edit: The Vines set at Splendour did go off! According to forumer mary_jane, a friend texted her to say...

okay, the crowd was apparently going mental and moshing and jumping and screaming. Eveyrone was apparently so excited when they came on. Nobody boo'ed them... Craig smashed the guitar and drum kit at the end. And from what she remembers it was similar to the annandale ... FTW last, Get Free, Outtathaway, Vision Valley... and yeh.

Awesome news, eh?

Robbie with Triple J then interviewed Hamish, Ryan and Craig after they played their 45-minute set. Lizzy ripped the interview and you can download it to hear for yourself.

Vines Interview at Splendour



Here's the transcript posted by allie:

Hamish: Check one. It works
Robbie: We are backst..
Hamish: If you're very close
Robbie backstage again and the voice that you hear there is Hamish from The Vines. Ryan and Craig are with us this afternoon and I can say that we were witness to an extraordinary gig. These guys took to the stage in front of about 8,000 people just a few minutes back and completely tore the place apart. It was an amazing thing to see, and considering these guys haven't played a public gig in over 18 months, in a long time, ah I imagine it was a pretty extraordinary thing to feel like onstage. How were you feeling before the gig Craig? Because you haven't played any public shows since the Annandale, umm what were you feeling like before you hit it?
Craig: Umm we were feeling pretty anxious, ahh wanting to get up there and umm once we got up there it was great.
Robbie: You certainly chose a very small gig to make your return, only about 8000 people..
Craig: Yeah I know, it's pretty small (laughs).
Hamish: We actually played a little Annandale gig on Wednesday night.
Robbie: Oh the return?
Hamish: That was the umm..
Ryan: This is our team leader speaking by the way, Hamish Rosser.
Hamish: Unofficial team leader.
Other presenter: Um you did a secret gig did you guys?
Hamish: We did a secret gig, umm yes. Under the name of Joe Dirt, and it was at the Annandale in their smaller room, probably 150 people. So that was our triumphant comeback, today was just the icing on the cake.
Robbie: And how does it feel to be back on stage Craig?
Craig: It feels great to be back on stage.
Robbie: You looked like you were loving it, I noticed that umm towards the end, just before Get Free, Andy Kelly your manager rushed on stage to talk to you guys as a band, what was he saying to you?
Craig: Ooh we had to cut a song out.
Robbie: Right.. so you could have stayed there a long time?
Craig: Yeah we could have.
Robbie: (laughs) What's been the hardest thing about the last 18 months for you?
Craig: Not playing I think
Robbie: Is it?
Craig: Yeah, yeah.
Robbie: Was it a confidence thing? What was the deal?
Craig: Ooh we just needed to take some time out, and ummm we did another album and ummm we've been rehursing so.. it took a while, but now we're ready to start again.
Robbie: Yeah, and how did it feel walking out there on stage, for, you know, the first proper gig in such a long time?
Craig: It was amazing, yeah, great feeling.
Robbie: Was it?
Craig: Yeah
Robbie: Is it a bit like riding a bicycle?
Craig: Yep, you don't forget that so..
Robbie: It's quite an awesome bicycle as well. I did notice actually, Snow Patrol have just hit the stage umm, and they actually dedicated their set to you guys
Craig: Really? Wow, that's amazing.
Robbie: Yeah, a lot of emotions around Splendour in the Grass this afternoon , these guys obviously making a triumphant return. Does it mean that after today that we're going to be actually seeing some more gigs from you guys?
Craig: Yes! Yes! That's what it means!
Hamish: We're back.
Robbie: Is it?
Hamish: It's official
Robbie: It is official ladies and gentlemen, The Vines are back.
Hamish: We have a new bass player and we are ready to do it.
Other presenter: Are they available for weddings? Ahh I just know there's a big wedding going down in Bangalore...
Ryan: Who's that?
Chris: Our hired help Mr Armenor, his daughter is having a massive wedding in Bangalore in September, can you guys play it?
Ryan: Where are you?
Chris: Can you play under the name Joe Dirt, it's really cut through now. Has the new umm..
Hamish: Our actual repeteure of covers are Brown Eyed Girl, Sweet Home Alabama, Play That Funky Music, the list goes on and on.
Ryan: That was Hamish Rosser again by the way
Chris: The beautiful Hamish Rosser, who funnily enough I went to university with.
Hamish: We did indeed, how you doing Chris?
Chris: I'm not too bad at all
Robbie: Do you guys want to take this outside for a little while while we continue this interview?
Ryan: Oh we'll be taking this outside, don't worry about that.
Chris: Hamish, I've always thought it was about time you cut loose from the other guys. I know Thom York's put a solo album out, I'm waiting for the Phil Selway solo record, the drummer from Radiohead, maybe the two of you could get together? There should be more solo drumming records.
Chris: Aren't solo drummers albums always a treat?
Robbie: They are extraordinary
Chrs: They got a bad name because Darryl Summers put one out, that set the cause back about 20 years, I think Hamish, if you got one out I'd be back on board.
Hamish: Yeah well, living up to the expectations of people like Phil Collins...
Ryan: Don't listen to him man, he's full of shit.
Craig: He's on acid.
Robbie: These guys, as you can understand are umm, are fairly excited after such an emotional and extraordinary day. I must mention also that Craig did get a little bit emotional with his guitar this afternoon, and it is now in about 45 different peices, uhh as is Hamish's drumkit.
Hamish: Good news is, it wasn't my drum kit, it was the rental Backline so uhh
Robbie: Ahh sucked in, it's all over.
Chris: I always wish that artists such as Joanna Newson could take a leaf from The Vines and just trash their harp at the end of their gig.
Robbie: That harp, it's got it coming to it, hasn't it?
Other presenter: So a triumphant return to the stage but now they don't have any more instruments, so that was the return of The Vines, and in another 18 months time to save for some more instruments, we'll see them back again.
Robbie: Thanks guys.
Chris: Thank you so much, I'm so pleased to hear it rocked for them and that ahh it was a huge triumph. Why don't we hear something from the latest record, this is F-Yeh, by The Vines on Triple J.
Craig: Thank you
