Arctangent next week, slight anxiety due to going by myself but should be good.
Having a look at the clash finder though and there's a few annoying clashes. Mostly on the first day too, after that things aren't quite so stacked imo.
Urne clashing with both Wyatt E. and Doodseskader. I do love Urne and really want to see them again, but maybe I should see something else I haven't seen before... but do I go for the ritual ambient doom of Wyatt E or the industrial metalcore of Doodseskader?
Conan clashing with Skemer. I do love Conan but seen them before, and they're supporting at a different gig later this year... maybe Skemer's darkwave will win over Conan's doom this time.
Spiritualized clasing with Author and Punisher. Spiritualized are legends but might have to go for the industrial of Author and Punisher (Spiritualized replaced Clown Core, which makes this decision easier...)

I have no idea about any of these bands but kudos for going solo if you love music which I’m sure you do you’ll be fine.
My wife was not up for Biffy @ Pompey Victorious end of this month and no chance I was missing out as the festival day is a good un with the lineup so sod it i”m going solo unless a friend joins late but unlikely at this point!
One life; Rock it🤘😎🎸

Well that was a weird one.
So Rochdale put on a (mostly) annual ‘Feel-Good Festival’ where the pubs and bars put singers on, there are food stalls etc, and then there are bands on in the late afternoon and into the night. Generally pop or older indie acts. The first (in fact last) time I went it was Alphabeat (remember that ‘Fascination’ song?) and since then they’ve had stuff like the Fratellis, the Bluetones, I think even the Lightning Seeds once.
Anyway they’ve moved towards a charging model this year (not sure if this happened in previous years) and we’ve had an unlikely triple threat of Heather Small (deliberately missed), the Lottery Winners and Ocean Colour Scene for £15 quid.
Lottery Winners were arse but the crowd seemed to love them. Crap guitar pop with what sounded like Johnny Vegas randomly shouting over it. Did seemingly more covers than original songs including It Must Be Love, Don’t Look Back In Anger and I’m sure there were more, I forget. To be fair, they absolutely played to their crowd, did lots of patter and participation, and did it proficiently enough, but it felt like watching Tik Tok for an hour.
OCS - my other half’s favourite band and I’m a halfway big fan too. Simon Fowler was not in very strong voice tonight and the sound was crap for probably fully half of their set, with large swathes of it having inaudible lead guitar (Craddock is one of my favourite players too). OCS are more pastoral than people think with a big folk influence amongst the mod rock and soul stuff they do and it was just falling really flat. Sadly this was reflected in the performance. The crowd killed them. Fowler looked like he wanted to be anywhere else but there. Not an uncommon reaction to Rochdale to be fair. Odd bits of singing and recognition for Riverboat/Circle/Profit in Peace, Different World and Hundred Mile City, and then the crowd of course all pipes up for Day They Caught the Train. Wrong band for the wrong event I think, and I saw them before Xmas in Liverpool last year when they were absolutely awesome.

That’s a shame as OCS are a fantastic group! Still not to be sniffed at I guess for £15 for those bands (despite the varied quality) when that amount of money can’t even buy you a pint and a slice of pizza at the O2 London now days!

