geofelgie Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 getting even better..... Acts I really want to see: Midlake Laura Marling Gruff Rhys John Grant Joan as Policewoman Willy Mason Josh T Pearson Dan Mangan Emmy the Great Lia Ices Cass McCombs Treefight for sunlight Sarabeth Tucek Wild Nothing Rue Royale Emanuel and the fear Acts I'd quite like to see: Joanna Newsom Mogwai The Walkmen Micah P Hinson The Leisure Society Dry the River Perfume Genius Timber Timbre Twin Shadow Kurt Vile & the violators Woods Samamidon Gordon Gano and the Ryans Lykke li Darren Hanlon Actually kinda weird in that so far I'd only class John Grant and Dan Mangan as "must-sees" and DM is a very recent conversion.......but that list really is over half the line-up now....and there's still 5/6 I haven't investigated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfectpassion Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Although I haven't seen Rue Royal before they have done several gigs with my friend's band. Hes always telling me how much he loves them So I am looking forward to seeing them. She Keeps Bees did the last set of 09 and were good fun Infinate Jest...I think you will enjoy them too Edited March 24, 2011 by perfectpassion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryR Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'm with you there. In my Peel listening heyday (mostlymy Uni days '86-'89) I used to get annoyed that he would play The Fall every 15 minutes cos I couldn't bear them - I was sat waiting patiently for a blast of bIG fLAME or a new Half Man Half Biscuit or Bogshed session - but I've mellowed. Not that I've got much of their stuff - really only one compilation album, and that's pretty much all I'm ever likely to get. But I have recently read The Fallen by Dave Simpson, where he has gone on a search to find all the ex-members of the band, and as a result I'm fascinated by the band's dynamic, and am interested in seeing how they approach EOTR.

Infinite Jest Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Aye, I've seen them twice and didn't think much of them either time. I'm assuming they'll headline the Big Top though, which might work better (I've seen them mid-bill on the main stage of big festivals). But I'd say our best chance of entertainment is MES throwing bottles at one of the folk groups.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom75 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yep saw Drum Eyes at very close quarters for the end of their set in the Tipi last year (to get to the front for the Felice Brothers). To be honest they freaked the bejeezus out of me, was feeling a bit fragile after a few ales and they certainly didn't hold back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljsawyer Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Listening to 'Gira Gira' now and watching some live videos of Drum Eyes - I think they'd be by far the best choice for the Caribou slot even if they're not even half as big as the likes of Health. I can picture a devastating performance or at least one which will go down in the memory for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragKnuckles Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Dan Mangan jumped into my Must Sees... "Robots"...had it on an Oh!

bennyhana22 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Never a bad tipster, Mr W. Just listening to the new Rue Royale album - really liking it too. How cool must it be to make music like this...with your spouse! Thanks, Simon Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfectpassion Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 On the basis of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCfyEQS_jdw I ordered the album it's on. Which arrived today and is a v nice package - a sewn booklet with lyrics and so on. Also a v good album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadragon Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Bands I cannot miss John Grant Micah P Hinson The Leisure Society Megafaun Perfume Genius Woods Rue Royale Bands I’d like to see Beirut Midlake Best Coast Joan as Policewoman Josh T Pearson Sam Amidon Cambodian Space Project Dan Mangan The Fresh & Onlys Lanterns on the Lake Lightning Dust She Keeps Bees Wild Nothing Emanuel & The Fear Cambodian Space Project White Denim Lia Ices Ok, my list is growing despite my initial disappointment at some of the bigger names announced. Those in red I've just added, in fact this year is totally about the smaller bands for me. Also want to add to the Rue Royale love in this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyhana22 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I can't believe there's practically no sign of The Deadly Syndrome in anyone's list. I've even ordered Nolens Volens on vinyl, so much do I like it! Do me a favour guys and try to listen to 'Wingwalker' or 'Armrest' from the album (not sure if they're on Spotify as I don't use it much) and then let me know what you think. They are amongst the top few finds for me so far of the EoTR line-up... Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyhana22 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Were they not amongst my "must sees"? They should have been! The Ortolan has been my discovery of the festival so far. I will not be missing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoebox Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 They were indeed, shoebox, so thank you! And if you like The Ortolan, then you'll love Nolens Volens. It shows obvious progress from their first record, a band growing into their skin, as it were. They are VERY high up my EoTR excitement list, currently.

Infinite Jest Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'm listening to The Black Angels at the moment but The Deadly Syndrome is up next on my playlist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRockRick Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Funnily enough I was listening to the same two bands....and echo Shoebox - the Deadly Syndrome live album sounds pretty damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljsawyer Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Anyone heard the new Woods track? http://pitchfork.com/news/42089-listen-woods-pushing-onlys/ This band never stops being incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyhana22 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Do you know what? The new Mogwai record is bloody good. Can I urge anyone who has, thus far, decided that The 'Gwai are not for them to give Hardcore... a really good run for its money. I LOVE post-rock, as many of you know. For me, Mogwai are not the post-rock sound, style, vibe that I usually go for. I could easily have seen myself dipping into bits and bobs for a listen and not liking them very much. But after giving the new album some serious attention, it is a real grower. I can even envisage being in the Garden with waves of crashing beauty washing over my smiling face. It won't be EITS, but it's going to be great! Listen to Death Rays a few times. Listen to the first four or five tracks in album order. It really is high quality stuff. No self-indulgent, melody-free noodling here. No over-blown quiet-loud-quiet-loud formulaic ideas-lacking here. It's just bloody good. With no singing!

RedRockRick Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Been playing Kurt Vile's "Childish Prodigy" over the weekend: haven't heard the latest album yet, but this hits the spot. Yipee, someone I can get enthusiastic about seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
