The Kooks are a typical indie shity pop band with guitars... I'd never group a band like The Kooks with The Black Keys! I'd definitely say they were just simply Rock/BluesRock/Alternative but I don't think it's a huge deal, unless it's a topic of conversation like it is now, I dont think I'd ever criticise someone for labelling them as Indie?

Which is a shame, as being a indie band is used in a derogative way in recent years, where proper indie bands in my view were brilliant.

Bands like Belle and seastian, stereolab, sparklehorse, carter, smiths etc etc.

It's exactly the same as emo. When i was younger it was used to describe people like Jimmy Eat World and Dashboard Confessional and no-one cared, now it just seems to be used as a term to throw at any young American pop punk band to try and put them down

How about some older bands on the NME Stage? Fun Lovin' Criminals, Super Furry Animals, The Dandy Warhols, The Cult, Silverchair, Belle & Sebastian, any one of them will do!

I've always been puzzled by genres,i can remember when grunge came out and i loved all the bands but soundgarden,nirvana,alice in chains and pearl jam didnt sound anything like each other but they were all labelled grunge.

same thing with nu-metal,the top nu-metal bands were korn,papa roach,limp bizkit and linkin park. who on earth lumped those four bands together in the same genre??

The Used were another bizarre one, to me they were a stright up rock band, but everyone called them emo(!!??!)

      Fontaines getting the honour of the last ever BBC Maida Vale session going out on 6 Music shortly.   No Glastonbury relevance (for now.. ), just thought I'd mention it for those who are interested 😎

      Had a wonderful booking in one of our primary woodland venues this weekend. A 30th birthday arranged by a load of musicians and entertainment industry professionals. It was primarily a folk oriented event, however I noticed one young woman who didn’t seem to fit dress and appearance wise. Turned out to be Frenetic, one of the top up and coming UK Jungle and DnB DJ’s.    Anyway Saturday night turned into an EDM session and I got to do a set. Slightly nervous considering who was there, it was great and Frenetic loved my set. She’s closing Data Mine at Shambala this year.

      they got lucky and the thunderstorms stayed away. It was still wet of course. Some of those boot sucking puddles did emerge from what a couple friends saw who were there.  Post fest aerial also below   and also a sapphic mud wrestling contest?

      It's even less funny when in real life too...   Liddle met Rachel Royce and the couple soon became romantically involved.[84] In January 2004 the couple married at a ceremony in Malaysia. They had been living in Heytesbury, Wiltshire, and had two sons together. Six months later, Liddle moved in with Alicia Monckton, a 22-year-old receptionist at The Spectator. It transpired that he had cut short his honeymoon with Royce so that he could be with Monckton. Following their divorce, Liddle and Royce exchanged attacks in the media. Liddle called her a "total slut and slattern"
