I Avoided FOMO & Went to BIGSOUND

H'okay so, Bigsound is over, I'm v sleep deprived but in order to stay relevant like a good blogger would, I am going to post about the things I saw, heard, and learnt at this year's showcase ASAP, I'm clearly very professional. So here is my lil overview of the last couple of days.

Lucky for me, this conference takes place in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane so Bigsound was a geographical win for me. There was so much going on everywhere, so many important people, so many talented people and so many well-dressed people, you would totally be forgiven for feeling slightly intimidated.

Oh so you say you want highlights? I got plenty, I will even put them in beautiful dot point form.

• GRRL PAL should probs be invited to do a Like A Version after their SBTRKT cover and also as a prize for their outstanding participation at the day 1 after party 

• Porsches had sweet matching Adidas tracksuits and invited pals onstage during Horses 

• The contrast between Ella Thompson's talking voice & singing voice (idk which I love more tbh)

• Crowd participation during all the yung MC's set's (Gill Bates, Baro, Milwaukee Banks) 

• Dorsal Fins sinking VB tinnies and having a great time with 9 ppl on stage 

• Sui Zhen's whole thang

• JOY. + full band is tight. Big ups to the sax player who started learning less than a month ago! 

• Joyride hype-maning the Brocase at TBC 

• The Flying Cock becoming home base in the afternoons for hangs and mingles 

• Seeing artists showing support for each other in the crowd was a beautiful thing :) 

Living Bigsound 2015 for 2 days was like living inside of an inspirational speech. The standard and versatility of Australian music right now blows my damn mind. I would 10/10 highly recommend attending next year if you like meeting people who like what you like and you enjoy a phat multi-venue party with all kinds of cool people.

I'm gonna nap now and this time, i'm not going to be woken up by v loud 4am Spongebob playing in the room next to me, just gonna dream of all the dreamy showcases <3

Love from Kritty, xxx
