The scene is still good, I’m not clued up on the Vicks but from searching no, it’s not common at all now but rolling is still 90% of the crowd. Went to a Stu Allen memorial show last week with my mates dad, the 50s crowd still got it, glow sticks and whistles.
More Anjunadeep these days for me. Jody Wisternoff (Way out west) and James Grant (Jonos Brother). They luckily do a lot of shows near me so it’s quite available but we travel for them.
Never been to a tritonal event or artist show actually, quite new to me these.
It’s an old joke referencing some TV show or movie, I forget. A Reefer Madness sort of vibe but for MDMA and the whole scene. “Kids smearing Vicks on each other, eating drugs that take ice cream scoops out of their brains,” or something along those lines, real pearl-clutchy. My friends and I thought it was hilarious and started leaning into it. “Oh yeah, huge scoops, and we slather the Vicks on with trowels.”
Takes me back. Spin some glow sticks for me the next time you go. And stay hydrated!
Marsh has been on a mad run this year doing All-night long 5 hour sets across the UK and USA.
Tritonal and Above & Beyond! Are the kids still smearing Vicks on each other? Good times.

That’s good to hear. I always had fun there.
