I watched them on Jools Holland and they seemed average but I think the OP is right they will be massive in 2010, like, Friendly Fires style massive (and FF are quite decent). I can imagine they would be playing on The Other Stage if they release an album because they sound like they could really do well, they've got that cool, slick image. (Please note that this is not a dig before you go at me) and most people seem to enjoy that Indie Electronica vibe. I wouldn't really rush to see them if they played personally but I'm sure they would go down well with other Glasto goers. (Can't really say the younger crowd cause I'm young myself :P)

On a side note, it really grates on me when people describe gigs as being "Like a rave". I don't know why but it just makes me cringe, or maybe I just need to get out more.

I saw them supporting Doves, and thought they were bloody good. Orbital meets New Order pretty much sums it up. The beats and the dreamy cross-rhythm chiming loops are straight out of the Orbital playbook, and the songs and the voice are very New Order. Neither of these are bad things!

The live drumming is delightfully intense. The rest of the band drifts from playing electric guitar and bass, to manning sequencers and Kaoss pads. It makes for a good show. The singer plays bass...

I don't think they have as much impact on record as they do live. But I definitely enjoyed them live and loud at the Leamington Assembly.

*Possibly* the impact might be lost on a big stage such as the Pyramid/Other.

I didn't think much of the album at first, few stand out tracks but felt a bit samey. But I saw them in Wigan the other night and they are so much better live, they put on a really good show and live the music really comes alive.

      It would be piss-easy for a bot to manage, though.

      Ticket tips and Tricks 2027

      By kalifire · Posted

      I've heard that ticket sales for other events that use the same system have included the question 'are you still there?' on each window/browser you have with a place in the queue. If you don't confirm you are, it'll assume you're not and that place will drop.   I've no idea if Glasto/See will adopt this, but it would be challenging to keep on top of with many windows open.

      Glastonbury 2027 ticket price predictions

      By kalifire · Posted

      People who're struggling are already priced out, so I don't think a bump in price will affect who attends. There'll still be a cross section, leaning young. I also think they'll do a soft breaking of the £400 ceiling, keeping the ticket price just below but having postage take it over. Next year the ticket itself will be over that threshold.

      Not sure if this has been mentioned but new La Roux album out November - was meant to play in 2020 but hasn't found her way back onto a lineup. If any excuse just to hear this absolute banger on the fields next year!
