Earlier this year, there were news stories about how this year's festival line ups would look with all the all-male bands removed. (Clue: the answer is 'a bit shit'.)

Once again, I have been off and Done A Thing I want To Write Up, and then not found time for the writing. As I've mentioned before, I have to keep track of festivals or ChrisC and I have arbitrary arguments about which bands we saw, usually about ten years after the fact.

So, off to Derbyshire for the music-, steam-engine-, beer- and owl-fest that is Indietracks.

Friday
[Spearmint], The Chills, Allo Darlin'

I'm so happy I could throw things around )

Saturday
Ace City Racers, [Skeletal Shakes], The Royal Landscaping Society, MJ Hibbett and the Validators, [Thee Ahs], ONSIND, [Linda Guilala], [Dorotea], The Blue Minkies, Alpaca Sports (acoustic), Spook School, [Joanna Gruesome], The Popguns, Dean Wareham, Gruff Rhys.

Though this band is awful I like them an awful lot )

Sunday
[Axalotes Mexicanos], The Swapsies, The Thyme Machine, [No Ditching], The Wendy Darlings, Bordeauxx, The Hobbes Fan Club, Cosines, Flatmates, Martha (acoustic), [Sweet Baboo], The Just Joans, [Mega Emotion], Withered Hand, Hidden Cameras.

I could stay for ever, hanging out )

At the weekend I went to Indietracks, the tiny indiepop festival held at the site of a preserved steam railway in Derbyshire. I've never been before.

And, do you know what? I really, really enjoyed it. And as a result, I'm going to write about it in excruciating detail. Read at own risk.

Friday

This is the good stuff, this is music for girls )

Saturday
