How many sleeps 'til Splore?
It's back! As an avid fan of all things Splore I have had to learn great patience while waiting for the next one to roll around. So to speak, "it's been a long time between drinks". But its back, its back! For those who have not been initiated into the full Splore experience, you might be a little bemused by enthusiasm. But if you have been lucky enough to be emerged in the full visual, aura and emotional spectacle of a previous Splore, you'll totally understand my excitement. From its humble beginnings to an all weekend extravaganza with several sound stages, a burlesque cabaret, and an outdoor art exhibition, Splore has become my favourite festival. Roll-on the 8th of February.Enough waxing lyrical about the bigger picture, what about the music? Who's got the best tunes this year? Personally I'm really looking forward to hearing what Epsilon Blue has to offer, I've been following the development of his musical career since the early 90's and going by the couple of songs that got radio play earlier this year I'm expecting another cracking dancefloor filler. Tiki is another local highlight for me and I've heard rumors that he's going to be filming a music video accompanied by a full spine tingling Kapa Haka contingent. And then there is the overseas talent; Benji B, Freddie Cruger, Mo'Horizons, Overproof Sound System and Pharoahe Monch ! aye caramba it's going to be wicked.
Anyhoo - The Splore blog lives here, and I'll be updating it on a regular basis as the festival looms large. Check this space to find out about such scintillating subjects as theme camps, the art trail, the living lounge and why you should bring your kids to Splore. Have you got any questions about Splore? Anything you'd like to know more about? If so, post a comment and I'll get back to 'ya on the blog.
