Ones to watch...

[StevenHooper]

Any smaller bands that should be on the bill next year that are destined for great things?

a few i can think of are Temper Trap and The King Blues, anyone else got any suggestions?

[Alcatraz]

My one man band. We're red hot

Glitter+Vodka. She'll ask a seemingly innocent question then steal all your cider whilst you are caught off guard.

Now this is a thread that does make sense in amongst all the angst about who should/could be playing with all the big names.

I for one would definitely go and check out King Blues and Temper Trap...but knowing our luck they will be clashing!

[cabstar]

Blimey King Blues are so last year already!!!!!

[Onion Terror]

No Age, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Deerhunter.

I predicted those three for this years but I'll keep the faith. Theres not much coming through that excites me in Britain at the moment to be honest

[gemstarrr]

king blues played this year, in avalon. they were brilliant tho so would like to see them again!

think they played on the thursday the year aswell :/

i'd love to see broken records and hockey. both who played this year but i sadly missed

[jackass]

The secret machines would be good they should play the queens head thursday afternoon and the john peel on sunday afternoon, they are pretty top notch live

[Zacko]

Whoever is in the BBC or NME lists for upcoming artists (Yeh I hate it aswell).

[timespeedsup]

About time Zetan Spore got a look-in at Glasto.

Sorry to put a damper on this thread but probably more of the same Here today gone tommorow indie bands who don't care about their music just there to make their quick grand then they will be forgotten about the year after that. See The Cribs or The Courteeners for a good example of one of those bands.

But In my opinion I think The Dears will be a one to look out foor becuase Missiles is a fantastic album.

Cheers,

'The Phantom Band'. Not new, but debut album was out earlier this year and is ace. Dark guitar sounds, a touch of krautrock and with a dirty brilliant drone like rythym driving them.... Hard to describe, give them a listen, especially if you like Nick Cave, Super Furries, Beta Band sort of stuff......Hopefully on a stage at Glastonbury 2010.

Another 'one to watch' is a new band called 'Django Django', another tricky one to describe (or I am rubbish at describing bands!) quite experimental and lively, the songs make me happy. It sounds good to me,I can't be the only one.

'The Phantom Band'

[Zacko]

i'm sorry but the cribs have been around for years, clearly care about their music and i doubt they'll soon be 'forgotten about'.

[BlackHole2006]

Have to say I agree, the fact that Johnny Marr is in the band also gives them massive amounts of credibility compared to other similar bands.

[Zacko]

Wow I never knew they had Johnny Marr in their band, just thought they were another NME band that's all. Point taken. The Courteeners on the other hand...

[sifi]

My one man band.

My tip:

Them Crooked Vultures

[reni]

Liking The Strange Boys at the moment

[Billy09]

Anybody else see The Volt in the fluffy rock cafe, I think 8 or 9 'ish on the Wednesday. Fantastic fast dirty rock/blues played by a 4 piece who looked about 19. Maybe 100 in the audience, certainly grew as people came and stopped 'til the end. Bought their single there, which doesn't sound as good as the gig did, but they had serious promise.

And anybody who hasn't seen them should check out Biggles Wartime Band, been around for ages and 6 piece with a combined age of about 400, but simply awesome show of ridiculous oompah covers.
