Sounds Like: Hello '09. We hope you had as much fun as we did welcoming it in. The fests have wrapped for '08 - from where we stood, it was magic. Y'all were the perfect guests on the Lorne & Marion Bay farms, it truly was a pleasure havin' you. When the sun doth shone, it shone on you. Not that the rain wasn't welcome; the earth was thankful, even if our tents were not.We saw you shimmy along with Eli 'Paperboy' Reed and Sharon Jones; rock-out to Franz, The Hives, Tame Impala and Wolf & Cub; bop to the Kooks, Mystery Jets and Blue King Brown; be mesmerised by Lykke Li, Fleet Foxes and Soko; and dance like it was 1999 with Santogold, The Grates, Architecture in Helsinki and Jamie Lidell.And now, roll on 2009. As we begin to plot and plan for this years festivities, the photos from the 2008 event will begin to appear in the gallery from Monday 12th of January. Have a peek. You may just see yourself there.In closing, for now, we'd like to express our sympathy for those of you that were held-up by police breath testing when leaving the Marion Bay festival on January 1st. We were frustrated and angry to have our patrons so impacted by the manner in which it was conducted and to have our event logistics taken completely out of our hands. We are currently working with all relevant stakeholders including the Tasmanian Government to ensure nothing like this ever happens again. We'll keep you posted.
