refriedgenes Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Good evening everybody, long time reader, 1st time poster. Been to Glasto twice - yeah, I know that's not going to gain me too much kudos in the grand scheme of things, but I was there in 1999 for their sunset slot and it was AWESOME! Ben holding the note for a recorded 34 seconds - source it! Returned back into the fold for 08 and was completely entranced by the wonder of 900 acres of field bound fun. What say anyone else we try and get these guys back for an Other Stage slot mid afternoon on any day - much misaligned live band, inexcusably shunned by the UK music press for being better than most things the NME can shove in your face! Sorry if this sounds like a plug, it's not, but Bring It On! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxhoyland Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 They have a new album out in March (www.gomez.co.uk), and I don't think they've played Glasto since 2004 (they were absolutely class, worth missing James Brown for), so could be a good shout for this year. Doves & Gomez both with new albums out and possible Glasto perfomances?! f**k the economic downturn, 2009's looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRISHMANC Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 there is a thread on here with them down as headlining the jazz world o the sunday night, a clash between them and blur would devestate me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRISHMANC Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 i've never seen either live and reckon both would be great. my missus is form the love early oasis, hate bleugh manc school of thought so i'd be seeing gomez for sure if there was a clash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disasterplan44 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) I saw them do a festival set at the beginning of the year and they were very, very disappointing. I like Gomez and I'd seen them a few times before... but based on that performance I'd probably go elsewhere (definitely, if they were up against Blur on the Sunday night).

refriedgenes Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Think they're penned in to do a set at Bonnaroo festival in the states at about 15th june, but they could come home for Glasto - hopefully tour UK afterwards, please? pretty please?

darrenbha Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 think they'd suit a sunset slot on the jazzworld far better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
