Lesser known band suggestions

[ramragon]

Any recommendations from the line up for bands people might not have heard of before ? No doubt closer to the time I'll trawl through YouTube or spotify but does anyone have any initial suggestions

[Comfy Bean]

I`m not sure I agree word for word with the dj`s glowing intro but these look like fun and I`ll give them a go...

I'm gonna check out The Pale White, from our neck o the woods ish Ram, north shields I believe!

[thurlow84]

I like white, man and the echo and the shimmer band

Has anyone had a listen to the Mexican Morrissey tribute band? Mexrrissey....can imagine after a few or a lot of vodka having a sing along to them

Yeah they are quite good.

Wouldn't knock them if I was eating in a Mexicans and they wanted to play around my table lol.

looking forward to hearing some new bands again this year. Really enjoyed the woodland stage last year.

Thurlow already mentioned them but i'll second Man and the Echo. 

[thurlow84]

I like this song

 

[4AssedMonkey]

Another vote for Man and The Echo. Heard a few of theirs and like it a lot. hints of The Coral, The Kinks and Britpop. Which sounds better than I describe it.

[Scargilla]

Sh*t the bed... How have I not heard of Mexrrissey before?!!! That's a definite... best get learning the Mexican version of Suedehead then 

[paddyclark]

Still hoping for the Strypes...  Cracking band

[trebor1892]

Probably don't suit the crowd at Kendal as a little on the heavy side, but Florence Black from Wales are superb live

[sharkey2007]

The Blinders....great tunes and energetic live....will go onto big things. 

 

[robskyd]

We saw Mexrissey in Manchester a couple of weeks ago and they're very entertaining! 

They've not been announced yet but if The Lottery Winners play the Woodlands stage again then get yourselves over there. They're a very good live band, and funny ! 

[Globalist]

White are absolutely sensational - brilliant songs and brilliant live. Living Fiction is one of the best singles of the last few years at least (imo).

Eat Fast sound pretty good too - they've a double A side out just now with Public Display of Affection and Sand Drone.

[neato]

Anyone ever seen Land of the Giants? Caught them on the KC playlist, they sound like fun. Might be a decent afternoon band

100%. Every song has a real quality to it. Brilliant front man as well. 

[ramragon]

Looking forward to seeing them as well. Followed them on Spotify for a little while now

[thurlow84]

off to see Sundara Karma over in the north east tonight, supports coming from the Night Cafe and Blaenavon.

I've liked the few songs I've heard by Blaenavon so far and they are on the KC line up so let you know that they are good when I remember to

Saw them at Bingley Music Live last year, they put on a good set

[TraceyFoz]

Definitely have a look at White... They're on Spotify but not on the KC playlist so easily missed!
