Delphic

[Cockney_Jesus]

Just because they use synths doesn't mean they're a 'dance act'

Going to see them this month in Notting Hill so i'll be able to see for myself.

Thats a really bad argument, its like saying if you took hendrix's guitar away he would be an average singer

[BlackHole2006]

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 )

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.

Really just getting into the album, sounds great and interesting point about being lost on the Pyramid ( a la Fleet foxes?!)

Dance tent headline potential?

[BANJOBANJOBANJO]

Really brilliant live band. Would definitely see them again at glastonbury.

Self confirmed on the latest Gonzo in interview with Zane Lowe

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.

Saw them at Dingwalls and it was the best gig for a new act I've been to in ages. Be great to see them at Glasto.
