Loop Festival

Hey guys,

About a week ago, I was down in Brighton covering the city’s annual festival, LOOP, for the blog Strange Glue. Ashley and I have been doing some work with them photographing various shows around London. I’ve bombarded my music page with uploads. Check them out.

Highlights from LOOP: check out the American band Solid Gold. They’re from Minneapolis and they’re great. Really good show and awesome sound.

Tunng was another great band (this one’s from England). Much more low-key, take a drive up highway one by yourself or play it on your ipod on a train sort of thing. Whatever you’re into.

Of course, Karin Dreijer Andersson, a.k.a Fever Ray, gave the audience a devilishly delightful glimpse into her Scandinavian imagination. With the sparsely lit stage and elaborate costumes, her performance proved more than just going to see another hyped band from Sweden (but all the hyped bands from Sweden are amazing, so what I’m I saying). Unfortunately, no camera’s were allowed. I tried my best to get some shots though.
