At the Field Day Festival
which was a tiny bit shit really - not because it rained - but because they still hadn’t fixed the toilet problems (solution - provided decent capacity to avoid massive queue lines! Duh!) and it was a bit lackluster somehow. They seemed to have throw a whole fuckload of bands into one space, and made a token effort to string it all together with a thin on the ground Village Fete style theme.
Anyway - major plus points involved seeing Of Montreal frontman Kevin Barnes smash his guitar up at the end of his set in a fit of extreme rage. Complete destruction. And they played my favorite song (The Past is a Grotesque Animal - with the wonderful lyric "No matter where we are, we’re always connected by underground wires") - so all good there.
Also the Farnborough Brass Band of The Royal British Legion (pictured) - who won my (some would say easily pleased) heart with their renditions of Kylie Minogue and Beatles songs and the theme from Superman - plus many others. I stood there with my stripy umbrella feeling like an extra from 60’s TV series The Prisoner (Patrick McGoohan cult classic). Big ups Brass Band. I loved that show.
