This Saturday the twentieth of September two thousand and eight, The Placard Headphone Festival (not to be mistaken with that other thing which happens at Glastonbury and Liverpool St station). I’ve attended this event twice and it’s very good for several reasons. Firstly, you get to experience a gig where the context has little bearing on what you hear. Hang on, I suppose that’s not true. Okay I haven’t fully thought that through, but you know what I mean. Secondly, it goes on for ages (1:00pm til 11:00pm) allowing you the time to fully adjust to the event, relax, meet new people etc.
Brassica set from 16:40 - 17:00.
The following Saturday is Pins and Needles presented by Tartaruga Records. As far as I’m aware this is the first event they’ve organised, which means it’ll be a bit like that Sex Pistols gig in Manchester attended by Ian Curtis, Mick Hucknall, Morrissey… so if you don’t attend, well… you might not ever get a mention by Paul Morley on a Channel 4 Top 100 show. It also lasts all day and they’re offering free fruit to counteract the effects of noise music on the digestive system.
