plus a bunch of other local bands that were awesome, and it made our Vfest at Fort Calgary look like a chumpfest. STP was ok, I've seen the hip about 400 times, and The Flaming Lips, while a little nostalgic, were average. I thought that we would be able to get better talent than what came, based on who they were getting to other cities.
Well festivals in places like Australia are a totally different thing. Bands don't tour there that often, especially to Perth, so it's not uncommon for them to be packaged together into pretty great festival cards.
