King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard were a very anticipated headliner for night 2. The Melbourne sextet packed the venue and delivered a versatile, entertaining set. Their most hardcore fans were very young and were situated up-front from the moment the doors opened.

The Portland-based guitarist Marisa Anderson enraptured the audience through a mood-changing atmosphere that beautifully reexamined American music.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor was the end of the night for me on day two. The Canadian post-punk band played a loud, devastating set with very dim lighting and minimal projections behind them. Nothing flashy, but a scenic and heartfelt documentation of their political existence and a performance that never lacked emotional impact or implicit idiosyncrasies. Theirs is not an easy presentation to photograph, but it was a quite meaningful opportunity to soak up the doom (and hope).

We’re having a hard time finding official Godspeed You! Black Emperor social media accounts. If you have any good leads on sites we should link to, drop them in the comments and we’ll add them!
