Bbc Radio 1s Big Weekend

Unfortunately I was unable to attend, much to my heart break, especially since some of my favourite bands were playing. All on the same day bar one band. How gutting is that? Plus the tickets were free. 

What more could a girl want?

But the line up was amazing and the coverage of it across all platforms was even better. No matter what you preferred to watch or listen to it on the coverage was wow!

I'm fair to say I fell asleep during Coldplays set but not because they bored me but because the music is just so soothing and relaxing and I just couldn't resist relaxing in bed listening to them and BAM I'm out like a baby and fair to day I slept like a log that night. 

I then managed to stay awake for the other bands that I wanted to see on the Sunday, the likes of which included Kings of Leon who brought on Chris from Coldplay and then later on The 1975 both of which put on an amazing show and the fact that I could watch KOL despite not being there just made me feel so better about not having tickets to see them in Swansea. 

Overall, I really wish I applied for tickets and went but sadly I didn't so hopefully next time I'll be able to try and get tickets and that the event is a little bit closer compared to all the way up in Glasgow. But what a wonderful way to kick off the festival season which is slowly approaching. 

Save The Fleece From Closure

The independent and extremely adored The Fleece is facing potential closure. If that itself isn't bad enough, they're thinking of turning it into a bunch of flats!

Chris Sharp, owner of The Fleece, says

'The Fleece has thrived as a venue for 32 years. One of the key factors in its success is its location. The lack of residents in the surrounding streets has meant the venue has been able to offer live music 7 nights per week and club nights until 4am at weekends without disturbing anyone. During its entire history The Fleece has not had any issues with noise complaints. If the huge office block located right next door is given the green light to be converted into approx 80 privately owned flats we would anticipate a deluge of complaints as soon as people move in.'

I know it may seem like there isn't a lot everyone can do to save it, however, that is where you're wrong! There is a petition which needs 64,300 supporters, and it's about half way there! 


So if everyone could sign it and help save a much loved venue, one that is close to many peoples hearts and has helped established many local bands

Foo Fighters turn to documentary!

Foo Fighters have been in the studio to record their 8th album, due to release in the fall, to which they are recording a documentary which will be released on HBO. 

However instead of having it as one massive documentary this will be an eight part series, in which they show the journey across 8 US cities to record the album.
Front-man Dave Grohl, shows us that he is once again multi-talented, as he is the one directing the whole thing.

Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, Washington, DC and New York. Within these eight cities, FF delve in to the music roots and culture heritage, whilst they record songs in the most legendary studio of that state.

If that doesn't make things any more unique, they're recording one song per city and too add to the excitement and sheer fact that they have legends of the local music scene sitting in and listening to them as they record the new album.

Grohl, left the lyrics to the last possible moment, adding to the uniqueness of the album as he wanted to ensure that he drew on the cities inspiration as much as he could, his inspiration came in the form the experiences and those that he talked to throughout the album.

The series is to be released on the eve of the bands 20th anniversary

Docu-drama on Kurts death.

As we have recently approached the 20th anniversary of Nirvana's front-mans death, there was been a release for the trailer of the docu-drama on his death; Soaked In Bleach.

Everyone has their theories on iconic rock God, Kurt Cobain's death. Some believe that it was suicide, others however believe that Courtney Love, the front woman of Hole was the one pulling the trigger, all because she wanted to inherit his money.

Soaked in Bleach takes the stance that it wasn't suicide and retells Kurts final days through documentary footage and reenactments. The main narrative belongs to Tom Grant who Courtney Love hired to find him when he vanished from rehab.

It stars Tyler Bryan as Cobain and Sarah Scott as his wife, Love.

There is not set date for the release of Soaked In Bleach.
