Freshly Plucked Festival 2009

 Magic Dirt & The Fumes are amongst many heading to Orange this saturday for the annual Freshly Plucked Festival.

 In case you've never heard of the place, Orange is a town 4 hours west of Sydney and has a population of around 38,000.

Orange is also home to the annual Freshly Plucked Festival, which has previously been host to bands such as Something With Numbers, Butterfingers, Frenzal Rhomb and this year, Magic Dirt.

This years lineup is a stellar one, including the return of one of Australia's longest running rock bands, Magic Dirt, along with Regular John, The FumesThe Jezabels and local bands Code of Lies and Not Unto Us, amongst many more. 

Freshly Plucked is one of the many stops on Magic Dirt's first tour without their founding bassist Dean Turner, who sadly died of cancer in August 2009. 

The details for Freshly Plucked are as follows, and more information is available on both their website and their myspace.
