1. BRAKES BRAKES BRAKES - Brighton's best live band
2. Broken Family Band - Saturday afternoon in the sun was perfect
3. The Leisure Society - Acoustic set @stage in the woods Sunday lunchtime

Also enjoyed Okkervil River, Steve Earle (although missed a lot due to Brakes in Big Top), The  Hold Steady (again, missed a lot due to hometime), Bob Log (hilarious) Dent May, Pack AD and (surprisingly) Fleet Foxes

Now I am back I am spending all my time catching up on the bands I missed - it is frustrating you cannot be in 2 places at once.
Great weekend, great mix of music.

hmm.

1. Explosions in the Sky

2. Neko Case

3. Vetiver

Contrary to the opinions of the people here, I didn't really like Okkevil River - thought that they're a bit too loud and showmany for me!

Bob Log III and Vetiver are worth a honourable mention!

[fern***]

My top 3 would be:

Efterklang
Peter Broderick
Soy un Cabello

The more I read this the more I regret not going to see Explosions in the Sky, I just head it from a distance....but am now really getting into them (at last)

So though it was truly lovely to meet you, Sue, it would appear to have been slightly too late  

DAMN! That would be have been yet another spot-on recommendation!

Um, I went to see Vetiver and could have caught the seeond half of Explosions In The Sky, but listened to them...it was good...BUT as you know.... I was already overwhelmed by seeing a band with two hot drummers.... and had to go back to the tent and shave my legs before their secret set in the Tipi

They probably were great tho in the Garden Stage setting...I bow to your expertise

hi there, i must say explosions in the sky were amazing. the final song, the only moment we were alone
was just epic. and the way they finished . my mom was with me she over 60 and she was blown away by them.

My top 3 would be

1) Peter Broderick
2) Wildbirds and Peacedrums
3) Efterklang

Honourable mention should go to Josh T Pearson as well, shame I missed his secret set once again.

The award for "spontaneously" falling down at the end of a song goes to EITS. Actually I was surprised I enjoyed them as much as I did as I got way too bored of them a few years back.

This thread seems as good as any to mention that Matador artists have done lists for their site of their favourite things of the year and Jonathan Meiburg of Shearwater has included David Thomas Broughton's set. And now he's touring Europe with them in February.
