The dream would be to post an instax shot up here everyday that has been taken on that day. If I don't manage to take a picture on that day then an instant taken in the past will be posted. This will be accompanied by some sort of description as to why I found the subject of the image interesting or a little background story. The idea is that this will encourage me to capture something of interest once a day and this blog will provide a place to document this.

#9 - Leeds (not the festival)
Today's instant was taken in Leeds this morning. This picture has no relevance to my blog post other than the fact it's a place in Leeds. I liked the building, the statue and the sky in this moment in time. If anyone knows anything about whats in the picture then I would be happy to listen. I thought I better snap something before I got on the train as I didn't get chance to take one of the Royal Park Cellars, which was host to a class gig I went to last night. The line-up was Brontide + Rosa Valle + William KJ Anderson + Cub Club. I'm not going to bore you with a massive review of each band. You're getting one liners and pictures (I took some of my own on my fisheye so they should be up soon).
Brontide - Intense. Loud. PEDALS. Awesome.
Rosa Valle -One upped Cub Club by half of them playing on the floor. The most boro band on the bill. Lovely as always.
William K. J. Anderson - Awesome acoustic numbers that are inspired by The Wire (I'm lead to believe). How can you not like him? Totally changed the atmosphere in the venue aswell.
Cub Club - Class. The singer really utilised the little step infront of the stage. Mathy, tappy and proper class.
If you thought this blog post was Leeds Festival free then you were mistaken. If you aren't going and keep bitching about how rubbish the festival then crack a bloody smile. I'm sure you don't hate the festival as much as you make out. It's a music festival, thats not the worst way you could spend your weekend. Loads of people were making their way to the festival site from Leeds train station, quite disheartening considering I was heading back to Newcastle. I'm going to have a class time watching it on telly this weekend. Maybe I'll do some sort of Leeds festival feature considering I'm not going. My take on the bands that are playing. How does that sound?
Just to annoy the haters even more. Here's a picture of the lineup:
DEAL WITH IT. The lineup is good. (apart from Guns 'n' Roses - get lost Axl and let Slash do his business)
