Other Stage Headliners 2015

[eFestivals]

fucking years ago! no idea why. I get my hopes up every year.

I can remember them playing in the early/mid nineties, when what is now the other stage (can't remember what it was then) was sited in Holts.

[mrtourette]

I think James was '98 subbing Primals, this comes up every few months.

Manchester Orchestra are probably my favourite Madchester band.

Which one? The Philly? The Halle?

[jonodillieono]

Manchester Orchestra are probably my favourite Madchester band.

But they're not from Manchester...

Oldham isn't quite within the city borders

[Mardy]

Happy Mondays were the best band from manchester for about 18 glorious months. Everything after that was abysmal. But for that brief period, ahh man. They fucking ruled.

My shout for the best Manchester band? maybe King of the Slums. Blowzy Wierdos is an amzing album.

[Gnomicide]

Best Manchester band?

Footprints In The Custard...

weird that you say that: whilst watching St. Vincent this year a girl noticed a guy next to me wearing a Los Campesinos! t shirt and they started gushing to each other about them. i wanted to chime in but lost my nerve. damn

but i agree. Los Campesinos! have such a particular fun type of fan. i've rather shamefully never been to one of their own shows (saw them at Leeds fest in the NME tent). this must change

A girl rugby tackled me to the ground in the SE corner on Thursday night shouting "LOS CAMPESIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINOS!" because I was wearing one of the t-shirts. Had a dance and sing in the rain on Friday with a nice man wearing one of the very fetching LC4LYF hoodies (I was wearing a differing LC! t-shirt to the night before, I'm not a scruff), would happily hang out with either of these loons again.

It's New Order.

[dentalplan]

Well Stone Roses, The Fall and Joy Division/New Order probably are in reality, but if we're not doing the obvious choices...

Blimey, how many Los Campesinos t shirts do you have? One for every day of the festival?

7, if we're counting ones in an unwearable state, plus one sweatshirt and one hoodie. I will buy whatever merch they put on their website (take the just-announced Christmas EP for example), it's why I'm so hard up, could probably be wadded if it weren't for them (I actually couldn't).

I'm just jealous cos I have no Los Camesinos! merch. Sob.

I think you've won. What even happened to the attempted continuation of Wu Lyf?

Great shout! WU LYF were brilliant for the short period of time that they were around

If everybody buys shitloads of Los Camp merch, they'll have to go full time, I'm investing in an industry I believe in. There's some free market principles for ya.

LC! have day jobs? I find that a bit depressing. Not that I feel sorry for them, they still get to play their songs for people who love them and all that, but I'd have thought they were big enough to earn a living from it.

I think it's due (at least in part) to personal choice, they want to do things with their lives, fair play to them.

I think they will still be playing live next summer. I have a feeling that they may be at Kendall Calling again next year.

We are seeing James at the Hydro in Glasgow this Saturday. Great live band as has been said. How many bands could tour ( successfully ) with an orchestra ? Would love to see them back at Kendal but it was only 2012 so seems a bit soon. Also saw them at Wickerman in 2011 when the sound system was playing up ( pissing down ) and the rumour was they would be back there as Wickerman had to release some statement taking the hit for their sound being shit.

Would love to see them at Glastonbury. Early evening slot on the Pyramid I would think.

Anywayz...off to listen to Los Campesinos, never seen them.

My friend seen the singer recently at some event I forget which but apparently he said he's living in Amsterdam smoking a lot of weed and has started a tech house project
