Well the report on last nights M1 gig will vary depending on who you spea=
k
to!! For myself, unfortunately, I wasn't exactly pumped at the end of it!
But having said that, I wasn't too excited at this prospect to start with
anyway! Having to sit through a bunch bands that I don't like all day,
waiting for the the best to come last at what was at times, the corniest
festival I have ever been to! Commercials being played on big screens in
between acts, commercial radio announcers doing cheesy interviews with th=
e
bands as the walked off stage, and some looser MC at the skate board ramp
talking in a fake American accent was enough to make the skin crawl, even=
on
those with the thickest hide. Evidentially, those with the thickest heads
loved it! The food abd drink line ups were huge and basically the logisti=
cal
aspect of it was organised pretty poorly. The one exception was the time =
of
change over of staging and bands. That was done really well and there was
only a short wait between acts.=0D

the Oils were far and away the best band (especially since they were abou=
