Uxfest was awesome!

Hello! So.. it's Monday night, and I'm still recovering from the carnage of yesterday's Uxfest event in London, at the Islington Academy.
It was a MASSIVE event.. about 1000 peope showed up (it sold out!), and around 20 bands played. I didn't see all of them (of course), as bands were playing at the same time on different stages.. but thought that I would pop up a blog to mention two bands, in particular, that I thought were pretty awesome.
First up: Engel (from Sweden, featuring members of The Haunted). They were one of the only bands not from the UK, and travelled a really long way to come and play the fest - good lads! Check them out - proper, intense Swedish, stonky metal. You can find out more about them at their official site: www.engelpropaganda.com


Another good band during the day were Outcryfire (think that's one word..).. British dudes with some serious metal stodge, and a frontman that goes ape-shit and grins at people (which is always nice at a metal show).
Did a load of silly interviews in the disabled toilet (the quietest and emptiest place in the building) and perhaps Radio One Rock Show will nab some of those soon..
In the meantime, here is a pic of Outcryfire for your enjoyement. (Check them out for yourselves at www.outcryfire.co.uk



Byeeee!
