Suggestions for 2009 line up?

[llcoolphil]

hehe ive never seen them, i just really like that latest single. i gather they're kind of pseudo goth, and dont go down very well with some audiences, in a similar manner to how people laughed at the manics circa generation terrorists.

[Kaybee]

Don't hold back Phil, did you like them or not?

[andyblack]

i had a similar experence watching `and you will know us by the trail of the dead` at reading in 2001. i just stood, with the majority of the audience, in complete bewilderment at the cacophony being performed in front of us.

i've got a sneaking feeling there will be somewhat of a horrors renaissance, judging by conor mcnicholas seeming love of them on twitter.

808 STATE PLEEEEEASE FOR INDOOR HEADLINERS

ALSO THE WHIP, SUNSHINE UNDERGROUND AND A RETURN FOR WHITEST BOY ALIVE tickets for their two upcoming shows are like gold dust

[Ed Leaf]

Did you just say 808 State? Good man.

[andyblack]

they're touring at the moment as well.

[LeeRaynor]

I see Lamb are doing some festival dates this Summer - SSW fits nicely in their schedule between the Big Chill and Beautiful Days. Great to see them again...

Posted it on the facebook page, but I've noticed that in post 91 above someone had preceded me:

the pains of being pure at heart (who are playing at the Musician in May, by the way, great call whoever booked them there )

[andyblack]

ok, slightly off tilt, but for those of you asking from leicester asking for drever, mccusker and woomble. ian magic teapot has just announced they'll be the last people to play a gig ever at the Phoenix...

I'd like to see The Mystery Jets as they couldn't make it last year and I still enjoy their album Twenty One. Also as there's usually a token 70's/80's band (I refer to The Blockheads & The Buzzcocks) howabout Chas & Dave this year?

[andyblack]

loop? as in robert hanson & james endeacott's loop? god they havent reformed have they?

I would like to agree with the majority and am very happy with line-up so far. Looks like another cracker. St etienne a touch of genius.

Would like to add another shout for Mystery Jets they owe us one and would add a welcome bit of cheer.

Would love to see Shed Seven there also - would be amazing - any chance Richard? ... please...

My random shout outs would be;

The Rifles

Rumblestrips...(again)

The Sounds

Quantic Soul Orchestra

Ed Harcourt

Five o Clock Heroes

and for a bit of an arguement -

Skunk anansie... ( newly reformed) ... or at least a solo acoustic set from Skin who has a great voice.

Keep up the good work Richard et al

(Pay day = ticket purchased today! get in!) Please bring the PIMMs bus back

[butchwade]

I know they've played before, but I'd love to see Kissmet at SSW again!

[alfie672]

lots of good new music around at the minute

Heres a few shouts some of my favorite bands of the moment........

Some probably unlikely.

Little Joy (saw them in January. Great band would be even better in the sunshine and perfect for summer sundae)

Black Mountain

Cat power

Band Of Horses

Ben Kweller

Shins

Bat For lashes

The Kills

Fleet Foxes

Travelling Band

William Elliot Whitmore

[SweepingTheNation]

Grizzly Bear, Dirty Three and Andrew Bird (and The Phantom Band) added for Green Man, one week later? Hmm...

[seantizz]

Both of the new records by Grizzly Bear and Andrew Bird are most enjoyable - been listening to them a great deal this year...

They'd be lovely additions...

Sean

[danceonfire]

Grizzly bear would be fantastic. Only just got into them.

Im also hoping for Doves.

[simonphilipcouchman]

OK, now i've my tickets, ill throw my two pennies worth in

Loney, Dear - Dear John is a suberb album

Okkeril River would also be great

Polly Scattergood

Air France

Mew - Go On, it'll rock!

Ed HArcourt

Turin Brakes

The Little Ones

Kate Walsh

White Lies

The Dears

Little Boots will probably be a big sumer pop hit

On a limb, i think Erasure would be great (if a bit expensive)

Oh, and if youre a magican, then get

FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS, imagine it, a field all singing 'business time' or "bowies in space"

And we could all do a roll call - Present!

or She & Him

or M83

or Dodos

and get back Mr Rod Thomas, his gig last yar was great and put me onto a fab emerging talent. He's just done tracks with BoomBip so his star should be rising by August.

Er, thats it, i'll go away now!
