Soundwave

Everyone's been telling us we came to Adelaide at the right time, and so far it's been true. On Saturday we went to Soundwave, a huge music festival with 6 stages and a ton of bands from all around the world.



Even more drunken redneck teenagers showed up here than the Fringe! Can't wait to see what the Clipsal will be like.


Paramore was great, and Placebo followed them:


They did an awesome performance, but people went crazy for AFI:



The crowd was wild. Drunk people jumping everywhere and dirt, smoke, and dust getting all over. It was crazy but fun.



Then Jane's Addiction and Anthrax were playing as well. Celebrities all over the place!


Jimmy Eat World did an awesome show, and to top off the night, none other than Faith No More. They were epic!



Insane! When we left, there was a sea of hundreds of thousands of people walking down North Terrace, which closed a whole lane because of it.


Blurry picture, but you can see the craziness. So many drunk kids! I have to say that one of the only problems I have with this country is that the drinking age is 18. Much like in Canada, you get stupid kids acting even stupider even sooner.


^ A skateboard park on North Terrace on our way home that actually had more razor scooters than anything else. One 12 year old kid was about to beat me up for laughing at him. The attitude here is very British street punk with a large amount of the kids/teenagers. This dude reminded me of the co-star in Son of Rambow. Scenesters and rednecks make up the majority of the Adelaide population.




^ Surprisingly these are all projections onto the same building. The historic strip on North Terrace has become part of an art exhibition for the next week or two.


Random pix of cool places around town:



I'm starting work tomorrow so this will probably be the last post in a while. We met a few people over the weekend who told us about how cool Tasmania is, despite what we'd heard on recent documentary, so that's definitely on our list of places to go during our stay here. New Zealand will probably happen at the end of the 6 months so we can have more time to explore. Ok more to come soon. Peace from the future!
