Laneway Festival playing times are out. On one hand, I’m a bit bummed that I’m playing at the same time as Daniel Johnston. On the otherhand, I’M IN THE SAME FUCKING TIMESLOT AS DANIEL JOHNSTON! Even better, I’m programmed between  kinda great indie-dance band Hockey and kinda amazing afro-disco kids The Very Best, who would have been the highlight of my festival anyway but who I will now be able to grunt at uncomfortably by way of greeting as their crew tries to set their gear up as I pack down.

This show is going to be a lot of fun, and very different from my Disco Bunker show at The Astor on the 27th, so if you’re at Laneway and in the mood for some of my kind of schtick, it’d be great to see you.

Personally, I’m also excited about seeing Florence & The Machine and NASA, though reports of the latters’ set at Shape last year were that it was the kind of DJ show where they didn’t look like they were actually doing anything. My tip for secret surprise though is Radioclit, whose remixes have been consistently interesting since they started, even notwithstanding the party-starting joy of their recent African cultural imperialist direction. So I may just hang around the TAFE stage drinking my rider and dancing awkwardly after my set, actually.

Make sure you get down early to catch Voltaire Twins and Boys! Boys! Boys! - the latter’s set at Southbound was the highlight of my bandwatching there. They are getting to be world-beatingly good. Both are great acts and proof of the boom in awesome discopartymusic happening in the city at the moment.

Anyway, Laneway is going to be excellent. Do come.
