V Festival sideshows

With every decent sized festival that hits our shores, which (in a recent survey) was calculated as one every 14 minutes, there is usually a whole load of sideshows. The Richard Branson funded music festival known as 'V' is no different with the news that all of the headline acts will be branching off and somewhat 'doing their own thing'.

There are also a whole bunch of Modest Mouse sideshows as well.

And the dates for the actual festival again..

i think i've been to too many gigs so far this year as none of these are really making me want to buy a ticket...even though seeing JAMC would be cool.

Although this song (fantastically titled 'Sick Sick Sick') will undoubtably get overplayed and tiresome very quickly - for now .. I am loving it. #
