quiffsamazingworld:leedsfestival

Ahh, my first ever festival, if only for one day. I felt that I didn't want to be like everyone else and go to Reading, so I went to Leeds instead. Actually, I was forbidden from going to Reading, so in the end it had to be Leeds.

Leeds was bloody great though. Enjoy the pictures and reviews of the bands and the whole festival.

Heres A Superb Picture Of A Motorway In South Wales After Two Hours, Me And My Sis Were Already Bored. The Novelty Was Wearing Off... This Is Worth About 50 Points In An 'I-Spy' Book. Its A Hippy In A Service Station!!!
     
Look! Its The Lurpak Stand At Elland Road, Leeds. One Too Many Vodka-RedBulls, A Nights Dancing In The City And I Was Still Ready. Ready To ROCK! Allow Me To Introduce The Keyboardist From Cardiff-Based Band 'The Voices', Its Clare
     
Here Are Two More Members Of 'The Voices', Chris And Chris Finally, A Band! And Who Better Than 'The Rapture'? A Moody Shot Of Chris.
     
Its 'The Streets'. Disappointingly Crap. Its Black Rebel. Surprisingly Not-Crap. In Fact, Black Rebel Were So Good, I Used The Zoom Function To Move In As Close As Poss
     
  By The Time This Shot Was Taken, I'd Gone Past Caring Taking Photos. Heres The Drummer From BRMC For You All.  

Bands

  1. Cave In - Really good, although what was the point of putting them on at midday?
  2. Junior Senior - Hell Yeh! This is what i'm talking about! They were pretty good from what I saw of them. That fat guy is really gay though.
  3. Jet - Pretty damned good to be fair to them. Can't remember what they played though.
  4. The Revs - Only heard the start of one song, but it sounded quite rocking. Should've stayed around longer.
  5. The Rapture - By far the best band of the day. The whole Radio 1 tent was at least tapping their feet. They Rock!
  6. The Streets - Skinnnnnner! Yep, he was dissapointingly crap. Bless him, his voice was wrecked, so you couldn't expect anything good from him. Calv was good though.
  7. Doves - I didn't really expect to like them, but they were really good. Satellites at the end finished off a perfect set. There Goes The Fear was also superb.
  8. Beck - Superb. The little man of rock was just incredible. Mixed Bizness, Devils Haircut and New Pollution plus a load of stuff i've never heard of. Full marks to his keyboard on wheels though. Funniest thing I saw all day.
  9. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Another surprisngly good set. Left alone with the two Chris', it was good to enjoy BRMC without my sister shaking her head in disbelief. Stop, Whatever Happened To My Rock N Roll and Spread Your Love were all superb, and their cover of The White Stripes' The Hardest Button To Button was also really cool.
  10. Blur - Although I only caught a glimpse of ol' Damon himself, I listened to about a quarter of the set. Highlight was Tender. Quite cool to hear the huge crowd sing along.
