Empire Of The Sun

[Messy]

I couldn't see another thread, so I thought I'd make one.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. They're down as TBC. One of the best new bands this year, and i'll be doing my best to make sure I catch them.

[eFestivals]

i believe it'll be their first UK gig (that's what I've heard, anyway).

[greenarmy69]

Me too cant wait.

[Blueboy78]

Best news i ave heard that

[disasterplan44]

I'd prefer the Sleepy Jackson but hey any of Luke Steele's guises is fine by me. Woooopppppp.

[PAH030]

One of my mates loves them, so i got the album on his recommendation.

I can't get into it at all.

Are they Aussie? They got in the Top 5 of the Triple J Top 100 and are on the radio all the time. If they are, then I highly expect them to play as nearly every other current electro Aussie band played last year...probably something to do with the fact that Glasto now features in the Top 25 things you must do in the UK Lonely Planet book! Got to please the visitors somehow eh?

Yes, they're a supergroup of sorts with Luke Steele from the Sleepy Jackson and one of the guys from PNAU. If you look back at last year's Glasto lineup they had Cut Copy and The Presets, I think PNAU wre there as well, from memory, as well as Sneaky Sound System.

I liked the single, but was distinctly unimpressed when I checked out a few of their other tracks.

[LusciousLucy]

Presets was packed with Aussies, all off their Sunday evening faaaaaaaaaaaces,

Great show ( as was Cut Copy)

[MikeyB37]

Me was there handing out Tim Tams to anyone in an Aussie flag tee! Twas crazy. Saw them in Syd only 2 weeks before that show too! Missed CC due to the delayed show during the Thursday Cider meet.

[disasterplan44]

I only saw Cut Copy out of all those - we'd just picked up, so I don't remember much of the set couldn't be arsed getting up for The Presets, whenever it was they were on. The Saturday or Sunday, from memory, fairly early on in the day I think.

[Joshuwarr]

Wow if its their first UK gig then I will definitely not miss it.

I am soooo happy about this!

Since getting the album I've not been able to stop listening. Really great songs for sitting in the sun with cider and friends!

Really looking forward to it!
