  3. Song of the weekend

    in Reading & Leeds Festivals

    Posted

    Deftones - Back to School & Surprise! Your Dead! - FNM

    oh and Budweiser, I did yell your name out in the pit, but it was a much bigger pit than expected and well I needed to reserve some energy to prevent myself from dying in the next song they played, plus there was loads of dust in my mouth.. nasty stuff!

  14. Rate bands you saw

    in Reading & Leeds Festivals

    Posted

    Reading.

    Friday - I was working until 4 so missed a few bands I wanted to check out, but nothing major.

    Deftones - 9/10 kicked some ass, the moshpit was mental, however needed much more time. They were on fire the night before in London just to add :)

    Placebo - 5/10 ultimate meh. Way too much new stuff.

    Faith No More - 9/10 I'm really glad they were in the tent, I thought it worked well, great banter only thing I would have asked for would be a few more songs I knew..

    Black Lips - 5/10 - I was expecting a highly energetic show and a big party... apparently not.

    Soulsavers - 8/10 - really good, completly suited my mood at the time.

    Saturday

    The Prodigy - 8/10 - really good, by the sounds of it I was in a perfect position, good enough to feel the atmosphere, but not bad enough to be crushed

    Ian Brown - 8/10 - I wasn't planning to see him at all and don't know his stuff very well, but I really enjoyed sitting back in the sun to him and his band.

    Eagles of Death Metal - 5/10 - not really a fan

    Fightstar - 4/10 - I have no idea why I saw them... possibly drunk

    Glasvegas - 9/10 - thought they were brilliant and genuinely thankful to fans for getting them there

    Them Crooked Vultures - 5/10 I know people aren't going to like me saying this, but I felt a very similar feeling to RHCP in 2007, bored, it should have been sooo much better for who they were. most dissapointing thing those guys have ever done imo.

    Dinasour Pileup - 8/10 - I only saw 2 songs, wish I woke up eralier :huh:

    Rise Against - 8/10 - had to leave early, but thought they started strong

    Polar Bear Club - 7/10 - decent enough

    Our Fold - 9/10 - Brilliant, I hope they breakthrough

    Sunday

    Radiohead - 9/10 - solid stuff, I was just too knackered, plus some people in crowds really need to learn how to sing!

    Bloc Party - 9/10, best time I've seen them out of 4, good setlist!

    Yeah Yeah Yeahs - 9/10, to be perfectly honest I was quite drunk at this point but remembered having a good time :lol:

    Brand New - 4/10 I'm a big fan and just wasn't entertained :) Plus that Gasoline song is gash!

    The Living End - 7/10 good, but not as good as the lock up 2 years ago

    Noah and the Whale - 7/10, wasn't planning to see these but it was good to sit down to

    Frank Turner - 8/10 - since when has he had 50,000 fans?!?!? I was so shocked at this! It was okay I guess I think I was in shock... and still am

    The Crystal Method - 8/10, just sat outside the tent eating lettuce and sounded brilliant ;)

    The XX - 7/10 good enough

    I've been to Reading 3 times now and this was the time I've enjoyed it most, even though no bands were amazing for me, I think it was probably the company :(

  16. The Prodigy

    in Reading & Leeds Festivals

    Posted

    I thought they were good at Reading, but admittedly I've never seen them before. I was in a perfect area for them too, in front of the screen on the right about 20ish people back, room for dancing. :) ..

    however I saw lots of people coming out with various injuries and the start of my shift as a CAT working from midnight till 8am involved checking up on lets of people who took blows to the head who were worrying if they had concusion... :huh:

  22. BBC Introducing bands

    in Reading & Leeds Festivals

    Posted

    Just wondering if anyone has taken a liking to any of the bands on the BBC Introducing stage after a bit of a listen?

    I hope to check out the following (clashes pending);

    # Punch & the Apostles - sound really fun and bare random, I'd imagine they'd be great if I was drunk, however less likely to remember to see them...

    http://www.myspace.com/punchandtheapostles

    # To the Bones - they really caught my ear and seem like they could be going places, recieving good reviews from all the big mags. Remind me of Biffy :D

    http://www.myspace.com/tothebones

    # Wonderswan - sound alright, I think a few of you lot on here would like them if you don't know them For fans of Dinasour Jr. Sonic Youth, Pavement and the likes.

    http://www.myspace.com/wonderswanband

    # Screaming Lights - good stuff, I can see them becoming quite big, I really like the vocals.

    http://www.myspace.com/screaminglights

    # The Old Romantic Killer Band - sound quite raw and dirty, hopefully check them out

    http://www.myspace.com/theoldromantickillerband

    # Frontiers - they sound brilliant, deffinetly not missing them! 'Soaring, yet subtle, widescreen pop on a par with Elbow or Sigur Ros - a winning formula' - thiscitymagazine.co.uk 'In Pursuit balances somewhere between Joy Division at their most charming and The Cure... a really, really good tune that sticks with you for days after' - Sandman Magazine I think those quotes sum them up pretty well

    That's my two cents, lets hear yours :)
