What new bands have you discovered/enjoyed since line-up announcement or TBC?

[Brave Sir Robin]

Seun Kuti and in a similar vein the Shaolin Afronauts.

[siblin]

Public Service Broadcasting - kind of funky public service broadcasts really.

Metronomy - Hot Chippy?

[Vanderlyle]

They played last year. They have got a gap between an American tour ending mid-june and some Scandinavian festival dates in July, so you never know, could appear again, especially with a new album to promote.

I'd be happy to see them!

The gig was " Live at Somerset house" on the Wonderful Electric tour. I doubt though we'll see a lot of it. I posted the set list from the current tour in a Goldfrapp thread. You'll hear " lovely head" and " Utopia" and " Strict Machine" ( of course ) and possibly " Train". Alison has dropped her overtly sexier stage presence seen in that video ( sadly ) . It's going to be an almost Acoustic set if the new album is anything to go by, so it will be interesting to see where they fit now.

There's a few that I've discovered and enjoyed but none have made me think 'Wow, how have I never listened to these before!'

John Grant - Initially enjoyed but after a while I find listening to him to be a bit of a chore.

The War on Drugs - Latest album is pleasant enough. Don't understand the masterpiece reviews it seems to get though.

Courtney Barnett - Raw at the moment as she doesn't seem to be into recording and her EP seems to be a lot of songs in demo stage but enjoyable none the less.

Temples, my flatmate and I have really got into them since the lineup announcement

They are similar to Tame Impala. They sound a lot like 60s/70s psychedelic Beatles/Pink Floyd but in a more modern, indie template

[jpeee]

Lots on here for Wolf Alice, hope they get a good slot great live band. Deffo recommend live sets from Parquet Courts, Danny brown & Angle Haze (now that's a live show!)

As for me, really looking forward to seeing Coutney Barnett, Daptone Super Soul Revue with Charles Bradley.. and M.I.A who i've always manged to miss...

[pentura]

Was just about to suggest Courtney Barnett. That EP is very nice. Avant Gardener is a great song...

[DL50]

I saw Wolf Alice in a pub in Reading last year, the lead girl is really hot

I'm really enjoying The War on Drugs as well, they sound like a cross between Bruce Springsteen and The Cure

Where do people think they will play? Mid John Peel Stage or The Park maybe?

[FloorFiller]

really hoping Park for The War On Drugs, although they could easily slot into the John Peel as well

OMG, WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF BEANS ON TOAST BEFORE!!! Utter genius!

[davefrompompey]

Cant write a song for toffee and I cry for all the talent out there that would love the slots this guy gets each year. Listening to his music is akin to eating a full ashtray.

[abu hamster]

Cynical see honest. I only just hear The TuNeYarDs (thats annoying)
