Candido Apokalyps takes Eclectikpagan out for a pre-Valentine night on
the town.
10 February, Adelaide—A quarter before five and Candido who works at
an undisclosed office in the CBD clocked out and proceeded on foot to the
University of South Australia, site of the Laneway Festival, where he was to
meet up with Eclectikpagan.
The big draw of the night for
Candido was the Brooklyn-based band The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, while it
was The Drums, also from Brooklyn, for Eclectikpagan. To guide them both, a
carefully highlighted copy of the night’s line-ups was on hand. Candido arrived
right on the dot at five pm to find there was already a rather lengthy line.
With Eclectikpagan half an hour away, he decided to wait for her inside while
sussing out the place. With his ticket/wristband on, he proceeded through the
gate. Here’s an account of what followed.
