Tortoise @ The Beck’s Festival Bar
Tortoise are post-rock. Dave said they were good and we should check them out. I didn’t really know their stuff but it turned out to be a pretty top night. I loved the way the band members swapped instruments between songs. There were two sets of drumkits which were at the front of the stage instead of the usual back. I hate it when you buy tickets and then you end up getting freebies, luckily some friends were interested in coming along and shared in the ticket price.
I got a VIP pass for taking photos for In The Mix which allowed me into the “special” cafe/lounge area. VIP areas are a bit of a wank, but at least I got to use the clean toilets! It also provided some nice shelter from the pouring rain that night.
