Refreshing

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…

Apologies once again for the lack of posts throughout August.

I have spent most of the summer away from home mostly working at the Soul Survivor festivals so blogging time has been reduced to well…..nothing.

However, I’m not one who likes to let people down, so make sure you CLICK HERE to see what I was involved with and visit the brand spanking new “Soul Survivor Underground” youtube channel - tip of the hat to Gareth for being such a machine.
