New music

Bastille have been getting some decent press lately after the release of their first album, could see them filling a similar slot to tribes last year in the calling out tent.

I've suggested Racket Ball on Facebook. They're mental and brilliant. Basically a bloke and 2 keyboard players, do this weird synthie stuff with visuals projected to the one side. Extremely entertaining and strangely hypnotic. Closest band I could say they're like is the Fall, but they're nothing like the Fall.

Sound similar to Ratatat (minus the singer)

Been listening to a few tracks from 'coves' as well, enjoyed what I've heard of them up till now.

Went to see Kodaline at a small venue last night which was totally packed out, they could have comfortably have played a bigger venue and got a decent crowd.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the set and the band seemed surprised to hear a lot of the crowd singing along to a few of their tracks which isn't bad for your first headline tour. I could see them slotting on the main stage in a slot like Spectors last year, if they played the calling out tent they'd probably get one of the biggest crowds of the weekend in it but I don't think theyve got enough material for a headline set on it yet.

Went to see Jake Bugg last night (who was good).

The support was a girl called Misty Miller (with a bass player and drummer).

Whilst it was only a short set, she showed quite a lot of promise, and to me she sounded like Siouxsie Sioux (but not the same look!).

One to watch out for.

I'd like to see the Bibelots added. Saw them at IOW a few years ago...very good.

For new music try this. First video, posted 23 hours ago. Pretty good.

That 'Baggy Mondays' sounds like it could be good. Hoping it'll be on quite late when most the bands have finished.

Just been reading about this in our local paper the dj is penrith born (chris salmon) house party tent Sunday night so it says !

Maybe not "new" music but saw King Charles through the week in King Tuts. Place was rammed and bouncin. You folks on here put me onto him and I saw him at Kendal for the 1st time last year. What a talented guy / band. He`s already booked for loads of festivals and is opening for the stones in Hyde Park but this is a guy who has just played 30 gigs in 30 days ( i think ) so sure he could squeeze in another Kendal set. I think he could fit in around 3rd main stage or headline calling out. Some excellent new tunes and wouldn`t be surprised to see him headline a few fests next summer.

I wanted to see him last year but missed him. Must have clashed with someone else. I'd be happy if he was announced again for this year.

I went to try and catch his late night appearance in the riot jazz tent and was gutted to find he'd dropped out of that show. Hopefully he'll be on the next announcement

Deadline Shakes are playing an evening sunshine slot at our local fest at Kelburn on Saturday. Perhaps they could be at Kendal next year. Outa Glasgow........................

[ramragon]

Dont seem too bad , ill keep an eye out for them heading this side of the border

Saw 'Concrete Knives' at Godiva today. Pretty good. Sort of cross between Arcade Fire and Vampire Weekend. Ish

Not playing at Kendal but hopefully he will be next year...Neville Staples was brilliant. Did loads of Specials songs. Crowd went mental

[viberunner]

Agree about Nev. Saw him doing his Specials thing at a Wickerman a year or two back.

Would be a brilliant booking.

Just been listening to Lauren Aquilina on youtube....haunting voice, will go down really well in Chai Wallahs (if you saw and liked Rae Morris in 2011/2012, you'll enjoy Lauren)....just hope there isn't anyone that clashes with her on Calling Out.
