\"\"<\/a>Well, we’re almost there folks its Sunday on our preview and by now there will be sore heads, aching limbs, sunburn, and ringing ears and aching jaws from having such a good time and laughter that’s usually how Sunday pans out but not necessarily in that order. By now you will have got the hang of how to best navigate your way through the Winter Garden and how best to avoid the heat and there will be some who are only now getting into the swing of things and only just warming up.\u00a0 We’ve already opened a book as to what state our friends Trigger Mcpoopshute<\/a> will be in before they hit the introducing stage.\u00a0 I just hope Blackpool has enough Special Vat on tap because they will find it and the Karaoke bar.\u00a0 Anyway, I digress.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On with the show.\u00a0 first up will no doubt be a very early start for many as Hands Off Gretel<\/a> hit the Empress Stage between 12:50pm – 1:30 pm. With their recent album and live shows, they’ve had plenty of praise around these parts and it’ll be great to catch them on such a big stage and big room compared to the tight confines of Clwb Ifor Bach. But wait, get your time warp daps on because there are more clashes than outside a Swansea v Cardiff derby.\u00a0 1.55 also sees our mates the wonderful Kopek Millionaires<\/a> return to the festival in the Opera House and hang on those Welsh herberts Trigger McPoopshute are also kicking up a shitstorm over on the introducing stage at 1.15 and if you shout loud enough I’m sure they’ll play ‘Sheep’ and my favourite ‘Skidmarks & Spencer’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It’s just not fair because Pizzatramp<\/a> will be causing offense and singing songs about Goths at 2 pm over at Club Casbah or whinging about having their fuckin’ backs being fucked and calling Bono names but I can guarantee they will be entertaining and totally crushing the room.\u00a0 Next up for me will be those filthy garage punk noise bringers Rotten Foxes<\/a> again on the introducing stage where double denim hot pants will no doubt be the order of the day and songs about Danny Dyer will be belted out for the gathered masses. Around the same time, The Svetlanas<\/a> will also be delivering the noise over in The Ballroom and they went down very well last year. You could stay put and chill because up next is the pop punk of Teenage Bottlerockets<\/a> in the Empress. Or no doubt like many will head over to Club Casbah for your annual fix of Dirtbox Disco<\/a> at 5.10 pm. If you haven’t had enough Hands Off Gretel frontwoman Lauren Tate will be putting on an Acoustic performance in Almost Acoustic but I’d imagine you’d have to get there early as it will be busy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s still very early evening and hopefully, you should be just warming up by about now and pacing yourself.\u00a0 You’ll hopefully have just taken in a bunch of new bands on your radar and awaiting some more established bands who will be along later.\u00a0 There are a dozen bands playing the Introducing Stage on Sunday many of whom I’ll admit to not having heard but will always dip in because its stages like this where the future headliners might come from and who knows, your new favourite band.\u00a0 Isn’t that the beating heart of what Rebellion Festival<\/a> is all about?\u00a0 You can stay in one venue all day long and come across a whole gambit of bands some you’ll love some you’ll know the name of but have never heard them and others will blow you away and all indoors under the same roof alongside friendly staff who make it such a special place to watch alternative music night after night after night. Anyway, I digress.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Witchdoktors<\/a> play their garage punk rock n roll just before Foreign Legion<\/a> kicks in with their Oi! infused street punk.\u00a0 Weaving around the stages takes some skills that you should no doubt be a Jedi master at by this point so negotiating Conflict<\/a>, DOA<\/a> and then King Kurt<\/a> will be a piece of piss right?\u00a0 Yeah right.\u00a0 and if you’re still in one piece The Motherchuffin’ Dwarves<\/a> are taking the Casbah stage home tonight and will no doubt devastate what’s left of the audience.\u00a0 I see they’re down for a 55-minute set so it looks like they’re playing twice then kids \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
