In Photos // Dan Deacon @ Islington Mill

Don't worry guys, I'm alive- freshers week didn't quite kill me off (although I did gain my second facial injury of the year, UGH)! I've been reuniting with everyone via corndog catch-ups, visits to friends' wonderful new apartments and working even harder, so much so that I swear I'll be glad to finally get back to uni! Also, Wednesday's #VICElaunch for The Weird Science Issue was super fun thanks to Girls on Film playing non-stop Madonna and Prince along with Lil Silva dropping Zomby to a load of confused first-years- oh and shoutout to Bench for the free drinks and giveaways! Last night, I also finally caught Dan Deacon live (Dent May supported too and he even did the infamous tunnel into the streets of Salford ♡) at one of my favourite venues ever involving Budvar and dance-offs; it was beautiful, no-one rocks a show like this man- some snaps are below! It's bloody good to be back, interviews coming soon!

In Photos // Vice Issue Launch @ Deaf Institute

So, the Vice issue launch last night was hilarious, I drank lots of gin and shouted at a girl for having this as her non-ironic ringtone, with Stay+ and Ghosting Season well and truly knocking it out the park. I also lost my flatmates for about two hours sometime after Midnight and inbetween I took some pictures which you can see below. I'm off to drink a LOT of green tea and recuperate before I head off to Leeds (Well, Wakefield) tomorrow to shoot Johnny Foreigner and The Vaselines (OMFG) and then onto Dot 2 Dot Monday. It's going to be hectic but phenomenal. Enjoy the jubilee and eat a scone on my behalf! X

#VICElaunch

If you follow this blog regularly (Sorry, Mum and Dad...) then you'll be aware that I'm part of the Vice Blogging network- and for May, in order to celebrate the launch of the 'It's actually quite weird' issue, Vice are yet again taking a whole host of superb acts and DJ's around the country for a party tour. At my city of Manchester, It's going down this Wednesday with Stay+ live at Deaf and I'll be dancing the night away taking snaps of you all snogging each other and falling over; PARTY ON WAYNE! (I'm definitely using this as my excuse that I deserve a night out after getting a 73% on my law essay, WINNING AT LIFE!) Oh and did I mention, it's free?! The tour for this months issue also features a whole allotment of other acts including Tempa T and Breton playing across eight other cities, so get yourself to one and pick up a copy if you can- not only for the freaky cover below but for the prodigious articles inside too. Here are some of my personal favourites', including 'Inside The Looney Disco' (A moving article about how the patients of a psychiatric hospital in Germany find release.), 'Lemon Party' (Via Vice Style and making me want to get a bath in citrus, thanks heatwave!), 'How To Bore Festival Hippies Into Submission' (OK, so this is from the Vice Festival Guide '12 but is still totally HILARIOUS.) and 'Pretty Girl Bullshit' (A regular column available on the site by Bertie Brandes and quite literally, shows her revoking girl power whilst answering numerous questions about the fairer sex, fabulous daaaaahling!). See y'all Wednesday! X
