SPLENDID AND SEDUCTIVE SOUNDS
The Splendid Lounge Bar, Phunken Tipi Circle and outdoor Cinematic round up for 2004
This year’s SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS may have sold out in record time, but it just keeps getting bigger and better! With two days, two stages and almost 40 acts already announced, we’re back with the SPLENDID LOUNGE BAR line up and in a welcomed return, the PHUNKEN TIPI CIRCLE low down during Byron’s winter oasis.
Nestled amongst the smorgasbord of international restaurants, the SPLENDID LOUNGE BAR is open to all ages (patrons wishing to drink must be over 18 ) and will be decked out with a host of DJs providing a seamless mix of old skool sounds and sexy beats coupled with an eclectic energy and funky fun across the weekend. As a curtain raiser on FRIDAY 23RD of JULY the lounge and restaurants will be open from 7.00pm to midnight for ticket holders only. Spinning the platters that matter will be Brisbane’s popular FLARES.
On SATURDAY JULY 24TH the SPLENDID LOUNGE BAR sounds will be courtesy of local legends C-MOOG. After two years of hosting the most memorable gets downs in Byron Bay, C-MOOG is firmly established in the local dance scene. Calling in it’s all-star cast of DJs, get it on with a twelve hour session playing Lounge Funk and Sexy House to Hip Hop, Breaks and beyond. Line up includes DJs WALLOPOLOOZA, AUSTIN + WILLJAY, NOODLES and NOEL BOOGIE.
Sydney’s infamous DEATH DISCO crew will be at the helm of The SPLENDID LOUNGE BAR on SUNDAY JULY 25TH. Resident vibe meisters PHIL SLAG and NAT will bring a swag of DJs and special guests such as CUT COPY, TWISTED SISTERS, MAT LE ROCK, THE PRESETS (+ more!) - playing a debauched mix raw ass rock, perky pop and bleepy electro.
After a year’s hiatus, the PHUNKEN TIPI CIRCLE returns to the 2004 event. A popular hang, where punters can meet, chill out and dance together under the stars. The best local DJs will perform in the PHUNKEN TIPI CIRCLE with a line up featuring DJs K8 and TEAPOT, SCOOTER, NICK TAYLOR, SHELFLIFE, JACKIE ONASSID and more on Saturday 24TH. While C.P MILES, PIP, CHALKY, CURLY, ROCK HARDSON and STRAWBERRY SYME amongst others will do the honours on Sunday 25TH.
But wait, the Splendid entertainment doesn’t stop there. From punk gigs to posh picnics and world festival stages such as Glastonbury, Edinburgh and the Big Day Out - Splendour welcomes RUMPELSTILTSKIN, whose performances have made him a cult star. This highly original, and totally unique fool of comedy takes you on an extraordinary visual and aural extravaganza. Yule tide anyone? Christmas in July? Why the hell not.…. take the time to visit BAD MUTHA SANTA, and tell Santa what you want for Christmas (but be careful what you wish for! He is a bad mutha afterall).
International Installation artist Clint Hurrell returns having created a SPECTACLE SCULPTURE SPACE using his unique collection of monumental art works, the two Crystals Towers, the Hand of Glass, five Tetrahedrons Stars and the big top Chandelier. THE SCULPTURE SPACE will come alive at night with an awe-inspiring array of lighting and special effects to complete the mysterious esoteric atmosphere.
And finally for those who fancy taking a little cinematic break during this two day, three-night extravaganza, look no further than Splendour’s very own on site outdoor cinema. Movies will be viewed on FRIDAY, SATURDAY and SUNDAY nights. Movies will include recent releases and old favourites
