		<title>Easy Star All-Stars — Sziget 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some of you may remember that we have already brought you one review of Easy Star All-Stars this year, but just in case you haven’t had chance to read it, or have forgotten, here’s a quick recap.
Easy Star All-Stars are a New York reggae band who specialise in covers of famous rock albums. So far, they’ve released “Dub Side of the Moon”, a reggae version of Pink Floyd’s epic Dark Side of the Moon, still widely acknowledged as one of their best. Their version of Money has bubbling and coughing ...]]></description>

		<title>Ska-P — Sziget Festival</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Both of the first two bands we’re reviewing from Sziget Festival are foreign — Kispál és a Borz were Hungarian, Ska-P are Spanish. As with Kispál, this meant that a lot of the patter and banter was lost on me, unfortunately. Ska-P are a very politically vocal band, and this is reflected in their performance — the set ran the gamut from their pro-drug hit “Cannabis”, to their anti-Zionist “Intifada”, and covered animal rights as well, with rather graphic imagery to really bring their point home; the two screens either ...]]></description>

		<title>Kispál és a Borz — Sziget 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kispál és a Borz, frequently referred to as just Kispál (pronounced kishpal) were Hungary’s largest alternative rock band, founded just before the fall of communism in Hungary in the country’s fifth largest city, Pécs (pronounced paytch), which represents a hotbed of cultural and artistic activity within Hungary. Their performance on Day –1 at Sziget is perhaps even more hotly anticipated within Hungary than the rest of the festival, not least because the band are splitting up, and this is to be their final concert.
Over the course of the day, people ...]]></description>

		<title>I’m A Private In A Private Army</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While I was at Tramlines, something happened which made me think long and hard about the role of security at an event. What are they really there for? I came up with a few theories. The first idea I mulled over was that they’re just there to be bastards to us all, and to make the gig a little bit worse for everyone going. I think a lot of people would agree with me on that one. There’s a legal obligation to provide security at events, so their jobs are ...]]></description>

		<title>Tramlines Festival 2010</title>

The festival is spread out over fifty or so different venues across the town centre, with Devonshire Green, a 9000 square metre area in the city, home to the main stage, with a capacity of 8,000 people. Headliners this year included Mystery Jets, Echo &#38; The Bunnymen, ...]]></description>

		<title>Infected Mushroom — I started when I was about 15 at my late grandmother’s house</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With less than two weeks to go until the start of the festival, we bring you this week’s Spotlight On: Sziget 2010, focussing on the Israeli psychedelic trance group, Infected Mushroom. The band started out with only two members, Erez Eisen (I.Zen) and Amit Dudevani (Dudev) in 1998 in northern Israel. Since then, they have been joined by three others to form the most recent line-up, that used for “Legend of the Black Shawarma”.
Their first forays into the world of music together were made in 1998, and they looked to ...]]></description>