At Arctangent.
Saw a few bands (as one would hope at a festival). Some I knew others were new.
Pleiades were the first band I saw. Never heard of them but were a decent kind of screamo / post hardcore band I guess, from Manchester. Quite fun and they seemed genuinely delighted at the turnout.
Oddism were sludgy doom / death, sounded French, but one of those bands who constantly switch rhythms, so whilst they're technically good they never lock into a groove. Though the singer did come into the crowd and encourage a mosh pit around him. Decent fun if undanceable.
Underdark were a fun black metal act, seen them before. Some nice post-metal touches between the blast beats and some surprisingly groovy bits.
Saw Healthyliving whilst eating some overpriced paella. Good post-hc sound, reminded me of Brutus
Urne were in decent form. Seen them before and they were probably better when I saw them headline their tour, but they have a really good presence. Interestingly the singer seems to have abandoned his clean vocals, instead just using growls. This actually works well as his cleans aren't as good as his harsh vocals.
Julie Christmas was a real delight. She and her band put on a great show. It's hard rock / metal but her voice has a that Scandinavian elfinesque quality (no idea of she's actually Scandinavian, but that kind of quality). Were a few young kids on their parents shoulders in the crowd, wearing ear defenders, and they seemed to enjoy it and the guitarist noticed them and looked delighted to see them (not in a creepy way though!)
Conan are Conan. I still think they pretend to be a doom band but secretly they're a d-beat and 2-step hc band. Fairly large circle mosh pit I enterer briefly.
Whilst eating yet more overpriced food I overheard Kaonashi, a hardcore band. Wasn't a fan really but if you ever heard Knocked Loose and thought "wow I wish the singer could sound even more like angry SpongeBob Squarepants" you might like Kaonashi.
Author & Punisher were an industrial metal act. Two piece, the main guy on samples and homemade instruments - genuinely, drum hits triggered by this big metal contraption that he controls with his right arm, and also plays some strange modulation thing with his left arm. Like an industrial stylophone I guess. Very atmospheric and drony. He was joined but a guitarist to give some extra oomph to the riffs. I dug it.
After that I was feeling tired so went to lie down in my tent and read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Tents are literally less than 5 minute walk from the arena so can listen to the acts. There was a post rock band, Explosions in the Sky, headlining and could hear their twinkly riffs drift over occasionally. But the closer stage had an act called John Cxnnor, who seemed to play house / techno whilst angrily rapping / screaming. Like Death Grips over gabba, so mostly heard that.
Now listening to other campers play music, but mostly listening to a neighbour snore loudly, like a blocked drain. Festival camping isn't very fun, have to say.

Arctangent has now concluded.
Not going to go through a full list of what I saw as I'm lazy, but uighlights of the last two days include:
The Omnific - Australian the piece, drummer and two bassists. Mostly instrumental, but a lot of fun. Lots of slap bass, almost a dueling bass scenario as the two bassist trade riffs, and occasionally do synchronised bass riffing.
Incredibly fun, very catchy hooks and occasional techno sections where the drummer starts dancing around as the four-to-the-floor sample kicks in.
Sigh - absolutely incredible. I've seen them before, a couple of years ago (which was their first UK gig in 20 years), but this has a different line up. Mirai wasn't on bass this time, just doing vocals and occasional flute, and he was joined by Dr. Mikannibal, on vocals and occasional sax, who was absent at the previous gig I saw.
Mirai and Dr. Mikannibal (who actually is a Dr, as she has a PhD in physics) are married, and they also bought along their youngish kids who occasionally threw horns to get the crowd hyped up, so it was a real family affair.
Their music is great, based in black metal but over the decades before much more experimental, and there's some nice theatrics like flaming swords, burning magic books and Dr. Mikannibal pouring red wax over herself so it looks like dripping blood. They're just a lot of fun, and possibly the highlight of my weekend.
Imperial Triumphant - Avant Garde black metal. Musically it's heavily jazz inflected, using strange bass runs and time signatures and frankly it's often impenetrable.
But it's somehow fun. You pick up on groove and patterns, but it's really just down to how charismatic the players are - considering they never actually spoke (outside of the death growls in song) and wear art-deco masks, they move doing stage in a very entertaining manner. In on the quieter sections they walk side by side, comparing riffs with each other, or another time spraying champagne into the crowd (as befits their whole theme of art-deco indulgence collapsing into decay).
Electric Wizard - just great. As expected there is a thick wall of sound from the scuzzy bass and guitars, and it's all centred around heavy fucking riffs. The band played extremely well, but the production was immense too. Smoke machines creating literal clouds that hung around for ages, intense light show and projections showing clips of b-movies and bikers, interspersed with psychedelic patterns.
And they closed with Funeralopolis which is one of my favourites of all time, so a real bucket-list track.

