Leeds Festival, Bramham Park, Day Three

Posted by godblessthemusicpress on August 26, 2008 · Leave a Comment 

This morning we rise to the anthemic sounds of British Sea Power. With a usual varied, bizarre turn of events the group’s show normally involves mad antics, a lot of foliage and occasionally a man dressed as a bear. Today, however watching them on the main stage is a strange concept. With their larger than … Continue reading →

This morning the sun is shining and although yesterday was a little patchy today we’re ready for music overload. Starting on the BBC Introducing stage we head to see Sheffield’s Situationists who give the day an indie pop boost. Sounding like Hot Club De Paris mixed with The Wombats the student group are the perfect … Continue reading →

Leeds Festival, Bramham Park, Day One

This year’s Leeds Festival doesn’t start with a bang, but rather a moan, specifically from a member of Slipknot as they limp out (literally) of today’s line-up. Luckily we’re not particularly relying on the group to provide much more than comic relief so we briskly move onto the first act of the weekend- Yeasayer. With … Continue reading →

This morning you awake to the ultimate festival downer, the slight pitter patter of rain hitting your tent (that’s right we’re camping) and things couldn’t get much worse. After a swift bacon sandwich and a cup of tea we head over to the Phrased and Confused stage where we sit to marvel the poetry and … Continue reading →

Unfortunately thanks to the inaccuracy of Googly Maps this weekend does not get off to the smoothest of starts. Having missed Youthmovies we make a quick dash for The Mae Shi, and instantly find a group to match our confused state of mind. Proving Kappa jackets are still cool, parachutes are not just for girl … Continue reading →

Tellison, Tubelord, Above Them at The Priory, July 25

This evening’s combination of post-rock groups are a little lost on the under 18’s audience. Above Them are three skinny guys from Pontefract who’ve spent the past year perfecting their live show- it’s definitely taken affect. From the first note lifted from their EP ‘Put Your Heart Into This’, the trio have already shaken the … Continue reading →
