DragKnuckles Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) Hi All... I know this is far too soon but endoftheroadro did say that he is always up for suggestions! Anyway...here are a few suggestions for me for EOTR 2009 (limited to 10!): - Anais Mitchell (for me the best singer songwriter of the last five years...I think she is touring with Bon Iver later this year - her "big break" finally!) - Andy Whittle (perfect for early on in the Bimble) - Ted Barnes (beautiful and moody...a late set in The Local?) - Teitur (have the Faroe Islands been represented at EOTR before?!) - Hayden (special canadian singer songwriter) - Ben Christophers (doesn't tour much these days...you can do it...get him involved...genius!) - The Veils (need something a bit more rocky for early evening on the Garden Stage) - Emmett Tinley (of Prayer Boat fame...Attic Faith is astounding) - Fleet Foxes (must have just missed the cut this year - have to get them next!) - David Ford (another one perfect for early Bimbling!) If I can get a couple of the above I will be VERY happy...what about you guys? Edited September 16, 2008 by DragKnuckles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geofelgie Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Oooh, I'm always game for a list: David Ford........yes please! Wilco........surely perfect EOTR headliners. Solo Nick Cave piano set!!!!!.........what a fantastic idea Teddy Thompson The Hold Steady Okkervil River Frightened Rabbit Broken Records (may be just too huge by then i'd guess) Guillemots/Fyfe Dangerfield solo/other side projects........could get loads of sets for the price of one!!!!! Tiny Dancers Scissors for lefty Little Man Tate........yes they're a indie rock band made up of "lads" but they're a party waiting to happen, honest Jason Collett Augie March Unkle Bob The cash brothers But above all else....................Kevin Tihista please, please, please!!!!!!

Swindlebiscuit Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Good god - PLEASE get Wilco! I'd also add: Sufjan Joanna Newsom Sparklehorse The Hold Steady headline set Saturday Miracle Fortress (they owe you!) Fiery Furnaces Colin Macintyre Iron & Wine Jim O'Rourke Bonny Prince Billy Those are a few that came to mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcider Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Seems a bit of a cheek talking about 2009 already but what the hell ! I would love to see any of these Josh Rouse Okkervill River Wilco Sigor Ros The National Polyphonic Spree Son Volt The Shins My Morning Jacket Band of Horses The Hold Steady Fleet Foxes Magnolia Electric Co Badly Drawn Boy again Alberta Cross Tacks the Boy Disaster Jens Lekman again I'm from Barcelona again Micha P Hinson again Midlake again Wave Pictures again Richard Hawley again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulpfan Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Are earlybird tickets available yet. Think it said on the back of my programme that they went on sale on the 15th though not 100% sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweepingTheNation Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 It does say the 15th, but there's nothing on the official site yet. So, suggestions: Nick Cave in some context The Decemberists Grizzly Bear Okkervil River Mew Fleet Foxes Camera Obscura Anathallo Broken Records Jens Lekman Ballboy Half Man Half Biscuit Eugene McGuinness Emmy The Great The Spinto Band The Week That Was Gravenhurst The Bookhouse Boys Kat Flint The Dirty Backbeats The Rosie Taylor Project The School The Voluntary Butler Scheme Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airwaves Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Not going to double up/relist any of the suggestions above - I'd support all of them. Add Blue Nile Porcupine Tree Architecture In Helsinki The Church (could you get them to come over from Aussie land) A Silver Mount Zion Cranes East River Pipe (do they still exist?) Eels Espers Last Town Chorus Lemon Jelly Matmos Nancy Elizabeth Phelan Shephard Roy Harper Silver Jews Tunng Vetiver Voice of the Seven Woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerParticle Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Pretty much all of the above Add Warren Ellis to Nick Cave and you've got perfection. Saw just the pair of them, play together in the last century some time and it was wonderful. My thoughts Peter Broderick - Saw him last night, the guy is a genius and plays everything including violin, guitar, piano and musical saw usually all in the same song) Efterklang - Great band from Denmark (Peter Broderick plays violin, trumpet, percussion and sings with them too) Daniel Johnston - Lo-fi songs that can touch the soul in such a way you forget he can't actually sing or play guitar that well Amiina - String section from Sigur Ros who play lovely folky instrumental stuff and play at least 20 instruments on stage between them, getting better each tim I see them Ballboy - Great indie pop songs from Scotland Fionn Regan - Charasmatic singer-songwriter from Ireland Do Make Say Think - Fantastic instrumental band from Canada, lots of members playing guitars and trumpets (That really is a poor description of them) f**k Buttons - Check them out live and you'll see why, perfect for ending the night in the Big Top Vic Chesnutt - Especially if he still has a Silver Mt Zion as his backup band (Oh why did Efrim think he could sing?) Motorhead - In the Bimble Inn on Sunday morning - perfect way to start the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy55 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Bon Iver (again - best thing I've seen all Summer) Wilco The National Iron & Wine My Morning Jacket Jason Isbell Eels Sparklehorse Nick Cave Elbow Centro-Matic Jim White The Hold Steady Band Of Horses Josh Ritter Micah P. Hinson (again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airboy paul Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) Sufjan Stevens Joanna Newsom Sparklehorse Would be my (realistic?) three headliners I'd like to see. Bands I'd like see return: I'm From Barcelona (felt a bit wrong without them there this year) Loney, Dear The Acorn Over The Wall Seabear Sons Of Noel And Adrian Jens Lekman Port O'Brien Paris Motel My Latest Novel Suburban Kids With Biblical Names Shearwater 'virgin' eotr Bands I'd like to see: Efterklang Hjaltalin Orphans & Vandals Get Well Soon Real Tuesday Weld Why? The Notwist Stars and Sons Bodies Of Water Choir Of Young Believers Slaraffenland Lost In The Trees Au A. J. Holmes Jong Pang Benni Hemm Hemm The Ruby Suns Shugo Tokumaru Le Loup Breathe Owl Breathe Johann Johannsson Psapp Final Fantasy Gosh, it'd be so great having a festival where you could just choose all the folk you wanted (until they started clashing with one another). But then it'd also be sad if folk say they can't/won't play. I've bought Early Bird tickets for the first time for next year. Although am slightly disgruntled about the misleading '£90' ticket price, but ah well, should still be a little bit cheaper than buying them next year I imagine.

