    Saw Anteros in Southampton last night. Cracking gig. One of the support acts, Jeph, really caught my ear. Sort of grungy, shoegazey, lo-fi. From the Isle Of Wight. Only 4 songs on Spotify so far but gives a taste. Right up my musical street tbh

     

    Saw Jeph at a free day festival in Guildhall square the other week. I really liked them as well.

    Yeh went especially for Chappaqua as saw them at Off the Record so hung around for Sports Team. Mad crowd and the band are up for it, will check em out again.

    Saw Sports team a couple of weeks ago and I thought they were fantastic. My favourite gig so far this year. Would definitely be up for checking out again.

    Have been thinking about the headliners over the weekend.. and sparked a conversation with some of my friends, wonder what people think.

    It seems like a lot of festivals are having pretty fallow years, and we were wondering if it’s due to the state of modern music. The UK charts are almost exclusively filled with grime/hip hop/rap acts + a few mega pop acts (Ariana Grande etc) 

    It seems that music isn’t really producing festival style acts at the moment, and the ones that could do festivals wouldn’t really “fit in” at Glastonbury/ other “rock” festivals.

    On top of this, I get the sense that even the pop/ RnB acts that are coming through at the moment don’t really seem to have a massive drive to play glasto. Perhaps the American ones now see coachella as an easier alternative.

    Do we think Glasto needs to embrace the change a little? Previous mentions of Post-Malone etc made me think... he’s an artist who’s had critical success, as well as a very successful album, yet if he were to even sub glasto would probably receive great backlash... 

    Unless the festival embraces modern style of music surely we’re going to have some fallow years to follow also?

    The way I see it is pop music etc has dominated the charts for years however festival goers don't tend to be pop lovers. Yeah there's crossover but V festival went down the route you're suggesting and look what happened there and to be fair Glastonbury does book it's fair share of chart toppers from all music genres and some even headline. It's about getting a good mix.

  4. Enjoying new Drenge and also discovered Woahnows album which is really good and well worth checking out.

    I have recently discovered a Scandinavian band called Communions who have an e.p out. Not sure when it came out exactly but it was released this year. Good, especially if you like 80's influenced music in the style of White Lies.

    Was at Bournemouth too, another great show, he & the SS never give less than 100%, reliably brilliant every time. Would love him back at the farm with another show at strummerville too

    Was also at the the Bournemouth gig. It was fab. Always puts on a good show.

    Yeah to be fair, I think back to Noel on his 1st arena tour and I enjoyed it but when I saw Liam in Manchester it was better by quite a distance. Only difference is with Noel you get Don't look back in anger and I don't believe Liam does it but then he does a host more like Cigarettes and Alcohol so. If the Pyramid crowd get right behind him and its not just a washout the field will be buzzing.

    Sorry I thought I'd replied to this but seems like I haven't. When I saw Liam even his non oasis songs sounded good and got a decent enough reaction from the crowd. I think both Liam and Noel will go down well but Liam's likely set is more festival friendly.

    Saw Noel when he supported U2.  I always liked Oasis and also really like Noel in interviews so I had high expectations, but have to admit his show was quite  boring and disappointing. I saw Liam a few weeks later on the Other Stage and thought he was much better, despite the voice not being what it used to be.

    I've seen Noel, Liam and Beady eye since Oasis split and the standout was definitely Liam at Sziget festival last year.
