Trial By GIF: Homebake 2011

As part of a new series, MAX EASTON comprehensively reviews Homebake’s return to The Domain in Sydney last Saturday (December 3) using nothing but animated gifs. Full report soon.

Following a year off due to poor planetary alignment, the annual (aside from last year) all-Australian (except for a handful of Kiwis and an English expat) music festival, Homebake, returned to Sydney’s The Domain for its 14th iteration. Billed as “the classic edition”, 2011's Homebake held much promise, namely being able to hear the Australian classics 'Wide Open Road,' 'Great Southern Land,' 'Under The Milky Way' and 'Somebody That I Used To Know' all in one location.