After Covid I really wanted to start going to live music again, but there were basically no bands I wanted to see coming to Japan, so I took a punt on a ticket for one of the biggest festivals here, which has had some killer lineups in the past, and then watched as basically no bands I liked signed up for it. Still, sometimes half the fun of festivals is discovering new bands.... and it was the first time taking [redacted] to see live music, and they knew a few of the names, so they picked most of the schedule. Lauren Spencer Smith - Famous off youtube/tiktok apparently. Turned out to have a great voice and be really good. Her self-written songs fell a bit too much into that 'write your entire relationship disaster in great detail' genre for me, but she was personable on stage and also did some excellent covers of Adele (rumor has it), Taylor Swift etc.. who are a bit better at the writing. Then there was nothing we wanted to see for a while, so we grabbed snacks and wandered around and sampled a few songs from random bands. iirc: a子 (ay-ko) - seemed like a decent pop/dance/rock japanese singer-songwriter, with very red hair. MFS - Very fast hip-hop/dance. Not my kind of thing but catchy and good dancers. Stephen Sanchez - Very 50s lounge singer / rockabilly style, but he kinda pulls it off. He seemed kinda wasted, but maybe he's always like that. We only stayed for half the set as we had to head off. Singing along to Pretty Woman was fun. He seemed like he had a great voice, but he also had so much echo effect on the mic it was hard to tell what he was saying. [side note: the previous ones were while we were gently toasting indoors in massive halls. From this point on we venture outside into the insane heat and attempt not to die. I suspect I spent more money of rehydration than I spent on the tickets!] One Republic - (them of Counting Stars). I was expecting them to be more rocky and Imagine Dragons, but they were more chilled and funky than I thought. Lead guy was fun and chatted a lot with the crowd, though he looked like he was melting. Lots of good bouncy sing-along songs. Turns out he's worked with basically every artist ever and co-written a bunch of famous songs, so he did a sing-along karaoke bit in the middle with some of those. Could have gone a bit Coldplay, but was actually pretty great. Hoshino Gen - (Huge in Japan). Most Japanese pop music is awful j-pop dross, but this guy has always been pretty fun and seems much more genuine. He had a couple of huge songs over here in the past few years, with some dances that went very viral, so this was a big fave for the Japanese fans. I did not do the dance. Took the chance here to move up into the baseball stadium stands and sit down for an hour, while watching the sunset and continuing to melt. Maneskin - (I assume this means 'a lot of skin' in Italian) [redacted] surprisingly wanted to go back down to the standing area for this. Very loud! Very old-school with extended guitar solos. Songs occasionally sounded a bit similar, but that's probably just because I'm not familiar with them. Lead singer has a lot of charisma, in a kind of Freddy Mercury way. They definitely have a hell of a stage presence and can put on a very energetic show. Running around all over the place and playing very exuberant guitar/base solos on the catwalk. We were seriously worried the guitarist in his leather trousers was going to die from heat stroke (not even joking). The fact that the bassist essentially went topless every time she did a solo also added to the OTT nature of things. Definitely one of those bands that are good live. All-in-all, an exhausting sweaty day, but surprisingly great performances from everyone we tried. Not sure I'd have bought an album by any of them beforehand, but there's definitely a few songs going on a spotify playlist. |

Arctangent has now concluded... I just come home from Arctangent too! Didn't realise you were going, wished I saw your earlier post, would have been nice to say hi and have a chat. It's my favourite festival, been for the last three years and i love it. It's friendly, easy to navigate and the lines ups are killer and you are bound to find something new and exciting. full Because of its size I just find it an easy festival to relax at. No missions anywhere and it's an easy drive home. Looking through your two lists, looks likes we mostly saw different things! Band of the weekend for me were Amenra. They were incredible. I was really impressed with them a couple of years back but been listening to them a lot since. This performance was genuinely one of the best sets I have ever seen. Post metal band, with a really simple but effective monochrome lighting set up that really highlights their brutalist nature. It was pretty much perfect. Likewise, I saw Sigh and Electric Wizard. Both were incredible. Sigh is like walking into a musical sweet shop, they go off in so many directions but in a way that isn't frustrating. They are a lot of fun. First time seeing them, come across them a few years ago and been wanting to see them. They kind of like if Frank Zappa had a black metal band. They're nuts. Had nice chat with some one who was super into them whilst waiting for a pizza too. Electric Wizard were fantastic. I saw them about a decade ago, whilst liking them, it was one of the sludgiest shows I have seen haha, so wasn't too fussed about seeing them again, but glad I did. This was incredibly rich, matched with a simple but effective production. Their sound was immense and they played with a professionalism and tempo that impressed me a lot. Other bands that I liked a lot: Pyschonaut - Just a great doom band. Explosions in the sky - a college fav for me, and glad I had the opportunity to see them before they split up. Bo Ningen - always good fun. One of those that are stuck in small band territory playing the same smaller festival. Great to see they still play with heart and energy. Kalandra - new to me, but good moody scandi prog rock with a great singer. Just really tasteful. Meshuggah - Not really my cup of tea, but can't deny their prowess. tight as fuck. Probably a band I should give a proper go. Mogwai - Its Mogwai! First time I seen them do their own album stuff, seem them twice but oddly only doing soundtracks to the Zidane and Atomic films. Impressed how they kept that uncertain fragility in their live performance. Felt at home watching them Slift - new to me, a really modern take on 70's Floyd, Zeppelin and Sabbath - had so much energy and man, that is one of a band that knows how to play. Bossk - their Wednesday performance wasn't great, sound was all over the place. But their Sat set was fantastic. Hexvessel - New to me. Finnish Black metal band crossed with Echo and the bunnymen and the Church with that driving force of Gaahl/Gorgorth. Enjoyed it a lot. Briqueville - new to me. Oh man these were good. Probably close to Amenra as band of the weekend. Band in crow outfits playing some fucking epic rifts. Just loved how simple but effective they were. House Horo - Similar to Kalandra - moody driving prog rock with a great female singer. Ticks my boxes. Most disappointing set for me was Ihsahn. I was really looking forward to seeing him but it didn't really land for me. He mentioned he was a in a bit of a rush to get to the festival (arriving an hour before his set) and you could tell. Was a bit frantic, sound had trouble copping with all the various elements of his music and oddly for someone who puts in so much craft and care into his music it seemed a bit loose. Don't think the set list was that great either. A shame, hope to see him on a better day. Anyway, hope you had a good time. |

