Was alright until @Mouseboy11 turned up and took the piss out of someone for wearing an IDLES shirt and started a scrap. Weird vibes.

A man after my own heart, I'd probably do the same. It's mad how many blokes deal with male pattern baldness by listening to some guys shouting out the early draft of a leftwing political manifesto

Weird thing to lie about!

Tbf, way too many Idles fans wear Idles shirts to Idles gigs. They need telling.

Was even more mad when they saw our flag and started chanting “Lisa needs braces!”

Wet Leg last night at the Joiners.

Some good songs, some filler. An utterly pointless cover of Ronan Keating.

Crowd full of people I rarely see at gigs all there to supposedly support IVW when half of them never go to shows. One chap randomly drove 3 hours from Cambridge to Southampton for it.

There was a fight halfway through which livened up the pedestrian mid set plodding. It got good after that. I was really hoping they wouldn't play Chaise Lounge or do it Nirvana style and play it badly just to annoy everyone.

We've got to deal with it somehow

Danny Nedelko fucking went off at Ally Pally. That was the peak of the gig, surprised they didn't end with it

That's great.

I thought the same when I went to see them. Really liked the first couple of singles but found most of the set itself quite plodding, surprised consequently that they've gone through the roof in popularity.

They have material for a solid 40 minute set which is fine for a band who haven't released an album and have no EP's. 

Playing an extra 20 minutes on top of that is unnecessary at their stage of evolution but I guess is almost demanded by their popularity.

They seemed slightly baffled by how popular they are.

I think one of the key things making them popular/ so talked about is the fact its impossible to see them. They are constantly mentioned in my uni house for the sole reason that we can't get tickets for them (and couldn't even get close to their tent at Latitude last year).

This is a very strange review, how long are the sets they have been doing? Bit under an hour?

[the wonderwhy]

They played for about an hour ay YES and besides the first 2 or 3 songs taking a little while to get going it was one of the best hours the pink room has ever seen - especially from a band with only four tracks released. 

The album is gonna slap.

I remember when Royal Blood first started getting some buzz and people were miffed at the 40 minute sets they were playing. Despite just having an EP to their name.

They played an hour last night but had a 5 minute break for the random fight that kicked off!

Likewise I saw Fontaines on their first headline tour where they did the same and one bloke at the end said "is that all they are going to do?"

They'd only released 2 singles and it cost about £7 to get in. Not sure what he was expecting!

In fairness they could have said 'a televised mind' for 20 mins straight to help bulk the gig out

BCNRs singer/guitarist Isaac is leaving the band. Upcoming shows cancelled, but band carrying on without him.

Wouldn't say uncertain as they state clearly that they intend to continue making music under the BCNR name as a 6 piece, but yeah, wouldn't expect them to be booked for this year now.

Anyway hope Isaac and the band are OK.

I mean all they would need to do is play the same 40 minutes again and people would have the same gig as they perform now. 

[Miyn]

Arghhh! BCNR are my favourite band at the moment, this is terrible news. I wonder what's happened, hope he's alright. He sounded a lot more positive on the second album compared to the first, so I don't know what could have happened.

Boy, you best hope you haven’t praised Royal Blood at some point during your time on eFestivals.

Read the statement – he's pretty explicit about the fact it's anxiety. Probably the bump up to these much larger rooms with added pressure of a new album was the straw that broke the camel's back. Huge shame.
