How would people feel about these boys being given a slot in the Clash Tent?

Ive seen them a couple of times last year, EP and Tripod, and believe me they are truly amazing at what they do.

One of the best new live dance acts ive seen in a few years. There first album was immense and I only expect better from them in the future.

Reminiscent of Orbital/Underworld in their pomp... well... maybe not that good but their sets are second to nobody :P

I honestly can't wait to see them. Saw them last year at Rockness after hearing 'We Just Are' and they were so much better than I hoped they would be. They're definetely in my top 5 acts to see this year. New album is sounding tremendous aswell. I reckon they will have one of the best sets this year. A Clash tent slot is absolutely essential.

Agreed. I missed them last year at Rockness for reasons beyond me (walking around mashed?) but fortunately got to see them since.

Quality live set. Cant wait, hopefully they are announced soon.

Aye apologies. Meant I hope they get announced for the Clash Tent. They deserve it me thinks, I reckon they'd fill it too.

Dunno if they'd fill it, but I'm sure they'd put on a good show.

I've seen them twice (including at Rockness last year) and they don't put on any kind of show. Its 4 guys with 4 laptops. Great tunes though.

Think I may have to go to the Ironworks gig as a warm up for Rock Ness. Went to Luke Slater there last year a few weeks before Rock Ness (Ithink), Harvey Mackay was in support. Brilliant. Japanese Popstars may just be the gig to kick things off for me this year
