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.

Had a surprisingly fun gig at Wembley Stadium last Friday watching K-pop sensations Blackpink. Not my preferred musical style (I was taking the teenager) but have to admit that it was a fantastic show. 
 

PS since it’s apparently obligatory to have preferences, my favourites are Lisa and Rosé

Just chatting with my pal Napper and he mentioned he's working the Damnation Festival this year (Doom, Post-Metal, Black Metal, etc). Just had a look at the lineup, and not a single smile in any of the band photos, it's hilarious, they all look like the photographer's just told them the band van has been nicked. Fave band name for the weekend is Crippling Alcoholism...at least they're contemporary in their misery...I'm just waiting for an even more modern one called Switching Broadband Providers...

 

I was asking him about hiring a drum screen for some recording we're doing, because we're getting horrendous mic bleed, and he said 'Horrendous Mic Bleed? I think they're headlining the Friday night...'
