Refreshing
Thursday, August 30th, 2007
I had the pleasure of attending Leeds Festival over the weekend. British Indie music is clearly at the height of it’s revival with more bands than you can shake a stick at, each offering their own version of cheeky, arrogant, guitar music you can dance to, it’s great but will it soon get tired? I hope there isn’t a pop revival like the late ninties. The headliners didn’t particularly interested me but there was a few good non-mainstream acts there, Seasick Steve, !!! (chk, chk, chk) and Battles were all entertaining. !!! certainly had me a dancing. For me the stand out band were a four piece, American outfit called Mute Math. They had a great mix of amazing musicianship (their drummer is a machine), athletic performance and awesome sound. Check them out…
