by the time this entry posts, Friendly Fires will be probably getting ready somewhere in Inverness for their Friday slot at Rockness. however, the first festival they played in 2010 was actually Snowbombing in Mayerhofen, Austria. despite the location, somehow the entrepreneurial spirit of Britain won out, as someone figured out a flight/coach scheme that transported many Britons to the snowy(ish) location. watch from about 1 minute in for a brief interview. the look on Edd's face when the interviewer (female I might add) calls them 'the very gorgeous' is priceless. also 'annoying the locals' ranks high on the 'bless' factor.

- For the thinking music enthusiast. I'm making up for being born on the wrong side of the Atlantic. I own and am the Editor-in-Chief of influential UK/US/IE music website There Goes the Fear. I've covered loads of international festivals, in the North America, the UK, Ireland, and Australia. I used to write for some others (UK anti-male suicide charity CALM's magazine, UK print/online culture magazine DIY, Click Music, and the American blog PopWreckoning). I like analyzing song lyrics at a separate blog called Music in Notes. I play bass and write songs and poetry in my spare time. the 'publications' tag below is for writings I wanted to highlight from 2013 and before. more handy info is available on my website.
