Why is Bryan’s band the only one there I’ve heard of?

Acoustic Butterfly are AMAZING. My very favourite Glaswegian folk group by far.
Hyena played the Vale once, can't remember for the life of me what they were like though.

Hyena sound like Dinosaur Jr. Triple School sounds like hot snakes, so I'm looking forward to that. Signals By semaphore is most of th dudes from the 44s and play post rock stuff, Vom are krautrock via the melvins. Nackt Insecten and Kylie Minoise sound like Hair dryers. Gummy Stumps are arty. The rest I've never heard of before.
I think the set up of the festival, is friday is noisy rock n roll, saturday is indie schmindy and sunday is acousticy and quiet. | |

I was about to have a moan about how it'd be class having Black Rat, Hyena, Triple School and Vars of Litchi on the one day for the sake of not spending more money than I needed...but then my eyes started working properly and I realised it's free entry. Bonus!
