Stag & Dagger // London


The impossible dilemma of any city festival, particularly one that lasts but a day, is reaching that point of acceptance. The understanding that no matter what you do or how fast you think you can walk, you're resigned to the fact that you just can't see it all and, if you try, you'll spend more time outside venues than in.

London's leg of Stag & Dagger on Friday 21st, with its 21 Shoreditch venues, promises just such warring frustrations and pleasures. While on the one hand Wild Palms and We Have Band will be pleasuring the attendees at Hoxton Bar & Kitchen, those very people may only speculate on Django Django's genre shuffling at Queen of Hoxton or Spectrals' enchanting lo-fi loveliness at Jaguar Shoes.

Much to ponder. Here's a Spectrals related tempter to enjoy in the meantime.
