Britannia Rules the Waves


"Carrion"

If you find yourself in the U.K.: British Sea Power, possibly the world's most underappreciated (and most eccentric) band, are hosting a three day festival at the Tan Hill Inn, described by The Quietus as being "the highest hostelry in all England." For £50 (presently a hair under $100 American), you can see three BSP performances, "husky racing, duck herding, a pub quiz and an attempt to record the loudest ever human voice." Additionally the band will be debuting their own locally-brewed nut brown ale, the proceeds from which will be directed to charity. From August 29-31, in scenic North Yorkshire, England.
