Dot to Dot Festival and Relegation
So last Sunday was Dot to Dot Festival in Nottingham, which was pretty awesome in that I got to spend the whole day watching great bands, drinking lots of alcohol and getting sunburnt. To summarise, the main attractions for me going into the day were My Vitriol, Ladyhawke and Friendly Fires.
Ladyhawke was pretty good, the crowd only really got going when she closed her set with My Delirium though, which made me wonder why she didn’t start with it? In terms of hotness, she was a smoking 9, although the fact that she was playing guitar may have added some value for me 
. She’s a good musician.
Friendly Fires were wicked, really energetic and the crowd was mental, I’m sure Rock City must have broken some regulations because it felt like they were waaaay over capacity, all good fun though! My Vitriol were good too, although the sound techs messed up their microphone configurations so you couldn’t hear the lead singer very well, which was a shame because his voice is brilliant.
Little Boots stole the show for me, I wasn’t sure what to expect but her brand of like “technoelectronicpop” really surprised me and she has a fantastic voice. I think that the rescue rooms is a much better venue in terms of sound, but nevertheless she was brilliant. And she aint bad looking either.
So that was Dot to Dot for me. The day was great for me in that it acted as a cushion for the pain of Newcastle United being condemned to relegation that afternoon, which soon returned to hit me properly later in the week. But hey, as Bobby Moncur himself put it, “nobody died”.
I would prefer not to talk about this subject for a while, please respect my wishes and leave me to grieve with dignity.
