Following a weekend of such awesome live music at Ramblin' Man Fair, Mote Park, Maidstone, it's understandable that we are feeling the blues in an entirely different capacity here at Wrinkly Towers today after such a high. Anyway, to cheer us up we have put together our initial photo gallery here courtesy of our WRC members and of course Mr. Rockrpix (John Bull).

Well the weather was kinder as Austin, Texas, icons ZZ Top rounded off an excellent weekend of great music as headliners on the Ramblin' Man Fair Planet Rock Main Stage at Mote Park, Maidstone, last night. It was a day of superb performances, the one's we witnessed included Killit, Snakecharmer, Big Boy Bloater, Focus, Supersonic Blues Machine, The Qureboys, Massive and of course ZZ Top (pictured and Vid Of The Day). We also managed to interview Aaron Keylock and Killit so watch out for those audio interviews soon plus more pics and a review.

Despite the expected deluge, Ramblin Man Fair managed to keep its head above water yesterday as we took in excellent sets from The Nile Deltas, Jared James Nichols, Steve Harris British Lion (VOTD interview), Glenn Hughes and Scorpion Child, however the stand out performance was Kenny Wayne Shepherd (pictured) on the Four Roses Bourbon Outlaw Country Stage - which had nothing to do with being undercover - absolutely awesome. With Big Boy Bloater, Monster Truck, Supersonic Blues Machine, The Quireboys and ZZ Top on the agenda today - plus apparently good weather - it's going to be another great but hopefully dry day!

So watch our for those audio interviews over the coming week!

Over the band's 35-year career, Anthrax have sold in excess of 10-million units, received multiple Gold and Platinum certifications, six Grammy nominations and a host of other accolades from the media, industry and fans. In 1991, their music helped break down race and genre barriers when they collaborated with Public Enemy on 'Bring The Noise'. And, of course, along with Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth, Anthrax helped pioneer the Thrash/Metal genre as a member of The Big Four. Anyway, today's Vid Of The Day is from their current hit album 'For All Kings', which hit the world charts on #8.
