Sat 6 Mar – Golden Plains
Sat Mar 6
Voted Australia's best music festival, the Meredith, Victoria-based Golden Plains welcomes us with (temporarily) sunny weather; having arrived to the scenic area, we set up camp among the bushland and head to the main festival space.
Looking textbook-nerdy on the Supernat stage, Melbourne’s Crayon Fields entertain the crowd with twee indie-pop. Next, old-school R&B revivalists Clairy Baby Browne And The Banging Rackettes go down a treat at the start, but their energy plateaus afterwards – something the hairy, sweaty Monotonix could never be accused of. Being passed around the standing area, the half-naked Israeli trio play their entire set among fiercely moshing punters, hammering out primal garage rock with the Iggy & The Stooges-like abandon and prompting the security to issue a safety warning.
The crowd visibly grows by the time Londoners The Big Pink rattle the already drizzly atmosphere with their loud shoegaze-pop, culminating with Velvet and Triple J fave Dominos.
