Great Escape

So yesterday I got my Great Escape ticket. In case you don't know, G.E is a Brighton based 3 day music festival in mid May showcasing a universal collection of new bands and up and coming groups. Last year saw Kate Nash playing to 220 alongside Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip at the Pressure Point, Adele playing to a lucky 50 or so people in Red Roaster Cafe, Happy Mondays on Brighton Pier, Gallows at the Komedia, Bat for Lashes/Cold War Kids/The Gossip/Scissor Sisters doing a T4 Transmission gig and so forth. If you've got the energy to run around like a headless chicken to over 20 venues in Brighton over 3 days and nights get your ticket now as this year it's going to take off what with being billed as the south's answer to SXSW. Already confirmed for this year are Young Knives, Black Lips, Ipso Facto, The Subways, The Teenagers and Iron and Wine plus many more to be confirmed over the next few weeks.

Expect a few gig reviews coming up in the next few weeks... including Queens of the Stone Age, Smashing Pumpkins, Nada Surf and Nouvelle Vague.
