A Golden Batch?

Well, after months of agonising, I've finally bitten the bullet and purchased my entry ticket to the Golden Plains festival to be held at the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre on the Labour Day long weekend.

Before you rush out and go and purchase your ticket in the knowledge that you could be in the vicinity of one of the guys from ATR (OK, maybe not), you might be asking yourself who else is on the lineup. No, actually the second batch of artists hasn't been announced just yet. IMO only Yo La Tengo are a must see of the bands that are confirmed.

But if you are feeling too despondent and are seriously asking yourself if a second Meredith festival in a year is actually worth it, it might be worth making note of the news that eclectic alt country experimentalists Calexico have just announced a National tour around the start of March. (mp3: Calexico - Across the Wire), while moody intense Canadian collective (not another bloody Canadian collective some might say) The Dears have been announced on the bill of the Playground Weekender festival in Sydney (here's The Dears' myspace).

As of now these bands do not appear to be busy in the second weekend in March so hopefully we'll see them down at Nolan's farm. I'm sure there'll be several other top acts announced on the bill, but with these two as additions, it will pretty hard for many decent music loving Melburnians not to live the Meredith experience all over again.

(Give in to your temptations and buy a ticket now!)
