I didn't see much, but I really enjoyed Our Girl in November. Great little band.

LCD Soundsystem at Rock en Seine was absolute perfection. Great setlist, was in the right spot in the crowd, found the cider tent. Couldnt be faulted.   Hives at the Apollo, Bruce in Cardiff and Fontaines in Leeds also superb.
