Where did you go yesterday?
I thought Sunday was by far the strongest line up of the weekend. MJ Hibbutt, Onward Chariots, Specific Heats, Blanche Hudson Weekend, Shrag, Slow Club, Pooh Sticks and The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart all excellent.
was in the church for a couple hours after secret shine
both pooh sticks and pains were too busy at the front to find you after i went to get drinks.
Sunday was definitely much better.
MJ Hibbett & The Validators played at my nephew's wedding
Lovely bunch of folks!
is your nephew mark sturdy by any chance?
No he's not.
His name is Nic Pillinger.
So did I
Allo Darlin, Standard Fare, Ballboy/Gordon McIntyre, Specific Heats, MJ Hibbett, Internet Forever, the Just Joans... Sunday was stronger, I agree, but in general all sorts of goodness.
yeah i did, i had a great time
i hadn't heard hardly any of the bands this year but i still had a really good time. so, i'll have no idea of most of what bands i saw until i try and piece together the stage schedule with what's in my camera. i met some disers there this year, for once.
It was ridiculous fun!
Especially La La Love You and Diego, their fake band member.
Really enjoyed the trains, the disco and Allo Darlin, White Town, Pooh Sticks, Pains, Antarctica Takes It.
la la love you used some of our equipment
he apparently dropped my guitar and left me a really sweet note and came up afterwards apologising and told me if it was broken to give him a call and he'll pay for the repairs. SO FRIENDLY.
I don't think I could ever enjoy a festival with the word 'indie' in the title
probably a good job you didnt go, then?
it's pretty great actually
you can just treat it as a real ale festival with some bands playing.
Bloody gutted I missed it this year.
BEST FESTVAL EVER.
oh i forgot i forgot - they had to close the farm??
NO MORE LLAMAS :(
I saw a sheep
with MASSIVE bollocks, though.
first time I'd been
Had a great weekend even though I wasn't that familiar with a lot of the bands playing (especially on saturday). Shame there wasn't a lot of people there my age as well. Great atmosphere throughout the weekened really enjoyed The Pains..., Veronica Falls, Internet Forever and Slow Club to name a few
Total highlight was Diego...
...the fake band member from La La Love You. Also the general loveliness of everyone at the festival (even the guy who politely requested that we tone down our singing of Total Eclipse of the Heart as we entered the campsite until we got to the disco).
Aye was great again. Just the general atmosphere more than anything else.
Though the music was pretty good, too. Eddie Argos is still my favourite.
Yup
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart were AMAZING headliners, loved Slow Club as well. The Cavalcade were also pretty lovely, from what I heard.
see any bands on the train?
no one seems to have mentioned much of that
I saw Micktravis
he was cool, but the kid that heckled him was cooler
Lime Chalks and Jam On Bread
Quite warm on there. There were two elderly blokes watching Lime Chalks who clearly weren't festival goers, they'd gone for the railway museum day trip and somehow ended up in the carriage. One was making disparaging faces to his friend all set.
really fucking enjoyed it.
did i see you? i'm sorry if i didn't, or even if i did.
bands were superb, and i made so many new friends
including two girls from stockport and an incredibly welsh guy who stayed up drinking gin with us for ages.
i dont believe so
didnt really meet many new people. the ones i did were lovely, though.
enjoyed yr band too, even though i was only just getting into the site when you were on
some pictures of bands:

Jordan, this review you've done for another site
I don't know who it was you saw in the church (Stars Of Aviation, probably), but from "ghostly traces of folk, gospel and country in their thought out and spread out heavenly melodies" I'm guessing it wasn't actually Sarandon, as you've put.
aye, i noticed as soon as it was up
and the edit function isnt working. p'nnoying.
did you see them?
Which one?
Neither, as it turned out, due to church queues and talking to pop stars.
stars of aviation
http://www.contactmusic.com/new/home.nsf/review/indietracks-festivalx28x07x10 is the review, for those who care to read.
we sidestepped the queues by going sneaking through the side door and sitting amongst the band equipment, only later finding out you were allowed to do this with a press pass anyway
Ah, I thought they'd stopped that this year
with all the stuff about fire safety. Right at the end of Gordon McIntyre's set the bloke on the door just told the entire queue they may as well go in for the last song. He then did an encore.
ah, there were loads of people stood at the back for ballboy
loved it..again
How great are The Just Joans?

Offbeat DJ set @ indietracks, Fri 23 July - Spotified
Those who want to relive a part of indietracks can sort of do so:
http://www.offbeat.group.shef.ac.uk/frames/favorfra.htm
The DJ set 'proper' ran from 10.15pm-midnight once the bands had finished on the outdoor stage; however, having set up early evening, I decided to play tracks from 6.30pm'ish onwards for those chilling out in the trainshed or picking up a beer between bands, and for completeness sake it's all Spotified as much as possible (about 80% of what was played was available)
Congrats to the playlist bingo winner and thanks to i) Stuart for the chance to DJ and ii) the tech crew who enabled the rigging up of the projections etc :-)
