Candid Fever did what Candid Fever does best: watch band after band whilst swigging jagermeister from a plastic bottle...
Now in its fifth year, Kendal Calling is getting bigger and better as the summers go on, proving to be a charming home for unknowns and big stars alike. This year Candid Fever did what Candid Fever does best: watch band after band whilst swigging jagermeister from a plastic bottle to keep the insides warm, even when the outside was freezing cold and soaking wet.
I put up a tent with Tin Can's Jayne Robinson; it fell down the next day. So then, we put it back up, we got blisters breaking in our new wellies, we got rib ache laughing from laughing gas, we ate way too many space cakes and ignored our essential vitamin intake, we didn't have a torch, umbrella or an ounce of sense between us. That's not all though, that'd just be bloody rude; I captured two of my favourite acts playing in case you were sat at home doing some thing rubbish, like ironing your socks or platting your beard. Well get giddy saddos, now you can join in with the northern fun too!
See ex Million Dead front man Frank Turner (who the fuck else REALLY misses Million Dead?) set his vocals alight (there was a lengthy technical hitch which made our Frankie play acoustic for a while there - the dude has got volume!) and DIY-yet-somehow-mainstream-radio-playlisters The King Blues prove within seconds that they've got more energy than any mad fucker drinking that ridiculous radio active Rockstar energy drink.
Kendal is a tiny festival, with a mere 4,000 attendees; it's not your regular mid-summer fight to the bar. Why, I'd even call it cosy. And in that cosy atmosphere, I got to hear the sounds of The Streets, The Sunshine Underground, Nine Black Alps, Corner Shop, Red Light Company, Fight Like Apes, Tunng and Ash. Now, in case you were all wondering what Tim from Ash would sound in the guest bar at 1am, doing acoustic covers of, well anything, as long as someone is willing to watch, the answer is obvious: fucking embarrassing and seriously shit.
Back to the good times though, get watching our alt punk fellas Frank Turner and The King Blues do their thing.
