Vivid Live 2011 wrap, pt 3

The final wrap from Vivid Live 2011. Includes photos from DOM, 2manydjs, Yo Gabba Gabba, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Sonny Rollins.

DOM. What to say about DOM? They came in at 17 on NME's Best New Bands of the Year list... and when they played in Australia they lived up to the anticipation. They charmed the crowd with their funny tales, and then got in amongst them.

2manydjs and Radio Soulwax
David and Stephen Dewaele hosted a program on triple j from Tuesday to Friday 6-7pm. Each night was a different theme, starting with the year the Sydney Opera House was built in 1973, then onto Italy (home of Opera and heaps more excellent music), they dedicated one night to the new sounds getting them excited and capped it all off with a look at the great music from the wide brown land of Oz.

Then, on Saturday night, they brought the party to the studio.

Yo Gabba Gabba won the hearts, minds and feet of the next generation ... and their parents!

Hypnotic Brass Ensemble sent the crowd into a frenzy.

Sonny Rollins celebrated his 80th birthday onstage at the Sydney Opera House, playing epic shows with more energy than your average 20-something musician.

And after 10 days and nights of lights, musical mayhem and amazement -- now we're out.
