Man, the fest was insane. In a thoroughly good way, of course. Saw a metric buttload of bands, including Paint It Black, The Holy Mountain, The Ergs (double set!), Leatherface, This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb, The Copyrights etc etc etc. My biggest worry about the whole affair was that like larger festivals in Britain it would be so crowded you couldn't see as much as you would like, but for the most parts it was easy to get in anywhere. Oh, yeah and we played. Pretty chaotic but I think it came off well. Most of the people there had seen us earlier on tour so had a good few singing along. Nice feeling.

Anyway, tour must go on. Today we finally got our LPs, straight from the pressing plant in Nashville. Also got our own personal tour of the process, pretty strange to see all the major label pressing happening in the same place as ours. The Guns and Roses album 'Chinese Democracy,' which has been 17 years in the making, and was at one point never going to happen, was coming off the presses as we walked round. No interest in hearing it, but could have made a tidy profit if we'd managed to snaffle some.
Lalalala.