@wizzard_Ook
It was a good weekend, sounds like yours was too!
I did see Ihsahn, but agree wasn't amazing. Needed a piss midway through his set and just got a beer and didn't really return, went to camp out at Sigh.
Bossk were good, did see them. Didn't really know them but had a good sound, so I'll check them out. They did seem quite diverse, the first track was quite post-metally, but then later on there was a track I thought was much more "traditional" doom, reminded me of Orange Goblin. Will check out their albums.
I really enjoyed Scaler too, electronica / dance but with guitars and drums. Their tracks segued into one another so it really reminded me of the Chemical Brothers, especially as the drumming gives it a kind of big beat sound. Was a really good set.
I also want to mention Zetra, who play synthwave / darkwave, but the guitarist has a really scuzzy black metal tone. It's buried under the synths and programmed drums but it gives it a nice edge, and they had entertaining black metal paint. Don't think the crowd enjoyed them massively compared to some acts but I liked it.
Oh and Blood Command was great, hardcore punk but goes off in different directions, sometimes quite poppy, sometimes straying into blackened blast beats, but really good and a charismatic front woman. Ended up running around the circle pit there a bit.
And oh, Benefits were great. Angry rap, or slam poetry tackling the UK's political issues over power electronics and blast beats. Very unique. This isn't a direct comparison and it probably holds less water than I like to think, but If Sleaford Mods are akin to The Clash, Benefits would be like Conflict, or Crass.
I did see some Meshuggah but I had drank a bit too much on the Friday, was knackered after Blood Command and couldn't find a good vantage point so just wandered off.
Did watch some Mogwai too. They are great, undeniably, but I'm not a super fan, so couldn't do the whole set. And honestly I have no regrets about my decision.
Might go again next year, unsure. Might see whose playing.

Is this Bossk now the same band that was doing general post-rock/metal on hardcore bills about 15 years ago? I didn’t realise they were still going, or had become a big deal.
Benefits are one of those bands who are evolving and improving so fast they’re almost unrecognisable. They deserve to be up there with Sleaford Mods and Idles really. Although their live show can be bordering on drum’n’bass backed by a wall of strobes for intensity on top of the vocal message. Definitely more of a live act than studio one for me.

I believe it's the same Bossk, they've been around since 2005. And Benefits definitely had a lot of strobes, to the point of discomfort. which is the point I guess. Totally agree it's more a live act, I find it hard to listen to the entire last album in one go but it works well live. |

It's the same Bossk, they are pretty big in the post-metal world. They've only done a couple of proper albums but one of those is Audio Noir which is an all time classic and they've been around for years. We have a saying that it's not a UK metal festival until you've seen Bossk.
Didn't get to go to ATG this year, did Bloodstock though. Was one of the best years for them, just loads of really great stuff. Highlights for me were probably Green Lung, Opeth and Carcass. Loads of smaller bands too and the general level of quality was high. Amazing weather and all.

I think I’ve still got their first ep somewhere. The cover is all green and dense woodland. They used to be on so many shows with bands trying to sound like Botch that I was attending back then.
And surely the true marker of being at a festival is Skindred turning up?

