“We haven’t mellowed,” proclaims Jesus Lizard frontman David Yow, with more than a hint of pride. “My wife makes fun at how dark and menacing it is, but I don’t see it that way. We write what we write because that’s what we write.” Although the band reunited in 2009 to play live, forthcoming album Rack will be their first for 26 years. “We pick up right where the last record left off,” says guitarist Duane Denison. “Some of the songs are even based on ideas we had from that era.” JIMI HENDRIX, A BIG STAR CD, GILLIAN WELCH,...

Say what you like about End Of The Road, but it’s surely the only festival where a comedian can venture a bit of ad-hoc new material about The Blue Orchids. This is Stewart Lee, of course, down on the Talking Heads stage, attempting to “establish a liberal consensus that dissolves on contact with the outside world”. It’s strictly one-in-one-out to hear him wring ever more nuanced laughs from some of his greatest hits (“These days, you say you’re English…”), even if he contends that most people are only there to watch him die trying to get back up the...
When Yo La Tengo are having a shocker of a show, they don’t smash up their gear, abuse the audience or storm offstage to trash the dressing room. They simply, and very quietly, keep playing. In extremis. JIMI HENDRIX, A BIG STAR CD, GILLIAN WELCH, FONTAINES D.C.

Semi-famous musicians passing through the Garden Stage area being thoroughly ignored in favour of End Of The Road’s real rockstars – the peacocks… Blue Lake on the Boat stage managing to tune into the same key as the nearby ferris wheel… The brilliant Song Gallery: a one-person listening cabin where you could immerse yourself in an uplifting new anthem by The Golden Dregs… Advertisement The reality-warping Alice Through The Looking Glass pub game arena, featuring boomerang skittles, a very long pool table and the six way ‘ping-pong thunderdome’… Click here for all our End Of The Road coverage A...
Saturday starts with a surprise: an unannounced midday solo set from Julia Jacklin on End Of The Road‘s Garden Stage. Her stark confessionals can be almost uncomfortably intimate, especially at this early hour, but Jacklin is a winning presence, especially when ambushed with a birthday cake (she turns 34 today). “So much attention all at once!” she blushes.

It’s Brown Horse’s first time on a big festival stage, but they instantly feel like they belong, their rich accordion-and-pedal-steel-assisted...
If End Of The Road can sometimes be a sonic whiskey sour – fiery but rewarding – Saturday brings some welcome froth. “Let’s rock this psych track!” yell The Lemon Twigs from the Woods stage. “I hope nobody gets a bad trip from this one.” Little knowing perhaps that their Rubber Soul version of psychedelia is significantly breezier than the sort of head-crushing sounds the peacocks of Larmer Tree Gardens have grown to love over the years.
