Self Confirmed

[Brave Sir Robin]

I see they're playing a few dates in early July with King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, that could solve some clash dilemmas.

Liverpool indie quartet Hooton Tennis Club playing the Friday. Added to the playlist.

An oxymoron surely?

Not fair on Mr Ferry. I came across him at Glasto last year when I gave up on Metallica after two numbers and went walkabout. And he was very impressive with a very tight band. In Cardiff on his present tour he had a seven piece band with three excellent backing singers.

He's now 69 and maybe the voice isn't all that it was but the arrangements and overall production were excellent.

This was probably his best moment with Roxy Music in Frejus back in 1982 and the version of Avalon is tremendous (starts about 4'40"). I'll accept it wasn't this good but it still gives a flavour. Worth watching if only for the amazing backing singer Tawatha Agee from 7'30" on.

Glorious news, do we think WG?

Passenger has just announced a show in Glasgow for June 19th, someone inform me he's booked up all weekend and we will pretend this never happened?

[JoeyT]

All I want is First Aid Kit to self confirm man.

Not even rumoured at the moment, it hurts

[wozwebs]

Like the sound of Hooton Tennis Club, will check them out

Haha, he's only busy on the Sunday with gigs on the 25th in Finland and a gig on 30th June. If I were betting I'd say he'll be on Saturday.

I was really hoping he'd be there, him and Ben Howard would make the festival perfect for me! Looking at those Scandinavian dates makes it seem a bit unlikely he would travel back and forth though?

Nah, he's not old. 25th in Finland, then he could eveneven do Friday at Glastonbury, and then Denmark to Germany isn't that far. I'd kind of like him as well. His touring is very much from here to there etc already.

Stealing Sheep just self-confirmed on 6music. They said they're playing the Crows Nest and a secret gig they're not allowed to talk about. Think they got it the wrong way round

Buttoned Down Disco have confirmed they're doing William's Green on the Sunday night.

Expected but awesome still.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Electronic shoegazers from Seoul Idiotape playing the Thursday. Can Heewon Moon on here tell us anything about them I wonder?

[Brave Sir Robin]

Now added Idiotape to the playlist. No idea why they're referred to as shoegaze, it's upbeat electronica with a live drummer. I can see them going down very well with a fair few eFesters:

Now that is a nice find, thanks for the YouTube link, never heard of them before but they are now on my list to see for sure.

[Mardy]

I quite like that, yeah. Nice one

Yeah, like that a lot, the sort of band I look forward to hunting out at Glasto, I can see them at Williams Green now. And I will be there. Thanks!

[whisty]

^^ First band added to my list, thanks, kick things off nicely

Remind me of Jojo Mayer & Nerve with a bit more pace but less accomplished, in the nicest possible way.

Meh, I do it at least twice a year in Koko. It's good fun for those who don't live near one though.

[JoeyT]

Also bloody hope leftfield are in the next announcement. Will be gutted if they aren't there

Rather enjoyed that! Will likely check them out if I'm nearby when they're on! This is actually the first new act I've listened to since the week following the initial announcement. I keep telling myself that the full line-up won't be too far off and I'll make a proper go at it then but I'm starting to feel I should get the task underway sooner rather than later!

Well, someone's got to buck the trend....

That was shite.

[found home in 2009]

Idiotape seemed good fun. Will have to remember the name.

I'm a sucker for a dance act with a live drummer. Makes it feel like more of a performance for me than when its just some guy with a laptop.

[Riggins]

Surely fidlar are as good as confirmed with a London show on the 23rd
