The next month or so should prove to be spacial to say the least. Leeds has been on my sub-sub-conscious for the last 11 months and a very close call of not nearly getting any tickets was pretty hell raising.
It all started a few months back when myself and Mr. L decided on a whim to go and see Sons & Daughters Fibbers and it turned out to be a delight. But most of all it reignited the flame for live music which had been dwindling for a short while.
Watching a band who have had medi-core success but have just continued to do what they do best with no compromise whatsoever made me think that's there are band/artist out there that shit on the door step of the mainstream shit stream.
Knowing that Leeds will be impregnable and a strong listening regime to allow maximum listening time for all band at the festival meant all I had to do was turn up! But then on the horizon, The Duchess turns up, sticking its fingers up to its neighbour and could well be setting a new bar. Evan Dando, We are Scientsis, Iglu & Hartly to mention a few are gracing this new palace of audio orgasm.
On my return I shall be turning my attention to 'Stay Positive', the staggering new album from the Hold Steady.
Until then, I shall burn at beached, fly at Leeds and punch the air with joy at the up and coming Time to Leave gig.
The future looks bright but that's not to say I will stop looking...
