St Jerome's Laneway Festival takes over the Perth Cultural Centre for its 2011 installment.

A jam packed programme of international and local acts in the intimacy of the Fowlers Live Courtyard in the Uni SA Campus.

Man was not meant for this heat. That is all I can think as I down a couple of preparatory pints at The Jubilee Hotel, before making my way over to the festival grounds. A beautiful day it is, but golly, it's hot.

Ahead of their appearance at Laneway Festival - which kicks off this weekend - I had the privilege - nay, the honour - of speaking with the legend that is Tim Harrington, the lead singer of New York rockers Les Savy Fav. He was sitting at home in New York and I was just waking up in Sydney. It is, without a doubt, the funniest interview I've ever done, and words hardly do it justice - so rather than bore you - let's get straight into it!

Civil Society & Popfrenzy are proud to present the return of the manic Les Savy Fav. Known for their original and startling live show Les Savy Fav will play just two sideshows this February in Sydney and Melbourne. Joining Les Savy Fav for these riotous evenings will be local lo fi kids the Straight Arrows.
