In June, we packed our bags to go on a holiday to Tasmania.<\/span> It was the first holiday I’ve had in quite some time.<\/p>\n

The idea came from Twitter, actually. I had heard that Antony and the Johnsons were playing in Hobart.<\/p>\n

They are a quiet, intimate band; not the kind of thing you see at a regular mud ‘n’ guts festival. They\u00a0hardly ever tour, and (as far as I know) had never come to Brisbane.<\/p>\n

So naturally, I bought tickets first, like an\u00a0impulsive child, and only then worked out why\u00a0they were playing in\u00a0Tassie.<\/p>\n

Turns out, it was for a thing called Dark Mofo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dark Mofo is a festival run by Mona<\/a>, the Museum of Old and New Art. We’ve written about Mona before<\/a>, because they do some incredible work with iPods in their museum.<\/p>\n

I read that piece and thought “there’s an interesting place I have to get to at some point.” Then I forgot about it.<\/p>\n

Dark Mofo reminded me.<\/p>\n

So, what the hell is Dark Mofo? Well, for about ten days, Hobart (and other bits of Tassie) host events, public art displays, music, film, feasts and parties with a gothic, dark, kinda vibe.<\/p>\n

It’s ostensibly a license for Hobart –a city that strikes me as incredibly generous and nice– to cast off the button-down image and just get a bit fucking weird for about a week and a half.<\/p>\n
