Kendal Calling 2013

[Jacko450]

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I will this year be attending Primevera Festival in Barcelona.

Currently taking bets on how many mm's of rain it will get due to me being there!

[Flaminglippy]

I wonder if they bring Paul weller back seen as his show was ditched due to the weather ! Not going that night if he is ! Miserable shit!

Yeah...had the misfortune of seeing him once. 2 hours of noodly crap.

I'm not sure if franz would be classed as too big, they've really done very little in years, as far as I can remember they've never done arena tours and have just pottered around academy sized gigs rather than taking the next step. They've got a decent catalogue but I don't think theyre current enough to have priced themselves out of kendals pocket.

Wether or not they're actually touring or playing festivals next year is a different matter though !

[ramragon]

im not a big springsteen fan but i took the opportunity to watch him over franz cos i thought i'll never go and see a springsteen gig outside of a festival where as i cud imagine picking up franz tickets any time they played local. gotta say i enjoyed his set and dont regret it

[Jacko450]

Hoping for ''The Chevin'' for KC

Anyone listening to these guys?

Huge already in the USA, big shout but I would compare them to U2.

Have a listen to ''Champion''

[LOCHLAND5]

As festivals like a bit of pop c'mon t in the park had Cher Lloyd so keeping with in the tight budget KC obviously have how about these guys for a bit of fun ......

theyre touring in december al, with jesus jones and pop will eat itself as support. only playing a few dates though and nowhere in manc land !

leeds, liverpool or brum would be ur closest options

[ramragon]

saw band of skulls last night and they were as good as the other times ive seen them, playing an excellent rock set to a small crowd upstairs in digital. cant imagine theyd cost the earth and theyd be good for a calling out set

Think Delphic will be there...

[Flaminglippy]

I saw Delphic a couple of years ago....one of the best live bands I've seen!

cant seem to link it on my galaxy tab but check out counterpoint by delphic on you tube. sure ill get shot by someone for the comparison but theyve got a similar style to 2 door, bit more serious sound to them though.

[LOCHLAND5]

Got the chance of going to see elbow in madchester tomorrow ........... But apart from one or 2 of their obvious tunes I'm no that much of a fan!

I watched a south bank show a few years ago and was a bit disturbed by their fans they all seemed to be a bunch of middle aged tree huggers having a spiritual moment watching them ........... Or even worse they were aroused !

Should I stay or should I go ............ You decide !

Go, don't even think about it. Whatever you think of them guy garvey is one of the most engaging lead singers with the audience you'll find. I've seen them 6 times now from the early days and loved them every time.

I do prefer the earlier stuff from asleep in the back and cast of thousands but I'd never turn the opportunity to see them down.

Gotta say, I don't think you'll find many people on here who wouldnt say "go to the gig", its tree hugger central and most people don't have a problem with elbow !

[LOCHLAND5]

Here's a link to the south bank show

Gonna pass , I don't see you 2 as tree huggers so I don't feel bad !

Bit too close to Xmas and I'm just not bothered .

Plus me Robbie tickets didn't sell , the handbrake has found out I got them and has claimed them and just got off the phone organising to go with her friend, thank god I don't have to go!

Today is going to be all about the kindle fire hd and the iPad mini , my two bratz are wanting a tablet each for Xmas ................ More money !
