I had so much fun at the Big Day Out. Violent Femmes were easily my favourite for the day. The day started at frankston train station when matt, barker, dolan, faz and myself met up to catch the 7:45 train to the city. We arrived at the rapidly growing BDO line at approximately 9:30 and got let in at 10:20. Dolan bought a JET t-shirt, Barker got a Killers one and Faz also got a Killers one. The first act on our list was “the incredible beatbox band”which I must say werent as incredible as they said, but this is coming from someone who likes country music. After them, we saw Bob Evans. He was great. The harmonica sounded amazing. When he finished, the guys went to get food, and I didnt see, so I stuck with Dean and his gang for Dan Kelly, who was excellent. I found the group again at the ferris wheel, and also found Buatti.

I attempted calling, but with all the high voltage rock, I couldnt hear a word he said. So Me and Dolan thought itd be best to get an early position for the killers, so we could be fairly close to the front. Unfortunately for us, many other people thought the same thing, and we got about 30 metres form the stage. When Eskimo Joe finished we were about 20 metres from the stage. When John Butler Trio finished we were about 15 metres away. Then The Killers came out and the amount of screaming could be converted into a powerful form of energy. The rocked to joint with Bones. After the Killers, came JET, who I didnt get a good view of, sounded sensational as usual. By this point Dolan and myself were about 10 metres from the stage with Muse set to come out in 5 minutes. I was pumped. I hadnt heard a lot of Muse, but was keen to hear them, as Id been told by many that
