Parklife 2010 - chilling with Sam in the sun


• Rude! maxi dress
• Sportsgirl hat
• Sportsgirl banges
• Azalia necklace
• Country Road cardigan
• Sunnies from Globalize


It was a long weekend here in Adelaide and the sun came out on monday for Parklife 2010. It was a beautiful warm day  which was a welcome change and inspired me to wear a light cotton maxi dress with drawstrings that makes it shorter and I looked a little like a cream puff... and my Azalia necklace (which I currently seem to wear with everything) and a Sportsgirl hat.


 I saw some great sets from Groove Armada, Kele, Missy Elliot, Classixx, Chiddy Bang, Busy P and The Swiss to name a few. One act, Delorean, a spanish electro band was on my not to be missed list - but I was surprised to see a pretty poor turn out for their set. Granted, there were some epic clashes and I had to choose between them and New Young Pony Club, but they are a great band and I think they deserved a better crowd. Anyway, they put on a great set and the people who were there definitely enjoyed it!


For those of you who haven't heard Delorean I've added some tracks above to introduce you to their music. 
Enjoy!

The Swiss

The Swiss DJ mix for Studio Brussels by The Swiss







The Swiss are a band from Adelaide that have been going great guns in the last year. They just finished a whirlwind tour of Europe and the USA and are back home in Adelaide after playing a dj set at Splendour. If you're heading to any of the Parklife festivals definitely make an effort to catch their set. I've posted a dj set here and one of their EPs from SoundCloud.

Also, despite the sad news about Ou Est Le Swimming Pool's frontman, Charlie Haddon, passing away a couple of weeks ago, the band has decided to go ahead with the album release in late September (I think). I was really looking forward to catching these guys at Parklife but it was obviously not meant to be. I definitely think that these guys had a huge amount of potential and the album was going to be huge regardless, but given the circumstances I think it will get a lot more exposure. Some bittersweet success for the remaining members.

One more band plug - The Holidays. These guys are from Sydney and have been getting some exposure on Triple J and Nova apparently too. Head to their MySpace to check out some of their tracks.

Another rainy day in Adelaide - I'm actively avoiding heading back outside but am about to meet Bre to obtain some margarita mix and sombreros for our impending mexican festivities tonight - nothing like a bit of tequila to warm you up!
