day splits...

[gregory]

thanks to the eFests mailout...

[SweepingTheNation]

Even though I'd already seen this I hadn't spotted something quite glaring until now. They're still on the official site and it's still on their Myspace but... Noisettes?

I seriously hope that there is no problem with the Noisettes.. that'd be so disappointing..

Also noticed that the Airborne Toxic Event get two colours for their name.. greedy blaggers...

Karima Francis is also missing

[popaction!]

Does anyboy know what time the festival kicks off on Friday?

We are hoping to come down and catch our friends, The Breakdowns, but it looks like they might be on first on Friday. Don't know what stage either.

Thanks!

[gregory]

agreed, would be disappointed if noisettes don't show up

Last year the main stage started at 3pm and indoor 3.30pm.

the noisettes have indeed pulled out this week, as Kate pointed out, the record company has pulled them to play US gigs instead (i guess they're trying to break the US).

i believe attempts are being made to find a suitable replacement

This may not be a bad thing, wasn't too fussed about them. They were meant to be on before Charlatans & St Ettienne. Maybe their replacement could fit in with the early 90's indie vibe

In New York that day, it says here.

Without wanting this to become a big list of who people want to play again, can I put British Sea Power forward? Not only because they often give good live shows and played a fine set, what, four years ago, but their bookers seem to put them forward for every festival - this year, before both were cancelled for lack of take-up, they were set to do Red List Live (essentially an attempt at redoing last year's famously failed Zoo8) and a ludicrous thing called Indie Guitar Festival which seemed to be attempting to act as a spoiler for Truck by putting on Starsailor and Mungo Jerry in the same county on the same weekend.

[seantizz]

I think The Whip is a great call...

If we're looking for somebody of 'equal' stature to the Noisettes how about Little Boots? Florence and the Machine? Marina and the Diamonds? Are Goldfrapp too expensive?

And I know I'll get shouted down for this but what about The Feeling??

Perhaps it's an opportunity to get the Magic Numbers in again? Or Kissmet? Sophie Ellis Bextor?

Let's think Summer Sunshine and pop music!!!

and you say i've got an awful taste in music? at least its not scouting 'every song is the same, has three lines of lyrics, then repeat song title continuously' for girl i guess.

marina and the diamonds are fantastic. surely we cant stomach the magic numbers yet again?

What about some cheesy dink like shed seven they are playing belladrum the week before. Or hows about It Hugs Back they have a severe lack of festivals dates considering they released an awesome album.

Shed 7 would be superb. Nothing cheeesy about that!

I'll echo a request for It hugs back. Saw them recently supporting Holy f**k. Very enjoyable in a Yo la tengo, Eleventh dream day sort of way.

I'm not usually an advocate of bands returning, but Brakes have an excellent album out at the moment, as have Camera Obscura for that matter.

[rob372]

Good luck to The Noisettes in the states, they were ropey on 'Later'.

Ladyhawke would be good. Can 'Hush Arbours' be snuck onto the bill somewhere.
