I just got back from Arctangent Festival. Three days of the slightly obscure end of metal and rock. Highlights were:

Green Lung - Brilliant performance of old fashioned heavy metal with a bit of humor. 

Battlesnake - Australian metal with more than a hint of Spinal Tap.

God Is An Astronaut - very atmospheric post rock.

Emma Ruth Rundle - Solo acoustic, dark and utterly brilliant. 

Dvne - prog metal, like Mastadon but better. Future headliner.

Karnivool - Prog metal, fantastic big production headline show

Kylesa - Recently reformed sludge metal legends. Utterly brilliant and relentless. 

Rolo Tomassi - My favourite performance, legendary mathcore band. Amazing 20th anniversary show.

So many others were also amazing.

Stiff Little Fingers last night at their annual homecoming gig. I missed Sham69 unfortunately.  PiL were also in support. They were OK, but I was never a big fan. Ali McMordie sounded monster, as always. Near the end, they brought on Rory Gallagher's bassist, Gerry McAvoy, for a cover of Gallagher's "The Devil Made Me Do It", which sounded great.
