Last month, LA-based hardcore band Letlive - who released their widely-acclaimed new album ‘Fake History’ earlier this year - played what was meant to be a relatively low-key slot at Donington’s Download Festival. After an extraordinarily eventful and somewhat chaotic half an hour, the performance ended up becoming one of the most talked-about sets of the weekend. Stereoboard has since got in touch with Letlive to find out more about the incident straight from the horse’s mouth. The band’s bassist Ryan Jay Johnson kindly offered us his own version of events, although you may want to take a look at the video below to make up your own mind.
You were here in the UK a few weeks ago for Download Festival. Those of us who didn’t get to see the performance have been hearing stories about various altercations with security etc. So what really happened?
Jason actually flew in via parachute and the security guards were helping him down from the rafter his chute was snagged on, much to the surprise of onlookers. It was perceived as a scuffle of sorts. Whatever videos have been released were documenting the struggle to get out of certain parachute lines.

With a name like “Goodluck Jonathan”, I partially want them to deliver a terrible album, just so I can use the finisher “because you’re seriously going to need it!” Sadly, however, that’s not going to be any likelihood as, for all intents and purposes, this album’s pretty damn good.

Cats and Cats and Cats are one of those bands that it’s genuinely quite hard not to like. There’s something rather endearing about their unique spray of infectious math rock. Not ones to shy away from the more unusual, 'Mother Whale' sees Cats and Cats and Cats throw everything out of their palette and onto the canvas.

For those who chose the comfort of their own home to a muddy field and a sweaty tent, Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage headliners tend to be the centre of television coverage. But England’s muddiest festival boasts an eclectic wealth of acts, from the Wombles to Wutang Clan, from Tinie Tempah to Paul Simon. It would be physically impossible to see everyone on the bill that took your fancy, especially for those who spent most of the weekend inebriated. But the headliners weren’t the only tricks up Michael Eavis’ sleeve.

This years Glastonbury saw one of the most pop-influenced line-ups in the history of the festival. U2, Coldplay and Beyoncé were chosen by as headliners, notable for their mainstream popularity. For some, it was the last nail in the coffin, burying the festival six feet under commercialization; for others, it’s opened the weekend up to a shed load of new fans.
