My friend Stephenie has been visiting from Sydney this weekend. We've been doing the cafe and bar scene in St Kilda, and the shopping and clubbing thing on Chapel St. On Sunday we joined Melbourne's party crowd (around 15,000 people) for Vibes on a Summers Day at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Seeing acts like Groove Armada and Jamiroquai live was absolutely spectacular - Jay Kay really gets the crowd involved, jumping around the stage to the music, and generally being that extra bit quirky (I'm certain he'd had more than the daily maximum dosage of 5 Red Bulls).
Top marks to some of the DJs who also featured on the day. We especially enjoyed dancing to a set from Ekki Eletrico ("funky breaks with a latin flavour"), and Norman Jay's sets between the main acts were also diverse and downright groovy. After 8 hours at Vibes, and another 4 at Frost Bites last night, I'm ready for bed.
