Thank fuck I'm going to Reading - I used enough of my energy making sure I couldn't see or hear them for one second at V and they're not worth the effort.

That's the best news i've heard since i read that Shitknot have canecelled leeds/reading festival...Saw the Pigeons at V festival (staffs) last weekend and they are well worth a watch....The band is very entertaining and has plenty of energy all the way through their show, and every tune is a belter! Just watch out for the water bottles (and microphone) getting launched off the stageI can't wait to see them again on Thursday...
