Centered between the Palais Theatre and the Prince Bandroom, All Tomorrow’s Parties, Release The Bats had St Kilda buzzing even more than usual.
Originally to be held at Altona, the festival changed venue to the Palais as the main stage and Prince Bandroom as the second stage and the boutique festival promptly sold out all 3,000 tickets. A free shuttle bus transported punters between the venues.
With Television, Lightning Bolt, The Breeders, The Scientists, Fuck Buttons, Pop Crimes tribute to the late Roland S Howard, The UV Race, Twerps, White Walls, Fuck Buttons, Hoss, Pop Crimes, Prince Rama and many more, the Festival did not disappoint.
