Honourable mentions to John Butcher in Bristol and the Arditti quartet in Bath.

Laetitia Sadier

Yob @ Roadburn

blunderbuss · 12.24.2010, 10:29 AM

Didn't go to many this year, but No Fun Acid stands out a long way ahead of any of the others that I saw.

Honorable mention also goes to Bardo Pond and Dead C.

Disappointment of the year: missing Gate due to a heavy cold.

loubarret · 12.24.2010, 12:44 PM

Missing gate through having a fever......
Swans, Lichens, Nadja, Shellac and naked on the vague i guess

Mono
Kylesa
X-TG
Ulver

Still bummed for missing Shellac and The Fall, though.

Don't be to bummed about missing the fall, I heard they were very medi core on their last tour at best on the Benelux dates.