That's the one. Yeah they're like the chin-stroker's Skindred  Remember seeing them supporting Cult of Luna in the Underworld back in the day just when that EP was released. Incidentally - Cult of Luna are one of many great bands I was put onto by the EG forum many moons ago. Shout out to the old-schoolers from back then |

One of the very few bands that have eluded me over the years. From watching on YouTube Tim’s voice seems to either be great or poor. Hope you get the great version. Sufferer and the Witness is a classic album. |

When we saw them in Southampton the guildhall accoustics were awful and we still had a good night. In fact the only band that ever sounded good at the guildhall was Royal Blood.
Not been to Shepherds Bush yet so no idea what to expect.

Not been to Shepherds Bush yet so no idea what to expect. I think I saw Biffy Clyro at the Guildhall many years ago, just before Puzzle came out. Worst gig I've ever been to, mostly due to the sound. But also due to them playing stuff from Puzzle. Haven't been to any gigs for quite some time (last was Wardruna in Shepherds Bush in 2018 I think) and been umming and aching about whether I can be bothered to go and see Baroness in November. Finally decided I can be bothered and booked it last night. |

Really really good, although my hearing is still fucked. I suffer with tinnitus in my right ear so I wear the earbuds to protect them. Hasn't worked this time and I've developed it in my left ear at a different pitch. It's not great and if I yawn I can't hear anything 😅.
Brilliant night though and the crowd were amazing, there was this poor security guard at the front catching crowd surfers and he didn't miss a beat all night. Must have been absolutely knackered at the end.
We had second tier unreserved seating and standing and managed to find a spot to stand right above the stage so they were about 6 foot away but down. Gave us an amazing view and where it was like a smallish bit there wasn't room for anyone else there.
All in all a brilliant night now just hoping my ears mend!

Tents blown away and urinal trouble at Leeds Festival. www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgr4l3yedloNot to get all four Yorkshiremen about it but when I used to go you’d be glad if your tent only blew over. I remember the camp toilets burning down one year and last time I went our designated driver slept in the car because he thought someone had pissed on his tent. |

Saw Yours Truly aus indie rock group in Guildford Boileroom Fri night and they were very good. Better than expected given the lead singer’s voice isn’t the loudest for live music. She uses a backing track quite a bit. However the songs from the new album Toxic sounded great and it was an all tempo hard rocking short set list.
Boileroom living up to its name and crazy hot as usual in there! Seems every gig I go to there the acts mention it so can’t be great for the band either but small venue so got to be forgiving!
7/10 for gig that scale 🤘
Down at Victorious Fest, Pompey today solo and loving it so far 😎

I feel like as a 90s teen and a casual fan who never saw them the first time round that I should make the effort for this, but I just really can't be bothered. It's going to be really expensive, a pain in the arse travel wise, and the you know the crowd will be full of proper twats. |

Other than tweet ‘bombaclart’ occasionally, keeping Oasis broken up was the one good thing that pair of tedious cunts managed to do in the last decade.
I have seen them live a couple of times when it was cheap enough to just roll up and they are, at best, average. Just a bunch of generic men bringing all the energy of a midday sound check.
They would be doing everyone a favour if they remained fucked off.

Pixies in Glasgow last week....still great, but I think I just like the night out with the old friend that I go with...
Took my eldest (20), I've passed on the baton. Think I was about 19 when I first saw them....
Have to get into some new music to see, I look at what I've got coming up over the next few months, and it's all 80s/90s folk...Evan Dando, Mercury Rev, Cardiacs...

Other than tweet ‘bombaclart’ occasionally, keeping Oasis broken up was the one good thing that pair of tedious cunts managed to do in the last decade. I have seen them live a couple of times when it was cheap enough to just roll up and they are, at best, average. Just a bunch of generic men bringing all the energy of a midday sound check. They would be doing everyone a favour if they remained fucked off. Oasis make nusery rhymes for football hooligans |

Have to get into some new music to see, I look at what I've got coming up over the next few months, and it's all 80s/90s folk...Evan Dando, Mercury Rev, Cardiacs... Mine this year make me look kinda young and cool.. The Warning, Lauren Spencer Smith, Maneskin, Olivia Rodrigo, etc.. But that's mainly because I couldn't get tickets for most of the 80s/90s ones Probably gonna try for Green Day next year. |

Death Cab and the Postal Service double header last night at All Points East. 20th anniversary of Transatlantacism and Give up. Both albums played in their entirety. Both still slap! Great time.
