Just because Catfish and his band of bellends have grafted for a bit doesn't mean their indie landfill nonsense entitles them to play anywhere.

Probs means they will play somewhere though, remember that bugg fella...

edit: read that out of context, get ur point

Fat White Family can get in the bin too, frauds. Best new band in the country (for me) is Wolf Alice. If anyone wants to enlighten me otherwise I'm all ears.

actually scratch my earlier decision, not that new but savages by a mile.

Ughhhh why are they frauds now?

I think Wolf Alice are fine. Nothing particularly interesting going on to make me think "so excited for the new Wolf Alice" or similar and while I can happily listen to their stuff and see them and what-not; if they really were the best new band in the country then that'd be a pretty distressing.

edit: also why are we discussing this here? I bet people are popping in to see about self confirmations. :P

I'm gonna exempt them from the competition I have now created, been around ages now.

If we're taking specifics I saw wolf alice in summer 2013 and according to someone on here catfish have been touring for years.

For me, new band means (usually) 1 album in, or obviously no albums and just EPs/singles etc.

They come across as a massive gimmick. They were a shambles every time I've seen them and on Letterman this week.

Not that we have much else to talk about! Though two/three bands are self confirmed so :)

Aye, Wolf Alice have grafted just as much but no album out, they just don't bang on about it as much as Van (is this even his real name?) McCann.

I saw a bit of that, agreed it wasn't up to much. They covered 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' I think??

They covered that when I saw them at y not a couple of years ago, they played mid afternoon just as the sun was coming out, it was the perfect time slot for them

Edit: balls I didn't notice I was on an old page when looking at that post ignore me

Is Gonzo being silly? I thought he was one of efests' foremost arbiters of great taste, this is a vexing development.

Surely the joke is that Catfish are so generic, Gonzo is substituting in pictures of any old indie landfill band instead? The fact that no one seemed to notice at first just proves Gonzo's point

I like this thread being on topic so you've all inspired me to search for some confirmations.

Nice - there are a few SC's hidden over the last few days as well.

(In response to Winslow's post)

Well yes, but you could do the same with many genres and have the same effect.

I wouldn't know Wolf Alice if they walked into me. I wouldn't recognise Kanye, Hot Chip, Courtney Barnet or many of the other tbc acts. It doesn't prove anything.

Or indeed any of the acts Dentalplan just posted.

Nice work.

Didn't the charlatans say they didn't have anything confirmed either yesterday or Saturday? Bloody liars ;)

    • 90,000 on a single for day or over the weekend?   if it was for the whole weekend that’s disastrous   Given camping didn’t sell out unless they in effect transferred a lot of camping captivity to Chappell Roan day tickets 90,000 is absolute capacity there I think, so it would be hard to believe   i think it’s from the year before but the TPD tv footage when the killers are headlining makes it look like it’s at best half full
    • A part of me thinks weirdly they might hold off on Chaka/Robbie until they have a year where nobody else who fits the bill is available. This slot takes a very specific set of criteria, and I can't imagine they're flushed with options who are on tour and would take the smaller payday every year. Both Chaka and Robbie have expressed interest in doing it, so they're bankers for a year where fewer options are available. Which may well be 2027.
    • Chaka and Robbie got to have decent chances due to previous reports
    • Chaka is a west holts act all day long and yes please (as part of my vaguely purple day that I am still trying to make happen).   Teatime? Bryan Adams.
