The Chic Excitmenet Thread.

[Kizzie]

Maybe we should start a support group:

I too have seen Chic 3 times, they're great, I want to see them again. Daughter wants to see (rather than CHIC after totally not getting them at WOMAD).... Arctic Monkeys .....urgh, bloody sulky UK art student music....

[ghandi]

Chic are perfectly placed for Friday night, an amazing party atmosphere on the first proper night when everyone has energy to dance dance dance (yowsah, yowsah, yowsah). Move Portishead to the Sunday.

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan i had better get tickets in the resale, only just checked the lineup today (as i didnt get tickets in the first sale) and DAMN...i cannot miss Chic at Glasto. Best stage, best night of the festival and one of the seminal producers of our time!

I love Portishead dont get me wrong, i was 13 when dummy came out and i used to play that album constantly...but Chic will be pure vibes...no contest

i'm fully bopping along to that gig somebody posted up at the mo...EPIC

This is currently the biggest clash imo: Chic vs. Arctic Monkeys.

Are there any other chic-like bands coming to glasto this year? I'm definitely gonna need some boogie that weekend!

The Family Stone (as in Sly and ...) are playing in Silver Hayes,

They did Dance to the Music, Family Affair, Everyday People and a few other gems

Wads just going to suggest The Family Stone. Not quite in the same mould but a groove thang no doubt.

Also getting into Chic has also made me get into other Disco bands, for those of you that haven't check out Dimitri From Paris on Spotify, his underground Disco compilations are pukka, I highly recommend the Cocktail Disco compilation and the Get Down With The Philly Sound one too, it can get a bit repetitive at times, but by golly the grooves are just solid. Listen to Starflight by The Band That Fell From Earth, 17 minutes, 3 breakdowns, it doesn't get much better than that in terms of production and musicianship.

Check out Larry Levan at The Paradise Garage for a great DJ mix from that era:

Announced today for Love Saves Sunday at the end of May. Extremely tempted, even if it's just to avoid any potential clashes when Glastonbury rolls around.
