Suggestions for 2010

Its ok....am just jealous of the vinyl lol x

[almal]

Hello Saferide, John Vanderslice and Kimya Dawson were 3 that popped into my head today

[perfectpassion]

Thinking about the above and Arcade Fire...surely if Fleet Foxes can headline? I never thought about the money...I believed that bands played for the Kudos of being invited to perform at the most prestigious musical events of the year....isnt that why HRH and Jarvis were there? I imagined that they were the lucky ones and we were the chosen few

Arcade Fire headlined Latitude though (25,000 capacity, their fee was probably £150K+), Funeral went Platinum in the UK (300,000 sales plus) and Neon Bible made No 2 in the album charts. Whole league or five above Fleet Foxes.

I agree that they should be more than happy to do it for the love but then there's the danger of the festival being swamped by fans of one band.............I think in conclusion that it would be much better for them to play a secret set at the festival under a fake name.........maybe "The Canadians Not Known As Ben"????

[pelekas]

How about the following bands:

Oakley Hall

Avett Brothers

Dr Dog

Islands

Blind Pilot

The Thermals

Jackie Greene

Wintersleep

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zero - love there stuff

Thanks to Simon and Sofia for a great festival this year!

Nice idea, but most people only know 'two' Canadians - Arcade Fire and ME! So I think it might be a bit of a giveaway!

Ben

(Cue multiple replies with 'well-known' Canadians..I'll start: k d lang!)

Completly off topic now!

[cortezuk]

After hearing 'Weightless Again' by The Handsome Family, I am now planning on sending Simon & Sofia hundreds of e-mails to get them to play

[judgeatnam]

Bands for 2010......

EELS

DEATH CAB FOR A CUTIE

ROBYN HITCHCOCK AND THE VENUS 3/SOFTBOYS anything but an acoustic set!

YO LA TENGO (best band seen so far at EOR)

BELLE AND SEBASTIAN

BILLY CHILDISH

THE HEAVY

PULP

MORE UPBEAT MUSIC REQUIRED LATER IN THE DAY SO THAT THE MORE MELLOW BANDS CAN BE APPRECIATED AFTER A HARD NIGHT!

[judgeatnam]

Yes, as long as they get a decent slot, and in the Big Top. Their teatime Garden Stage performance at EOTR 2008 was probably the weakest I've seen them do.

Good call for Scott Matthews - saw him at Latitude and was well impressed.

[Dave S]

Robert Post pls

[GeordieMartin]

British sea power, Nurses, The Sumner Brothers, Steve Abel, Bill Callahan.

That's all I ask.

[TinSoldier]

A vote for British Sea Power from me as well, kind of missed them this year.

[GeordieMartin]

Oh I forgot to add The Flaming Lips.

[cessy5]

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds

Mick Harvey

Eliza Carthy

Bon Iver

Cat Power

Papa M

Devastations

The Drones

The Only Ones

Norah Jones

Damien Rice

Josh T Pearson

Fleet Foxes

Richard Hawley

Noah and The Whale

Paulo Nutini

Darren Hayman

Dirty Three

Palodine

[cheesehead]

Gotta say, the lineup this year was incredibly strong - I could only allow myself one festival this year, and the lineup for EOTR was streets ahead of the others, even before the Hold Steady. Then all the bands that made me buy a ticket were great, and many of the ones I'd never heard of were brilliant.

The whole experience was so great I'll be there next year whoever they sign up (I trust their judgement), but if I had three small wishes....

- Blitzen Trapper back on one of the bigger stages.

- At least one old-school head-bobbing r'n'r band headlining - DBT or Lucero (new album today - buy it buy it buy it) would be perfect.

- Bob Log III in charge of everything, goddamnit.

I can honestly say I haven't heard of any of them.

However I am intrigued by The Left-Handed Flange.

[perfectpassion]

Funny how a name can intrigue one! Im off to look up Fredian Slap now lol Cheers x

[Sipperana]

Totally agree about British Sea Power. We need to see them again in a heaving sweaty big top tent around midnight. Did you hear them doing Johnathon Richman covers at three in the morning in the Tipi tent? I did, as they woke me from my sweet dreams which was a nice awakening!
