Po Face Canadian Doomsters

I saw a band at the Hare and Hounds last night from Canadia who played their geetars with a bow to make soundscapes and were generally a bit po faced and boring.

The boy had a beard and was going bald and was miserable looking and played the guitar while plugging in things into a suitcase of mystery. The girl turned her back to audience and played a bass guitar with her bow.

I didn't see them once smile or talk to each other or anything.

The support band were equally as crap, a group of baldies, the singer had to keep referring to his lyric sheet on the floor and I'm not why when the lyrics were as inane as "brilliant heavens, there must be more" repeat....

Rubbish. Don't go and see Nadja or Iroha. They are crap and are even worse at looking mean and moody than that La Roux woman and she looks like she's cacked her pants.

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

I went to see a bunch of hippies wave their arms around in the air and make music that sounded like the Polyphonic Spree jamming with the Arcade Fire. They were acetastic and I highly recommend them.

Y-Not

I really enjoyed the Y-Not festival in Derbyshire, the mud was pretty horrendous and I didn't actually see any bands (lots of sound checks) but it didn't matter the mud football, vandalism of festival art, the names of the the beer, the world's slowest dodgems and all round festival sillyness was brilliant.
