Saw them with Aquasky last summer, and they were still on top form IMHO. The event itself (an outdoor one) was pretty much over by the time they went on, so the atmos wasn't quite there, but I bet with the right crowd they'd be devastating.

Pendulum on Sunday

Would you really class them as D'n'B these days? Each album has got progressively worse and progressively less D'n'B.

[Cooter]

Yep, nice one for this thread, always on the hunt for some decent dirty dnb.

And there's probably a reason Pendulum weren't mentioned by moo-e, because they aren't decent or dirty!

true words. think its wrong for people to say they're not dnb though, they used locks of rock and other stuff but on the whole they're still dnb, just pretty shite IMO.
Their first record is anyway, I lost interest of them when rob started singing.

Genuine question: Do people go to glastonbury just for drum and bass?  I always thought that it was one type that added to the overall mix but I hadnt considered that someone might go just for DnB bands....dumb or what ( me that is).

Not me and I've never met anyone that has but I suppose there is someone out there somewhere. Glastos big enough to spend your whole weekend on dnb with the odd hour or two rest now and again, same as it would be for jazz, pop, rock, folk etc etc, just not metal, sadly.

[Big Vern]

dont suppose the ragga twins do any of their old skool stuff do they ie hooligan '69, wipe the needle etc?

True but in all the years of going I had never considered that someone would go just for one distinct type of music as opposed to a variety.....I thought that was more towards the specialist festivals. I dont just mean DnB but others as well...it was just a new take on it and I suppose as the festival grows it will become easier to concentrate on one type only.

You'd be mad to go to Glasto just for drum and bass or any other single genre. I'm interested in knowing what d'n'b is happening cos I really like hearing it at a festival, particularly in the open air as opposed to in a club  (so looking forward to things like London Elek at the Glade).

Omitting Pendulum was an oversight on my part. Love 'em or loathe 'em they prob still deserve the d'n'b label (just about)

I know the feeling.....I aint no country bumpkin but I love a bit of live Wurzels with my cider....just sounds right at a festival.

Oh mate, brings back memories of illegal/legal loud bassy outside raves outside in the open air. Gives it a whole different meaning, even making the ugliest best filthiest jungle/dnb sound almost beautiful and clean, if you know what I mean.

Dr Meaker are playing Arcadia with a full live band Saturday 25th June, they have played every year recently and are meant to be very good.

Carnival Collective are 30 - 50 persons strong and do some amazing live drum and bass on a scale that you will not see anywhere else. They started as a samba band but added in live brass, guitars and vocals. They are listed to be playing on the 22nd but normally do 10 sets across the weekend in the Circus, Theatre and Green fields. They should be booked by Hospitality to play at Brixton Academy to add some extra depth to a night, I don't know why they are overlooked by large DNB promoters.

Really, don't hear much d'n'b anymore. Their forthcoming album is supposed to be even less dance in favour of a more punky feel.

You are indeed not wrong, that lot are truly impressive and the lead bloke with the cowboy hat gets so into it. Saw them at Glasto a few years ago just wandering around and they never fail to put a smile on your face. DnB truly live. Bought their cd as soon as I got home.

Pendulum will certainly be playing a lot of DNB during their set at Worthy farm and should be included in this list. Its a shame that they don't play Vault live.
