The festival opened well, apart from a short interlude when someone set a fire alarm off. Three bands played last night: Trauma Pet, Glis and Panzer AG. Trauma Pet did their best to imitate Goldfrapp, but didn't really pull it off. Glis produced some very dancable EBM, to which the crowd duly obliged. Panzer AG put on a driving set of industrial metal, the blending of genres feeling excitingly fresh at times and just down right rawking at others.

I left at two, due to an early start today, but I got to enjoy a good bit of hard industrial in the Underground, populated by Kryogenix from Nottingham. The DJs played a fair bit of music that diverged from what I've grown used to from the Edinburgh clubs, similarly the different crowd brought in by the festival proved to be even more crazy than usual. The Terrace bar still looks like a school disco.
