Faith No More, Biffy Clyro and more confirmed for the Edge Festival
NME.com has reported today that legendary rock band Faith No More will make their first live appearance in Scotland in ten years at this year’s Edge Festival on August 25th at the Corn Exchange in Edinburgh. The Edge festival is the renamed annual T On The Fringe Festival which coincides with the Edinburgh Festival.
The news comes as a welcome surprise to many Faith No More fans who were convinced that, following the band’s bitter split in the late 90s, there was little chance of ever seeing the group perform again. However, the announcement that the band were getting back together was made earlier this year and a legion of rock fans across the world soiled themselves in glee. British fans have recently had their first chance to see the reformed legends at the 2009 Download Festival, just two weeks ago. Almost unanimously regarded as a triumphant return to form, the band’s career-spanning set certainly bodes well for the remainder of their British shows this year.
Also confirmed for the Edge Festival this August are Biffy Clyro, who play the Corn Exchange just a few days before Faith No More on the 21st. The Scottish three piece will be showcasing material from their forthcoming fifth album (due for release this Autumn) in front of what is sure to be a rabid, sold out crowd. Those unable to get tickets for this special one off show will have an opportunity to see the band in October and November when they head out on a full UK and Ireland tour.
Other acts playing the Edge Festival include Frank Turner, Broken Records, Enter Shikari, The Bluetones and David Byrne among many others. For more information visit www theedgefestival.com.

I agree lets cheer the girls on Be proud but we must also live in reality,the reality is there are not six girls returning but ten, and of those ten, eight of them players have played select or club soccer. They pay to play, to be coached, to travel all over Texas , and the United States, they play all year. By the time they graduate High School their parents will have paid enough money out of pocket to send them to college for two years. It is not Bastrops fault that they were thrown into a bracket full of 3-A teams but it is unlucky really, you dont get better by playing weak teams you get strong by playing stronger teams.soccer is usually won by one goal if the two teams are evenly matched, by the scores that Bastrop is putting up , they are the stronger team, but the teams they are playing dont have a roster like ours, they dont have select players, and for a few of the schools this is there first year offering girls soccer. Living in reality again: when they do make it to the playoffs and go against a team that has had to work to get there what will happen then.
OTOH, he is immune if he surrenders, and may not be punished for acts of war, even though such acts would be capital crimes for a civilian. This benefit may even be extended to rebels acting without the sanction of any recognized government, such as Confederate soldiers in the American Civil War, or American Indians. (After the Sioux Uprising of 1862, President Lincoln pardoned 265 of the 303 Indians captured: all those not guilty of rape or murder of civilians, even if they had killed soldiers.)
