Dot To Dot | Bristol 02.06.12 Dot To Dot has come a long way since occupying three venues across Nottingham on the May bank holiday weekend, 2005. Now spanning three cities – Bristol joined in the fun in 2007, Manchester jumped aboard in 2010 and a brief flirtation with London in 2008 lasted only a year – and over 20 venues this travelling festival has become a must for the up and coming hopefuls of the UK’s alternative scene. So while the headliners of the larger venues include The Drums and Pulled Apart [...]

One of the first big sit-ins of Summer Camp took place last night at the Moonshine Stage where Grateful Dead / Furthur guitarist Bob Weir came out during the Primus set for The Other One at the second day of the annual festival in Chillicothe, Illin. The Primus/Bobby connection stems from drummer Jay Lane who has been the drummer in Ratdog since Weir formed the group and currently mans the kit for Primus as he did from the group's start until 1988. In fact, Les takes credit for introducing Lane to original Ratdog bassist Rob Wasserman [...]

Wilton’s Music Hall was in many ways the perfect location for Wild Beasts to play. Not the most obvious choice of venue, the hall’s bar seems more like a gentleman’s club; books on the shelves, various pianos, and old armchairs adorned the homely rooms. It is an altogether classy establishment that suits Wild Beasts’ outward appearance. The venue itself is quite theatrical; wooden floors, a high ceiling, minimal lighting and a bare rock wall at the back of the stage, all of which matches Wild Beasts’ music’s theatrical pomp to a tee.
