Hope you’ve all had a
great 2 weeks, we were at LES FEST in Lanarkshire last
Friday/Saturday/Sunday and with limited internet access couldn’t
post our Sunday blog and video! Here’s what has been happening
though . . .
LES
FEST - ROCK AND METAL FESTIVAL – 29/30 JUNE 2012
A
good time was had by us all at LES FEST – Scotland’s first ever
music festival dedicated solely to ROCK and METAL – which took
place in Crossford, Lanarkshire (Valley International Park). Friday
night had a completely metal vibe with Attica Rage headlining and
Saturday was dedicated to more mainstream rock. We played on the
Saturday night alongside Krybgrinder, Praying Mantis, the Amorettes,
and many more up and coming UK bands, click on

for more information. Thanks to Dave Ritchie and his team for
organising a great event and an amazing festival. Here’s to LES
FEST 2013! Take a look at the video above to see our set last
Sunday!
SURFACE
FESTIVAL
As many of you will know, Estrella has been taking part in this year’s Surface Festival (www.surfacefestival.com). BECAUSE OF ALL YOUR TEXT VOTES FOR ESTRELLA (THANK YOU !!!!) WE HAVE MADE IT THROUGH STAGES 1 AND 2 AND ARE NOW IN THE SEMI FINALS!!!! We heard last night that this will be taking place on SUNDAY 29 JULY in GLASGOW’S STAIRWAY (95 Union Street) live music venue. Tickets for the gig can be bought from www.estrellamerch.bigcartel.com
Surface has been a good experience for us so far. We’ve met lots of great bands since taking part and have picked up some new fans in the Glasgow area too! Alex Baker from Kerrang Radio unsigned show has also given the festival his thumbs up too "The Surface Festival gives bands a genuine opportunity to get their music in front of people in the industry that can help further their careers. The best bands WILL inevitably rise to the top . . . The prizes offered for the winning band and runners up are just fantastic and the experience all the bands gain from playing larger venues is priceless."
As we mentioned in our
last blog, we played the WORLD’S SHORTEST STREET - pictures of the
gig are already on our facebook page (www.facebook.com/estrellarocks)
but click on the link –

– to see some live video footage of the gig. We had
hoped we’d be on STV News but Aberdeen Football Club decided to
take on a new player so I’m afraid our shortest street gig got the
boot! LOL. Never mind maybe next time!
