Well the lure of Los Campasinos, Ballboy, Darren Hayman and Town Bike was too much to resist and me and the hobbit are off to Indie Tracks festival in Derbyshire. Town Bike were the clincher, at last some pop punk on this bill, very much in the Helen Love school, which is a great thing in my opinion, couple that with Ballboy, possibly my favourite UK band and that’s the recipe for a fantastic weekend. Darren Hayman is former member of Hefner who releases fantastic records now as a solo artist and as a member of Bluegrass quartet, Hayman Watkins Trout and Lee. If you want to check him out his website is Hefnet.com, sample the new stuff, its very very good and although he does do hefner songs, you got to progress and his new stuff does that.
As for Los Campasinos, Lisa likes them, they have that shouty exuberance she likes and she likes a bit of Town Bike as well.
You don’t have to search to far for my disparaging comments regarding Indie Tracks, the organiser of this is a fantastic man though that had a dream of putting a festival on of music he likes, that is how it should be done and the line up is solid. Should be a good one.
