Glastonbury Vs TiTP?

[Alcatraz]

Just to make sure we're on the same page here -- I was talking about The Joy Formidable at Glastonbury.

They were *awesome*. I ordered tickets for their Brum gig in October, as soon as I got home.

Where they at? (Ie what venue)

[Alcatraz]

HMV Institute, Digbeth High St. Oct 13th.

Originally it was advertised as the HMV Institute Library (600 capacity) but I suspect they've been moved into the main room now.

That photo would have been me at Glasto, had QOTSA cancelled

Yeah I've been there for a club night. I'm tempted

I saw the Decemberists there last year. Nice venue. It's a Victorian theatre, with balconies. Feels a bit like the Shepherd's Bush Empire in some ways.

In the 90s it was owned by Andy Taylor out of Duran Duran -- and did a pretty good student night.

TJF came on half an hour late because of soundcheck issues.

This is what happens when a vocal group can't hear themselves or the music properly (skip past the intro):

It's like asking a guitarist to perform with an out of tune instrument. It would tarnish their reputation.

The John Peel was having general sound issues that day wasn't it? and they did pretty much full set I think, cos the timings of everyone else was out as well (I stayed there from The Joy Formidable to EveryThing Everything, great few hours hiding from the afternoon blaze . Seemed more like a stage issue than an act issue tbh.

Yeah I feel quite sorry for that girl too, not going to threaten people who laughed though.

I remember being at Reading in 04 I think the day 50 Cent was bottled off. Earlier in the day (pop goth band) The Rasmus were bottled off stage. I remember having quite a chuckle about it when I heard then later seeing a young girl, maybe 12 years old, with a Rasmus t-shirt looking so miserable. She was with her Dad who she'd obviously pleaded with to go with her to a day at Reading to see her favourite band. I felt pretty ashamed for laughing after that.

The picture is sad!

I don't like JLS, but there's a lot of acts at Glastonbury that I don't like. And I wouldn't wish that sadness on people.

And the same for bands being bottled at Reading. I was with a couple of friends who liked Plain White Ts, they were bottled heavily (but stayed on to their credit), nevertheless the gig was ruined, and my friends didn't enjoy themselves because of some selfish pricks who thought they knew best and didn't consider anyone elses feelings. The whole thing made me very angry.

On a side, maybe I should get round to listening to The Joy Formidable.

I a comic turn of events I gave all my +1's to Tommmy, however this post should have had 1.

We just love to judge here, don't we?

In nine Glastos I honestly can't recall any 'no shows'.

I still can't work out if this was a wind up.

Swinning: if it wasn't, then you are a sad individual who is less likely to spot a subtext than a decent festival.

But my word - if it was a wind up then you are one pro of a Troll. Have you considered entering the trolympics?
