Sometimes I want to disappear...into a mosh 

I have a little addiction. Like any addiction it empties my bank accounts, keeps me up at night and depletes my body's sustenance. Luckily it isn't heroin! But my drug of choice is music.

Last year I went to my local music venue of unsigned artists religiously every week, sometimes several times in each week. I will say entry fees, drink prices and long taxi's nearly bankrupted me. But it was my vice and to be honest still is. 

Most of my Ipod stars I have seen live. I can't compare anything to the thrill of pushing through a crowd to get up and close to your favourite artists, holding your spot and surviving sweating half your body's weight in fluid. 

So far I have seen;

The Wombats (twice)

Arctic Monkeys

The Drums

The Vaccines 

Grouplove

Kimbra

Cage the Elephant

Foster the People

Kasabian 

Ball Park Music 

Best Coast

Bleeding Knees Club 

Boy and Bear

The Ciarsos

Chicks who Love Guns

Colourfide

Diamants

Dune Rats

The Honey Month 

The Jezabels 

Little Mind

Millions 

Moderns 

Oceanics 

The Ottomans 

Pirates Alive 

Step Panther 

and quite a few more! 

I have quite a long list more I want to see and will no doubt spend stupidly large amounts of money to do so. In January I even went on a trip to Sydney with friends just to see the Drums (^^^). Over a grand just for a beloved band. See it is like heroin. Needless to say I had a lot of fun doing so. 

Above is The Vaccines playing at Big Day Out this year, my first festival. It has started a need for festivals that I don't think can be stopped. Come this summer I will attend every I can manage! 

And this picture was taking in the most marvellous mosh I have ever been in. The Arctic Monkeys at Riverstage, a beautiful memory I will hold onto forever. Not only did I brave a pushy male dominated mosh for over 6 hours but I made it to the front. The music bounded through my lungs like a new and cosmic heart beat. When it was over I was sad, like a drug come down. The weeks proceeding were like withdrawals and I will one day see them again and dance and sing like the World will end tomorrow.
