Matt Hancock was actually singing The Rat here...

He's definitely seen the video for the song as well and is trying to look the part.

Barry Gibb, anytime, anyplace, I'm there.

Or bring back Gojira (wasn't there in 2019).

It really is an all timer, albums and songs come and go but that is one of those rare ones that I just think I have to hear again at least every few months.

I'd gladly just take Hamilton Leithauser at the fest tbf. He's great too.

All of which aren't indie bands.  The Music are about as far away from a West Holts headliner as you can possibly get.

Absolute bobbins. Yes, they use guitars but The Music are a dance band and would be fine on West Holts.

How about a stage just outside the main gate?

They wouldn't be on then would they.... 

Let me guess.... you're southern? 😉

"What surprise would you like?"

"Well, I'd quite like...."

"STOP DOING SURPRISES WRONG!!!!"

Don't really matter whether they'd be right for a stage or not. It's the surprises thread, not stage predictions. Good lord.

No I'm from the Midlands, same as The Enemy.

They're just shit.

Can we just agree that if someone thinks they're shit and someone else thinks they're really good they must be perfectly neutral?

You’ve officially jumped the shark.  If The Music are a dance act, I’m a member of the Rat Pack.

Oh, I'm sorry... Discogs say they're an indie dance band so they must be, my bad.

Oh, wait, what's this?  Now I don't know what to believe because a different website has described them differently...



Guess I'll have to just trust my own ears.

 

 

[Florian Saucer Attack]

I think we can all agree that 'dance band' is a sun genre of 'alternative rock'

[John the Moth]

Every band is a dance band in my book.

It just shows that my sentiment is likely more valid than it being so fantastical you're going be playing poker with Sammy and Frank. To be fair, in the true sense of West Holts, neither the Music, or any of Justice, The Chip Shop Boys, or Jungle would traditionally have been anywhere near WH, as they're all Other or JP, but in recent years the top spots of WH have been available as a landing spot for big acts that put on a party that don't quite fit high up elsewhere. My first thought for the Music would have been JP, but then Jungle have done the same, as have Hot Chip and they've got the same intensity as Justice. It's hardly jumping the shark, so before you designate yourself as the official judge of that, you should prob check the proper meaning of it 😘

Slaves. They seemed for a couple of years like they were finished after Laurie's partner unfortunately passed away. However, Isaac posted a photo of them playing some music together the other day. Not exactly a rare band to see on a lineup, but would just be nice to see that they're still together, even if it is less frequent

Tune in next week to eFests when we debate whether The Pigeon Detectives should be playing Download.
