Saw Fontaines in Madrid last night. 11th time seeing them. That'll be 14 by Christmas (I know, I know.. )

 

Really have established themselves now. Insanely good.

Out of interest why do you think they’ve turned down Glastonbury but are playing Rock Werchter? 
 

Maybe positioning themselves for a bigger spot 1 day I guess?

That would be the obvious answer.

 

I'll have more on that, with an accurate answer, this time next month.

Interesting. Has he said how high on the lineup?

He hasn’t, but I’d hazard a guess 3rd on the main stage (idles were 4th and they seem a bit bigger than them at the moment)

Dream Wife at Birkenhead Future Yard last night. Last night of the tour and clearly having a great time, inviting all the "bad bitches" down to the front created a great atmosphere. Rakel (singer) told there'd be no festival shows next year, tour is done, finished. Presumably this means they'll be working on a new album.

 

 

 

Support was from Shefu, pretty decent. One to keep an eyo on.

Mentioned in the Nick Cave thread already, but doesn't hurt to say here - he was terrific in Leeds last night.

Blossoms last night at Hammersmith, they really have developed in to a stunning live band. They were always fun live but Tom has now become a real polished front man. I am still a little puzzled as to how they are not more popular.

 

Also, had the bonus of Red Rum Club and Overpass as support.
