Ay-tee-what? The Great Escape? No. The North = better, and this was proven once again at the weekend. The Faversham in Leeds played host to the best Nasty Fest bill yet, and believe us it was an absolute corker (and we’re not just saying that because we sponsored the thing): Yeasayer, The Mae Shi, No Age, Cadence Weapon, A Place To Bury Strangers, Slow Club, Pulled Apart By Horses, Paul Marshall, Dinosaur Pile-Up... we could continue. But we won't, because this is all about the pictures, man.
A couple of things before we break to the snaps, though. First, mad props to Bad Sneakers for organising such a fantastic event; secondly, even madder props to those who danced like lunatics to the strains of Andrew WK and Scatman after the bands. Good times were had, not least by the DiS DJs (hi!). Finally, if you get the chance, go and see Monotonix. They're crazier than a bag of hammers. But not a bag of DramaHammers. Anyway, here are some pretty pictures...

are there any more photos about
in some online album or anything?
nice pictures
I would love to see more it was a great event. I'm not sure but I think I see myself in one of the Candece Weapon pics.... maybe I dunno who cares. The Mae-Shi stage invasion was so much fun.
there's plenty there!
Gary might put some more on his FlickR, though, if you ask nicely...
I know there is lots of nice ones there
I just loved it so much I wana see more and re-live the moments hehe.
Please Mr Gary it would be lovely if we could see more pictures if you dont have anyother plans for them, or if you are going to put them some place else, it would be lovely to know whereI could see them. thank you very much I like your camara skills.
MAN!
This brings back memories now{!}. At last.
I've been trying to piece together the evening all day.
Candece Weapon was sick and The Mae Shi stage invasion was a large spoonful of fun, and what the F@@K happend in the other room when Pulled Apart By Horses played. It looked amazing. I could'nt get in and could only see bodies and alcohol being thrown in the air.
Pulled.
I think James Brown smashed his head open and had to get carted off to hospital!
I fucking loved that day! I haven't had that much fun in ages!
NO WAY!
Ha,ha,ha. I hope he is ok actually....................?>?>?>?
What a band!
I missed Monotonix but hear this was just as much chaotic mayhem. It looks it anyway.
pulled apart by horses was insanity
always is
crowd surfing guitarists, beer everywhere, rolling around the floor etc, shame no one got any photos of them
If anyone did then....
they are probably shit from the look of what was goind down in that room. Gutted I could'nt get in.
Pulled Apart By Horses
Were easily my band of the day, although I think I may be paying the physical consequences of being in that room now...it was like some kind of tazmnian devil rampage.
medic!

Here's a few pics that actually made it
from the gig, every other bit of evidence melted in magma. What a fucking awesome day - roll on the next one!! Monotonix were one of the best things I've ever seen! Check out theyre mini album - it's fucking amazing - sounds like Queen fucking Sabbath in the pipes.
ps.James(NappyIIrd) looks like a rock solid cop with that tash!
