I'm starting my little campaign right here! C'mon Glasto, these guys are legendry!!

If you don't know who they are they have done the music to Danny MacAskill's incredible trial bike video that you can watch here...

Danny MacAskill - Inspired bicycles

Anyone else love them?

Seriously?? Everything all the time is probably my favourite of the 3...magnificent album. Wicked Gil remains my favourite BOH song. Inifinite arms has some high points, but still not up to the first two. Live however, they are still as great as ever...

Track 1 (factory I think) is brilliant but the rest of it hasn't really done much for me.

Everything all the time is probablly my favourite album.

They would be great at Glasto. Headlining the Park imo.

I agree, I think the Park is where they would be best enjoyed. Did you hear that Emily? THE PARK

[ohmygod]

I think that they played the John Peel Tent in 2008 (or maybe 2007)  - was a bit gutted that i missed them but by all reports they were a bit lack lustre and didn't get many good reviews

Even though I don't think it compares to its predecessors, Infinite Arms does still have some great tracks on it, and they blend well into the live set. Apart for the aforementioned Factory and the more archetypal BOH songs like Compliments, Laredo, Dilly and NW Apt, there's a few gems hidden in there amongst the more subtle numbers...and agreed, Park would be great! (though second from top as I'd like to see U2, The Stones and Prince this year   )

My absolute favorite current band in the world right now. All three albums have something to offer and are all brilliant.

Lucky enough to see them at Shepherds Bush a couple of years back where they were brilliant. Saw them twice last year where was utterly spellbound.

VERY excited about going to see them in Brixton in a few weeks time.

Might be able to find out if they are going to be at Glastonbury that night... I'll keep you posted.

I'm travelling to Bexhill to see them especially in a few weeks, smaller venue than Brixton and should be pretty special.

They were ok-good at Reading, but more set time was needed.

Yes please at Glasto.

Or was it 2009? Anyway, I saw them in the JP tent, and yes, they were a bit poor, and only seemed to get going towards the end. Wished I had gone to see Elbow instead.

[1waveydavey]

Everybody is entitled to an opinionnfor sure and I fully respect that.

But.... They are staggering live, at The Roundhouse this year they played a stunning set that was almost gospel like at times. A few days later I saw them in Oxford play a balls out rock set. Both blew me away.

I'm no gig newcomer either by any stretch, I've probably seen most if the bands most of us like on these forums many times over thirty years of gig going.

This lot are very very special.

[robith]

I thought they were great in the JP tent in 2008 - they suffered a bit that that was the first year they doubled the size of that tent - so bands like BOH, Stars, The National played to half full tents that didn't help atmosphere wise.

They were also really great when I saw them at Koko last year, closing with a cover of Yo La Tengo's Sugarcube was one of the highlights of last year.

However, their last album is WOEFUL.

Looking good.  Headlining The Park would be fantastic.  I'd take these any day over most of the headliners that have been muted.  One of very few bands, along with The National and Arcade Fire, who've had a run of three stunning albums IMHO.  Saw them at The Roundhouse and looking forward to seeing them at Brixton Academy in a few weeks but night time at The Park would be special.

I'd say they won't be at Glasto - those dates have them supporting Foo Fighters, and Foos are playing elsewhere in Europe on Glasto weekend.
