Ive lost track of the amount of times Ive seen Feeder perform at festivals now, but you cannot fault their reliable consistency to produce a brilliant set time and time again.
Rather like fellow 90s survivors Ash, Feeder are now as much an expected part of the festival scene as lager and tents.
Feeder are currently promoting their latest album, a collection of singles chartering their 10 year affiliation with the charts. This pretty much dictates the course of the set with earlier material being shunted in favour of the bands sickly sweet back catalogue of not too offensive hits.
Unfortunately this means that weve lost such poignant greats as Descend and have had it replaced with the feeble meandering Tumble & Fall. The crowd love it though and it encourages the biggest sing a long of the day so far.
Come Back Around, Pushing the Senses, and the fantastic Save Us all make appearances early on.
They are still touring as a four piece, which gives Grant a bit more freedom and adds a bit of depth to the band. Buck Rogers was an inevitable crowd favourite and a pre-recorded acoustic intro indicated the opening of Seven days in the sun. Both Echo Park tracks were received wonderfully.
The glaring absence of High would have been noted by quite a few people who still regard the bands early single as something of a festival anthem.
Just the way Im feeling and the brilliant high energy Lost and Found both featured with Feeder settling on Just a Day to close the set. No surprises here other than the fact Grant and Taka still seem completely over the moon to be performing. They clearly love festivals and conversely festivals love them.
