Latitude

Huw Stephens invited us to play the Lake Stage at Latitude 2008, we had an amazing time - the festival is so well organised and it's good to see people putting in effort to organise something so unique to all the others. We brought some balloons but couldn't get them all blown up in time, it's a lot harder than it looks! Plenty ended up in the crowd though.

We want to say thanks to Phil who worked at Latitude for helping us put our tents up. For the record everyone we are capable of putting up tents, but it was great having someone there to check you're ok, all the staff were really helpful.

We saw ace bands on Saturday + Sunday like Soko / Noah and the Whale / Grinderman / Breeders / Tim and Sam's Tim and the Sam Band with Tim and Sam / Blondie / Lykke Li / Wave Pictures / The Voluntary Butler Scheme / Johnny Flynn.

Here's the lovely crowd, look at you all! And here's the Voluntary Butler sign lady too! And Harri playing kazoo on Shoulder.

THANK YOU to Huw for allowing us and some other really great up+coming bands to play at Latitude without having to go through a silly battle of the bands friends voting process like all the other festivals seem to be doing these days or to suck up to someone who knows someone who knows someone etc.. . it's the only UK festival we were asked to play this year (all the others just didn't reply!) so we really really appreciate being given a chance - THANKS HUW! xxx
