NewsFflam festival is cancelledThe Fflam Festival has been completely cancelled for 2007, it has been announced today (August 2). The event was due to take place earlier in the summer (July 13-15) in Swansea, but was postponed due bad weather, making it impossible for organisers to set the site up in time. However the festival, which was due to be headlined by Manic Street Preachers, Keane and Placebo, has now been called off completely. "It is with great regret that we confirm the cancellation of the Fflam Festival for 2007," explained organisers in a statement. "After the initial postponement due to torrential weather conditions, we have made every possible effort to try and secure a new date for the festival this summer. Unfortunately, we cannot find a date that suits all parties and due to artist availability, we are not in a position to deliver the brilliant line-up of bands we always intended if we go ahead." They added they were giving up on 2007, but would look to stage the festival next year. "At this stage, we are left with no option but to cancel the festival for 2007 and put all our efforts into making it a huge success in 2008," they explained. "We would like to thank all the people in the local community who have stuck by us and supported us throughout the past couple of months. For those who bought tickets, full refunds will be available from point of purchase." Black Rebel Motorcycle Club play Camden Crawl Black Rebel Motorcycle Club played a headlining set tonight (April 19) at the first of their two Camden Crawl gigs. Leading the way at the Underworld venue, the band who headlined the Astoria the night before squeezed into the tiny basement room for the Fallout Records hosted bash. Coming onstage to chants of "Rebel, rebel", the band tore into a relentless, hard driving set that mixed live favourites with their forthcoming fourth album 'Baby 81'. With the likes of 'Whatever Happened To My Rock N Roll (Punk Song)' and 'Stop' triggering a frenzy in the crowd, the band inspired wave upon wave of crowd surfers at the sweaty venue. Having played new song 'Took Out A Loan' from practically the front row - almost having his bass accidentally kicked out of his hands by a stray foot belonging to an enthusiastic surfer - singer Robert Levon Been praised the audience's energy. "You guys are the greatest fuckers, God bless you and maybe see you tomorrow," he declared, referencing the band's second appearance tomorrow (April 20). Earlier The Cooper Temple Clause had been due to play ahead of the headliners, but blaming the old classic of "unforeseen circumstances" the band pulled their appearance and were replaced by DJs.

Meanwhile NME.COM will be back in Camden tomorrow (April 20) for the second day of this year's bash, so stay tuned for more. |