rseamer Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Lots of good suggestions there.... Here are just a couple more...new acts who will be putting out albums next year Laura Groves ( Has worked with Emmy The Great and Jeremy Warmsley) The B of the Bang (Album being released next year on Strange Death of Liberal Englands producers new record label) And more established Angus And Julia Stone Maps Lightspeed Champion Peggy Sue And The Pirates Headliner Regina Spektor ?

domjon Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 agree with lots of the above, 'think it will be so hard to match this years line up for quality though. Dream headliners would be something like Flaming Lips friday, The National saturday, Leonard Cohen\Nick Cave\Sigur Ros sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heddwch Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 From the above lists I'd strongly agree with: Nick Cave solo; with Bad Seeds or Grinderman (or even just reading from his book!) Flaming Lips The National Sufjan Stevens Wilco Eels The Hold Steady Silver Jews Half Man Half Biscuit Polyphonic Spree And I'll add: Spiritualized Richard Thompson Los Campesinos! Archie Bronson Outfit Broken Family Band (main stage this time please!) Misty's Big Adventure (ditto!) Cave Singers PJ Harvey Stephen Malkmus MGMT Seasick Steve Neon Neon Alabama 3 Caribou The Handsome Family Piney Gir Bellowhead Magic Numbers And finally, any chance of getting the Silent Disco in for next year?

Corporal Clegg Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Glad that someone else as listed the legend that is Roy Harper to the list as he would be top of my list perfect for EOTR. Apart from Roy :- My Morning Jacket War on Drugs(2nd only to Bon Iver in album of the year so far) Fleet Foxes Ray Lamontagne Devendra Banhart Black Mountain Espers Tuung Laura Veirs and if they not too big after winning the Mercury - Elbow!

frogmanstar Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I'd love to see: Okkervil River Richmond Fontaine Slim Cessna's Auto Club Get Well Soon Everyone who played this year (again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corporal Clegg Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Well whoever's playing next year i'll be there as just purchased tickets for next year-only 11 months and 360 days to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corporal Clegg Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hello Cleggy - When you bought the tickets did they add VAT at the end, bumping the price up to £105 per ticket? It's a little bit cheeky if that's the case. It certainly seems to be that way, but just wanted to check! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindlebiscuit Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Yeah that was a bit of a shock when the final total came up.Don't know why they advertised at £90 when it clearly is £105! Still well worth it but should have advertised it as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corporal Clegg Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I just emailed them to suggest it was a little "un-EOTR-ish" to do that! Not in a snotty way of course! Just to let them know that a few people might feel a little bit miffed. We'll be there for sure next year though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadwitch Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hmmm that's a bit rubbish.I was all excited for an ooberbargin and now feel disappointed when I was happy to pay £105 this year. Fools! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
