2014: let's play... list the bands you're most looking forward to seeing (a rolling thread!)

[FactCheckinCuz]

In no particular order

1. Samantha Crain

2. Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks

3. Gruff Rhys - Hopefully it'll be the powerpoint presentaion thing with the puppet

4. Sweet Baboo

5. John Grant. I know I know but I've managed to misds him every other time he's been on

6. Ezra Furman

7. Arc Iris

8. Lucius

9. Wytches. Sometimes the cobwebs need to be blown away.

10. The Felice Brothers. Made the festival the last time they played.

3 albums in, all of which I love, I've yet to see Cate Le Bon play live. Shame on me! That's going to change next weekend.

3. Gruff Rhys - Hopefully it'll be the powerpoint presentaion thing with the puppet

That's what he's been doing on the festival circuit, especially as he has an hour slot. Presumably he takes his own projection screen. (I've also just realised he's playing, albeit on a different stage, immediately before the Flaming Lips, and his current drummer is the Coyne-fired Kliph Scurlock)

My must-sees: St Vincent, Arc Iris, The Wytches, Three Trapped Tigers, Perfume Genius, Hookworms (though I think there's a partial clash there), Archie Bronson Outfit, David Thomas Broughton, tUnE-yArDs, Kiran Leonard, the Radiophonic Workshop, Mark Ellen in the library.

Any OGWT, Smash Hits or Word Magazine fans must totally agree with your very last point - Mark Ellen is a 'must not miss'. I should add Viv Albertine to that for all the old punks.
