Important Announcement

For those of you who didn’t get the memo yet: this year’s official summer anthem will be supplied by Jack Peñate. I repeat: Jack Peñate. On his résumé you will find every single dark, smelly London club you can imagine, fitting the image of any bloke-with-guitar-and-thick-local-accent.
The memo was sent by someone who is jointly responsible for this year’s Lowlands line-up and apparently immediately booked the guy, most likely for a half-an-our gig in the Lima tent. This guy I’m talking about is almost genius, if it wasn’t for the fact that by the time Lowlands kicks off, Jack Peñate will already be majorly hyped. For those of you who were there last year, remember The Kooks performing in the India tent? Those guys should have swapped places with (and this will be the first and the last time this band is mentioned on Ulkedoof) Panic! At The Disco, who bored the audience at the main stage to death for over 40 minutes.
Anyways, Jack Peñate, Jack Peñate, Jack Peñate. He released an EP called Spit At Stars (kudos), containing ‘something for everyone’. The title track is obviously a big hit, but the song which will drive you mad in a way you will find yourself violently expelling it from your brain by the beginning of October, will be Second, Minute or Hour, which is not on the EP, but will obviously be re-released at least two or three times. Just so you know.
