locations:

September 24 : Melbourne (Sidney Myer Music Bowl)
September 25 : Perth         (Wellington Square)
October 01     : Brisbane    (Riverstage & Botanic Gardens)
October 02     : Sydney      (Moore Park)
October 03     : Adelaide    (Botanic Park)

So the big question is... am I too old to be bouncing 'round a music festival with a bunch of teenagers and 20-somethings???

How did I miss The Naked and Famous?

The Naked and Famous are an indie pop/rock band who originate from Auckland, New Zealand.

Triple J listeners will be familiar with the tracks Young Blood and Punching in a Dream, both released in 2010, and both of which made the Triple J Hottest 100 for 2010.

Their debut album, Passive Me, Aggressive You, was released late last year, giving the guys a #1 album in their homeland and a top 40 album here in Australia.

So, knowing all of that - how did I miss these guys? I love their sound (it reminds me a little of MGMT Oracular Spectacular era) and their feel (raw, fresh and very catchy). Young Blood, which was originally released in June last year, is finally getting some decent airplay and is racing up the Australian charts as we speak.

I've just got my hands on their album - and so far, I like I lot. Check out Young Blood below... it's a great preview to the album, which I think, is going to get some decent spins on my iTunes.
