On a sweltering Saturday last week Homebake rolled round again, taking over Sydney’s Domain.

Pnau

The visual highlight was surely Nick Littlemore’s dramatic entrance for Pnau’s set.

Hoisted angelically into the rafters to sing their opening song Wild Strawberries, it was a superbly Spinal Tap moment.

Crowded House

In a hark back to 2005 when the Finn brothers headlined Homebake, Crowded House closed the evening with some sing-a-longs.

Crowded House
You Am I

You Am I were in fine form, with some strings and extra percussion accompaniment.

Gabriella Cilmi

It wasn’t really all that exciting to me, but the agency photographers were all snap happy for Gabriella Cilmi.

British India
Violent Soho

I’m glad i finally got see Violent Soho, reminding me of the nineties stoner grunge i used to listen to. Quite unique on the scene at the moment.

Bluejuice

Eddy Current

Everyone’s favourite band seems to be Eddy Current Suppression Ring. SPIN magazine too.

Dash and Will

Dash and Will were really sweet. Nice pop tunes. A more sunny and colourful Tegan and Sara. I can see them becoming rather popular. Jerry from whothehell.net is in love with them.

Lots more snaps in the Homebake photo gallery.

Apart from a couple of acts i thought the lineup of Live Earth was rather underwhelming. Crowded House were an obvious highlight and had the entire stadium in the palm of their hand. It felt a bit like a homecoming as it was in Sydney they played the supposed farewell concert 10 years ago on the Opera House steps.

Wolfmother

Being a Wolfmother tragic i also enjoyed their set, although it is getting a little tiresome seeing the same songs again and again. I look forward to them returning with something fresh.

Live Earth Sydney

Taking good pictures of the artists at an event like this is a pretty hard task. The stage is massive, so you’re quite a distance from the performers,who are obscured by floor foldback speakers. Plus there’s a camera on rails moving in front of your shots. Not to mention the 60 odd accredited photographers squeezed into the pit, making mobility nigh on impossible. So the photos are rather uninspiring.
