Less faith after the Faithless gig?

I had originally planned for this entry to be a review of last night’s Faithless iTunes Festival gig at The Roundhouse, Camden. However, such a plan demands the pre-requisite of having actually attended the gig. So instead this entry has become an enquiry into the venue and promoter’s ticket policy.
AngelBreaks Fantasy Festival
by Tom on Nov.04, 2009, under News
Sony Audio Europe have this week launched a Fantasy Festival game based on the successful model of fantasy football but inspired by the brand’s passion for music and sound.
It is an entirely digital campaign and via its partnership with Last.FM it asks users to put together their ultimate festival line-up, which is then scored according to their acts real life popularity, i.e. online activity.
AngelBreaks has decided to indulge and you see can our festival line-up in the picture above and here. We have gone more with our heads than our hearts, (although we really are secret Cheryl Cole fans,) in a bid for not only the many prizes on offer, but of course the glory also. How can the holy musical triumvirate of MJ, Justice and Daft Punk fail us?!
My only cricitism of the website is that there isn’t an option to navigate through the leagues of available artists. When our budget was starting to get very stretched after dropping a bomb on the ubiquitous Kings of Leon, it would have been great to file through a list of the artists that we could afford, instead of having to search blindly.
Nonetheless, we are very excited about the prospect of this campaign and we encourage you to get involved. It is running for the next six months and hopefully we will see you at the summit of our digital festival superstardom!
Soundwave sounded out
by Tom on Oct.26, 2009, under News
We are very excited to discover that Soundwave festival in Croatia, where AngelBreaks performed this summer, has been voted in the ‘Top Ten festivals to try in 2010′ by the Guardian (see link to article above.)
We had a brilliant experience and still have to pinch ourselves that we came on to stage after the legendary DJ Format. We’re not worthy!
But as a general point, massive props need to go to our our good friends at New Bohemia, who ran the whole show exceptionally. They managed to get a stellar cast of bands and DJs to this eastern outpost and they really did harness all the good vibes that a great festival needs to survive.
Bravo Soundwave. See you in 2010.
