Point me to the fun stuff

[Swindlebiscuit]

EOTR veteran here, loved last year's lineup after initially being quite lukewarm about the whole bill.

 

In the end, it was one of our favourite EOTR years, mainly because a bunch of bands turned out to be the perfect acts for the family. The main thing I think they had in common was...they were all kinda fun, in different ways. 

 

For example...

 

Personal Trainer

Divorce 

Mary Wallopers

Last Dinner Party

And...yes, I know...Wet Leg. 

 

I've been spending a lot of time with the playlist, and -- thought there's a lot of stuff to like -- it doesn't feel as fun? I was wrong this time last year, and am prepared to be wrong again. 

 

So any recommendations? 

 

Can you point me to the fun stuff?

I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes you just want to walk away from a set with a smile on your face. Certainly had that with Personal Trainer(x2), Divorce and the Wallopers last year. I'm not going this year but CMAT is great craic once you commit to her, Sprints are a real fun band and I very much enjoyed Lemon Twigs the last time I saw them. But hey, half the fun comes from the unexpected, doesn't it? Based on my lone experience last year, I defy anyone to to not have fun at EOTR. Enjoy!

Another shout for CMAT!

[zahidf]

CMAT, Gruff Rhys, Hawley should be fun

[zahidf]

Lip Critic were a lot of fun on Weds

[noisenoiseandmorenoise]

Lambrini Girls are the obvious one.

 

[accordionandvoice]

Lemon Twigs and Jockstrap will be fun live acts

OP looking for "the perfect acts for the family" and you point him to... Lambrini Girls?!?

 

I'd add Master Peace, Hotwax, Mozart Estate, Durry, Wine Lips and Freak Slug as all potentially fitting the bill.

Hah fair point. Though depending on the age group/gender they are either model feminist role models or proof not to f**k with women. Important life lessons.

They are about as fun as siphilis.

[xxialac]

New Lip Critic album just released.

Any other new albums out next month or two?

[robith]

Militarie Gun were a blast at Primavera Porto and must say, surely a shoe in for a late-y too?

[Justiceforcedave]

Girl and Girl look pretty fun!

Woods headliners are a bit meh this year but the rest of the line up is stacked.

Big Top Sat and Sun both outstanding. The Sunday in particular for me is super.

Another vote for lip critic, sounds bangin

 

definitely not as much fun stuff overall though this year by the looks of

 

militarie gun and paranoid london would be my 2 plus lambrini girls obviously

[emmo]

I agree on not loads of fun! I think Freak Slug should be fun, plus Lambrini Girls
