BLUES FESTIVAL

The party already began in the shuttle bus to the festival area and I met some guys from New Jersey while we drove for about 20 minutes through the beautiful landscape. As we arrived, you had to pass 3 checkpoints. The first one to check your ticket, the second to check your bag and the last one was a gate with some policemen with dogs to check if you wanna smuggle in some illegal substances, you know… (Doubtless, I could pass all three gates smoothly, but the Jersey guys got stucked at the last gate.. but finally they got in as well).

Then I entirely arrived at the festival zone. They had all the same shops like at the market last Sunday. I found a merchandise shop, which sold CD’s from the playing artist as well as CD’s from other artists and I bought 5 CD’s for 5 bugs ($) and I’m really exciting if they are good. Anyhow, the covers are very cheeky (I like this word haha). But one beer was more expensive than my 5 CDs! The cheapest beer was 7 bugs.

The stages were covered with huge tents, so the whole crowd was also covered under the tent! And a lot of elder people were sitting in their camping chairs and listening to Ziggi Marleys smooth beats. I was really surprised of the whole organisation of the festival.

And my personal highlight was when My Morning Jacket began to play my song. And as the bass began to boom I was freaking out!. I’ve never ever heard such a f*** bassline. The first seconds, I couldn’t breathe anymore.

But Tomebone Shorty was awesom as well..Tombone Shorty - Suburbia !

Byron Market

Once a month there is a big market in Byron Bay with a lot of freaky people from every where.

Schaufenster mit Spieglung

I GOT A TICKET! .:BLUES FESTIVAL BYRON BAY:.

Lustig, denn als ich noch in der Schweiz wiedermal einen guten Song entdeckte (Victory Dance von My Morning Jacket) stiess ich nur wenige Tage später auf die Platte dieser Band. Natürlich kaufte ich sie und wie es der Zufall will, spielen genau die auch am Blues Festival in Byron Bay! Wie geil is'n dass!

Und jetzt gehts nur noch wenige Stunden bis ich Ziggy Marley, My Morning Jacket, Trombone Shorty, Cold Chisel und viele andere Bands sehe! Eine gute Wiedergutmachung für die Open-airs die ich verpassen werde..
