Arc-tic monkeys

ArcTanGent - yet another festival whose line-up has me writhing with envy: Deafheaven, Deerhoof, Blanck Mass, Rolo Tomassi, Cult Of Luna... At least I got a taster of it on Wednesday night, when local promoters Idiot King put on Tangled Hair, Alpha Male Tea Party and 100 Onces in Oxford (review to come). If you're there, hope you're having a lovely time (he said, through gritted teeth). It's definitely one I'll be keeping an eye out for next year.
