End of the Road 2009 (!)

[DragKnuckles]

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?

Sigor Ros

The National

I'm from Barcelona again

Micha P Hinson again

[Pulpfan]

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.

[SweepingTheNation]

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

[airwaves]

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

[RogerParticle]

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

[andy55]

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)

[airboy paul]

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

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.

Edited September 16, 2008 by airboy paul

[rseamer]

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]

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.

[RogerParticle]

Everyone who played this year (again)

[Corporal Clegg]

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!

[frogmanstar]

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!

[Swindlebiscuit]

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!

[Corporal Clegg]

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!

[Swindlebiscuit]

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.

[Corporal Clegg]

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...

[sadwitch]

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!

[5co77ie]

On the webpage order form it says they add postage and packing.
