WHAT: Pitch Music and Arts Festival
WHERE: Mayston, Victoria, Australia
WHEN: Friday 9th March – Monday 5th, 2018
Pitch Festival is marketing their festival as a “bacchanalian” affair. Bacchus was a Roman God that inspired drunken revelry and general debauchery. In Euripide’s play, The Bacchae, the party-goers actually go rogue and commit God-knows-what in the bush.
Loose.
Here’s a few things you need to consider if you’re heading down to Pitch this weekend.
1.) A sense of humour. If someone bumps into you – be chill. We’re all there to ruin ourselves. Not others.
2.) Strong bladder. Work on it this week. No one wants piss down their leg.
3.) Portable batteries – you’ll be the most popular dude/dudette in the Grampians.
4.) Insect repellent. Mosquitoes are evolving. They’re not making that little ringing noise when they fly anymore. In other words, you’re fucked without it.
5.) Sex stuff. Don’t do a Barnaby.
6.) Ear plugs. I don’t want to sound like Uncle Lame-Ass over here but my ears are legit fucked (tinnitus) from drumming. Even if you’re not wearing them for Mount Kimbie or Ben UFO or The Black Madonna or Motor City Drum Ensemble then consider them for sleep. They’ll drown out any “bacchantes” going rogue.
7.) H20. Fucking revolutionary idea. But, seriously.
