DragKnuckles Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I'm a bit worried that this forum is becoming a bit "let's bash a band" and make someone feel bad because they like something someone else does not... ...are we not better than that? ...I hope so.

DragKnuckles Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 ...if you look over the line they stand out like a sore thumb they played bestival the day before (alright something might of gone down between then) and to top it off it buggered up people who wanted to see fleet foxes as as much as i hate to say it they probably would have pulled a crowd which would have eased the crowd capacity in the garden for fleet foxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 the festival was perfect theres a few moans on here about the tipi tent and the sound which im sure will be sorted for next year but to be honest apart from sam bakers set i dont think it intruded that badly.

Yuffie Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Well I certainly wanted to see them, I reckon they might have not pulled out if they hadn't been programmed at the same time as fleet foxes. I had a really good time watching FF though, but I was still disappointed. This said it's true given the kind of music that people at EOTR like (and given the nice comments), maybe it wasn't the best festival for them to play at.

sadwitch Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 We didn't give a crap though there were a lot of groans when they mentioned it on the Garden Stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoebox Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I would have been quite interested to catch a bit of their set if Fleet Foxes hadn't clicked with me. I really like the new album. As much as I love all the music that EotR put on, a little bit of variety goes a long way. The Horrors would have been that variety and could well have worked . I think it was a shame that had to pull out, but it didn't affect my festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airboy paul Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I was quite pleased that they pulled out, but only because it meant that there was Efterklang were put on later/with a longer gap beforehand, so that we could easily get to the very front in advance, and they got to play a slightly longer set. So that was good for me. Although it's never good if a band you want to see pulls out at the last minute. Was disappointed at no set by The Mummers, as I was interested in seeing them. It meant I got to see Ian Archer instead, although busy Tipi meant I didn't stay too long for him anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfectpassion Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I agreee that its a pity to knock bands on here.... my daughter wanted to see the Horrors, and it was quite exciting that Fleet Foxes was almost a crush at the front (it kept us warmer) No one could understand why Blitzen Trapper (who everyone seemed to be talking about) were in the Tipi Tent and not moved to the Horrors slot. I am never gonna like every single thing at EOTR but one of the things that I love about EOTRoaders is that it seems to be a bunch of fairly tolerant and open-minded people and thats what makes it such a wonderful place to be!!!

rocemm Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I'm assuming that the people who think the horrors wouldn't neccesarily fit didnt go and see the noisy bands at the festival.....there were lots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggum Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Before I went I sort of thought that they didn't "fit" with the rest of the lineup. But I was looking forward to seeing them and was a bit gutted they cancelled. Saw them at King Tuts earlier in the year and they were great.

MrSimonW Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 It worked out well for me in that I got to see both Okkervil River and Efterklang who were 2 of my favourite bands of the fest. Probably would have gone to see the Horrors had they been on - I quite like Fleet Foxes, but didn't want a whole hour and a half of them... Totally agree about a bit of variety being most welcome; by Sunday I had overdosed on twangy guitar and was craving some riffage... Thank you the Pack AD for sorting me out!
