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 ;)

    • Absolutely love her record, System. Definitely an album that rewards a bit of commitment.   She's right on my must-see list. Hoping she's in the Walled Garden, as I think her sound might be a bit muddy if she's early-ish in Far Out.   Ben
    • Same here, I kept trying to go on A View From My Seat to see if each block was worth it. So vague!
    • Ok, I’ve had time to process the experience now, so here is my review.   The good Barcelona - what a beautiful place! What lovely people! The city was like another headliner. Stayed in El Poblenou, and the bars, cafes and restaurants were perfect. Avalanches - Absolutely spectacular, euphoric set. Fantastic stage. Possibly enhanced by substances that I timed right, for a change. Added bonus that I don’t really remember the queue. The Cure - I’ve been a fan for 34 years, and never got round to seeing them, so this was a dream come true. The XX - The sound was exceptional. The lights and setlist perfect, giving each member their moment. Was really loud where I was standing (between the front and the sound desk), but i didn’t notice any chatters - even during the quieter moments. Also loved Men I Trust, .bd. , Big Thief, NewDad and Gorillaz. The food within Parc Del Fòrum was also a lot better than I was expecting.   The bad People talking non-stop throughout some of the sets, and shouting to be heard over the music. I had to move 3 times during Wet Leg just to be able to hear the band over the crowd. It’s probably an age thing, but I just don’t understand it. You’ve paid how much to watch these acts, and now you’re standing with your back to the stage, missing the music and ruining the experience for everyone else? Odd behaviour.   The weather apocalypse on Thursday. I genuinely thought I would be able to tough it out. I couldn’t. Left after Geese. The lack of communication from Primavera didn’t help.   Whilst it was lovely to be by the sea, and the sunsets were very pretty, the site is a bit…concrete-y, isn’t it? I kind of longed for some grass and trees. Often found ourselves standing on the steps by the Adidas yard by some bamboo. This was probably a subconscious need for some nature. The fact that some of the nature included cockroaches did not negatively affect the experience.   My daughter, for running away when she saw the drug dogs in the queue on Thursday, meaning that I lost her for the whole evening. She hid her stash under a bench, and it miraculously survived the storms.   Also, can someone explain the point in having a wristband, when you still have to show your ticket every time you enter and leave the site?   Finally, I would like to nominate myself as one of the bad things about this year’s Primabera. I should have done Primavera a lot better. It was my first one, so I’m still learning, but I think I left too early on the Thursday. Left after the Cure on Friday, so I would be full of energy on Saturday, and then barely made it to the end of Gorillaz anyway, meaning I missed Overmono, Skrillex, Skullcrusher, Kneecap, and a few more I would have liked to see.   All in all Amazing lineup. Decent food options. Cupra and Cupra Pulse stages were very impressive. Weather was perfect for 3 out of the 4 days i attended.   It was always likely to be a ‘one and done’ for me, but we had a blast, even if I am starting to get too old for all this.
    • That Wednesday Razzmatazz slot is one of the best/prime slots! 
    • If they fancy chucking something together last knockings, i'm up for it! 😄 Got to get a cat sitter, but i'm 95% there
