Tales of the Jackalope

I spent the best part of last weekend at a small festival in Norfolk called Tales of the Jackalope. It was an intimate affair put on by Vice magazine and I had a great day. Aside from the top weather and perfect location the line up included a load of great new unsigned and signed artists that are all doing their bit to push the boundaries of modern music forward. Acts like XX Teens and These New Puritans played top quality sets full of innovative uncompromising tunes. My personal highlight was a hardcore band called Fucked Up. Fronted by a very large man covrerved in tatoos they lay waste to the stage and were eventually forced off by the police for continuing to play after the midnight curfew. Many other acts played the festival including The Fall, Dizze Rascal, Foals and The Rumble Strips. However there was one major downside to the whole event (asdie from the catering) and that was the cancellation of New York legends ESG.  I would highly reconmend this fetival to anyone looking for something a little different.
