Music Festivals - Recommend bands
 

Right I'm posting a link to the line up of a music festival I'm going to here, because I've noticed some bands I hadn't heard of mentioned by people I have similar taste to on here, for example LedZepStu talking about Clor, and I don't want to miss anything good. I reckon at least 3 of you know my music taste well enough by now, so if you could check out the line up and recommend some of the smaller bands if you think I'd like them that would be great.

Maybe I can repay the favour if anyone else if going to any festivals over the summer, stick a link up here. :)

well, which bands haven't you heard of?
and it seems the last day is a bit 'heavier' than the rest.

well...where to start. thats looks like an awesome line up.
the radio 1 stage looks really good.
first column dead 60s, DFA 79, blood brothers, and yes..THE SUBWAYS will all put on a great show.
second column arcade fire, the kills, NBA and HHH will be good. not a fan of the editors. cribs may well float your boat and of coarse theres dohertys band- always worth a look.
third column damn what a line up....duke spirit, willy mason and sons & daughters will be class. art brut are a bit too generic for my liking.
dresden dolls...im sure your aware how good they will be!

i notice bands at the bottom like "we are scientists", "dogs", "clor", "blood arm", "neon" and "the paddingtons". to me i'd imagine you like most of those bands. but the main gripe i have is...you get to see BRMC :mad:

I'm going to see them in July...but will they be good?

Cheers Stu, I shall be checking out Clor, the Subways and some of the other bands you recommend. I've seen BRMC 3 or 4 times now so I probably won't be seeing them. Met Robert Turner after the first gig, hanging around outside the ladies toilet - very rock and roll. I loved them then, NME style. He signed my entire arm and I refused to wash it for days. I'll probably regret telling that story but oh well... :o:

Saul Williams is really great, something a bit different, he is a poet but has moved into the trip-hop kind of genre but very good.

hes ok for a spoken word artist.

Just like to say Clor are awsome. They've been on mtv2 with zane and they're really good fun. Lots of things going on in their music. Have a listen to 'Good Stuff' if you can, that pretty much sums them up. sort of indie techno :P

also u mentioned Arctic Monkeys. I think they're definately gonna be big very soon, very catchy a bit like the futureheads

Peace & Love in Borlänge/Sweden
 

I wanna recommend the PEACE & LOVE FESTIVAL in Borlänge/Sweden which I will visit on July 8th and 9th. Guess, it'll be awesome! Loards of amazing swedish bands will play there like Sugarplum Fairy, The Ark, Moneybrother, Caesars, The Ark, The Mo, Melody Club, The Hellacopters...
AND OF COURSE MANDO DIAO!!!

i seriously don't understand your enthusiasm about mando diao...however, i'll see them in a month, they're supporting the white stripes...hehe...i'm gonna see the white stripes....he....hehe....

just like how I dont understand your enthusiasm for the White Stripes.

^ nice one. yeah, last day looks a bit heavier on the main stage, rest of the line up looks awesome.

mentioning the white stripes, who got the albumn today??

i heared a bit of it at a friends house and its ok but kinda average. Some good songs though like 'the denial twist'

By the way you talk, I see that you dunno a S.HIT!!! Well, u "listened" to their second album, but you haven't get "Bring'em In" yet (if u think "Hurricane Bar" is too poppy, "Bring'em In" is not, I promise) and all the gorgeous B-sides, but MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL: You don't saw them live, I did and it was AWESOME. But you will understand soon, just trust in me and remember what I said when u see their incredible Live-Show.

i wouldn't call it enthusiasm...i'm not really that into them, i like them but i don't trip out like some critics and call elephant a massive and cult album..it's ok too me, and 7th nation army is an awsome song, a couple of more good songs, but not a classic of rock as some would say...i'm just really looking forward to seeing them because it will be the biggest concert that i have been on....pathetic i know...but just remember where i live, big bands don't come arround these parts that often...

well if i still don't like them can i woop your ass...? :)

Hehe, we'll see...u won't, I'm sure.

i actually think elephant is a modern classic. certainly one of the best of the century so far.

This already passed right? So did you go?

Although there are tons of bands I don't like on the bill, I would have gone not only for the memories but also to see Iggy, the Dwarves (yey!!!), Blood Brothers (I don't think you'd like 'em), EATB, and Turbonegro (you might like these guys).

Btw, I'm seeing Comets on Fire, Mindless Self Indulgence, Toots & the Maytals, and Nekromantix all this month. :D :D :D

His 2019 release Encrypted & Vulnerable sounds like Elvis Costello tried to make a rap record.

lol the guy getting puked on seems pretty cavalier considering the situation.
