Stereolab @ Melbourne Zoo

It's has been a long time waiting to finally getting a chance to see Stereolab live on stage. The last time they were here they played no headline show, as they were a part of the 2009 St Jerome's Laneway Festival and Golden Plains lineup. 

It was heavenly bliss watching these fine musicians pump out their eclectic extended beats on their classic songs, such as Ping Pong, Lo Boob Oscillator and French Disko.

Lætitia Sadier was in fine form singing and the crowd adored the show. In fact most Zoo shows that I have photographed in the past, everybody just sits down on the grass and watches the show. Tonight, everybody stood up for the whole mermerising performance by Stereolab.

I joked with some fans up front, that the last time I saw everybody standing up for a show here at The Zoo, it was Eddy Current Suppression Ring back in 2009. That night the crowd went totally nuts, so I said to a couple of fans that I was expecting a circle pit happening tonight. I didn't get the circle pit or any moshing tonight but I was in total awe watching some exquisitely fine musicians, who have honed their craft.
