BBC Introducing Stage Announced

[kev1664]

As the BBC Introducing stage hs been announced do any of you have any recommendations to try and have a listen to?

Have any of you seen any of the bands live? Do any of you know anyone in these bands and would recommend them?

Is there anyone not worth looking at specifically when I get the chance to trawl through myspace after work?

Cheers

Kasms.

Minnaars - check 'em out, seriously. For the Foals fan in all of us. I know the guys as well, awesome dudes, fab live.

Can't wait to see them at Reading, only ever seen them in bars and the like before - this is a pretty big deal!

[Cydonia_90]

I've heard Kasms are quite good, i'm afraid to say i havent heard of any of the others

[Budweiser]

Only heard of What makes you beautiful.

[scottt]

so which one is The Foo Fighters?

[Simpo]

TO THE BONES

[Mamba]

CHICKENHAWK!

I just wasted 3 minutes of my life listening to them on Myspace after that comment. God they were bad.

[robsadler]

kasms sounded lame. oh dear.

minnaars sound better, like you said very similar to foals!

[tombenj]

so which one is The Foo Fighters?

hahahahahahahahahahahaha this was amazing.

[kev1664]

Just listening through the bands, Just heard British intelligence, They sound pretty good like!

Different to a lot of things out there, a mixture of Rage, Cypress hill, Korn, N*E*R*D, Linkin park, (a little) muse, and something else that I can't put my finger on.

I like it though!

What do you make of em?

Check out Lovvers, their song 'Human Hair' was one of my favourites from last year. Kind of alternative/punky - guitar based with distorted vocals. Bet they'll be amazing live if the sound is loud enough!

[dewdropmagic]

Yeah I definitely recommend Lovvers too. I managed to miss their entire set last year but I've seen them a couple of other times and both times have been fab. I reckon the sound will be loud enough. It's usually pretty good on the Introducing Stage. I saw them on that same stage last year at Latitude and they sounded great.

I'd also recommend Kasms despite a lot of people not liking what they've heard! I'm still not the biggest fan of their recorded stuff but they are really entertaining live. I don't think bands like that necessarily translate very well in a recorded environment - kinda similar to Test Icicles.

Besides those two Chickenhawk are really good and might please those people who were wanting some heavier bands on the bill. They've been around for a while now and their album is one of the best I've heard this year.

Nice to see Minnaars on the list. They were getting some decent press back in Leicester last year, probably go check them out

More importantly, we should definitely find the shittest band on the stage and start a rumour that they're a secret band hahaha

That was only funny about 5 seconds last year. Though it actually f**ked up the performance for the band after the ff's as well. Though it was scenes like that when u relaise most people who attend reading are idiots.

Whats the full story here?

[scottt]

loads of people thought that the ff's (or ff'ers, not sure which) were foo fighters incognito. Band go on stage, no dave grohl in site, so people threw everything including the kitchen sink at them.
