Good for an up and comer! Glasto 25 Smaller bands thread!

Some great recommendations here. 

 

Very much enjoying t l k and Man/Woman/Chainsaw, and lots to listen to. 

 

I'll add the below - none brand new to the scene, but either branching out or still bubbling under. 

 

Naima Bock, recent LP: Below a Massive Dark Land. Member of Goat Girl and hints of Joanna Newsom, Aldous Harding, maybe Beth Gibbons. Took a couple of listens but I think it's really great. 

 

Moon Diagrams - from one of the Deerhunter crew, who loves playing with his loopy electronica. Similar to early Caribou.

 

Field Music - not new on the block, but Sunderland-based brothers making mathy, 80s sounding, pop rocky stuff. 

 

Rebelski - Martin Rebelski, the keyboard player for Doves. Album of lovely ambient earlier

this year.

I would definitely recommend  Man/Woman/Chainsaw live! 

I'll add Gia Ford to the list. Great album out last month but mostly excellent live.

They might be a bit well known but The Lottery Winners were fantastic a year or so ago when we saw them

 

There sound is so easy to get into - I can not beleive they have not broken into mainstream yet. I feel a little sad for them.   I though they would be a shoow in for this fesival in an early slot on a bigger stage but apparently they are on tour with Robbie instead -   Which actually could be really good for them

Ah, Mary In The Junkyard! It's be great to have them back at the farm. I caught them at the Crow's Nest this year. Amazing!

Haha now im gutted - for not knowing who they were this year until recently dammit, I often torture myself by looking at old line ups and thinking why was I not there!!!   Also thanks for bringing also thanks for bringing  Our GIrl to the chat can not believe we were talking about them in the new music thread and I forgot to mention them here - to much good music lower down right now to keep track off.

They seem to be doing pretty good but Royal Otis are a new band to me, and what a discovery. They have a nostalgic feel which throws me back to cans of cider and my portable cd player whilst also being some of the best new indie music i've heard in a long time.

 Mary In The Junkyard were great at the BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury last year too!

 

Other small bands I'd like to see at the festival

 

Tennis

HighSchool

W.H.Lung (were great at Williams Green a few years ago)

Sea Lemon

Bdrrm

 

 

Glastonbury is actually pretty poor for these kinds of bands compared to other festivals, given its relative size to other festivals in particular.

 

I'm never sure whether that's a direct policy of the festival, or more to do with the affordability for small bands losing money on playing the small stages.

Great thread. So far this morning I've discovered that I like Mary in the Junkyard very much indeed and the Lottery Winners are very hit and miss but mostly miss (for me).

 

I'd love to see Wings of Desire get a slot on the farm.

Chose this for my new discover of the day (il probably work though all the ones I do not know)  Very moody suits the weather -  I quite like Goat Girl - but (not that its a competition) prefer this to there last effort which i thoight was really poor - compared to there first 2 albums

 

Would be great to catch in one of the small green fields stages

I'm hoping Deadletter make a return this year.  Their new album is well worth a listen

[rawrsomesauce]

They played last year but Fat Dog would be a welcome return, possibly a mid afternoon slot on Woodsies. Saw them on Sunday, blistering form at the moment.

 

Going to throw Nell Mescal in the ring, fantastic singer/songwriter even if she undoubtedly benefits from the fact that her brother is famous.
