Wild Beasts

[FloorFiller]

only reason i'm pushing so hard for them to be on Other is that if they're lower on the bill on Other i'll get to see them whereas if they're headlining John Peel i'll probably miss them. i reckon they'd work on Other. if they play their 'hits' / singles like they tend to do it wouldn't be any weirder than a lot of acts on Other

Can't see it working well for Wild Beasts on Other. Get em in the John Peel.

I checked back on what nufc1978 had posted about them earlier, and (if i'm remembering correctly what I read) he said JP. I think it might have been as headliner.

(no, my info is nothing to do with his and his might be wrong [i don't know]. I know with 100% certainty that the info I've got is kosher tho.)

at the moment im not personally thinking i will see any of the rumoured headliners so they could work for me as a JPT headliner

but obviously we dont know the full lineup as yet!

Neil, is your info that they are playing this year, just not where?

yep - I don't have any 'where' info.

But now my memory has woken up a bit, I'm thinking that nufc1978 said they'd headline the park (and not what I said above).... you can check for yourself via the search. I dunno if he's right, tho I suspect he probably is.

[FloorFiller]

they headlined the Park in 2011 so surely they wouldn't headline it again just three years later?

no idea, tho they've not really got any bigger.

New album sounds very good to my ears

[Zoo Music Girl]

Just gave it a first spin - loving it already and suspect it will grow on me further.

I love this band!

Reasonably nice wee mix from Wild Beasts here.

I saw them in the JP tent in 2010 and they were brilliant. Didn't manage to catch them in 2011. I hope they play this year, but as others have said, I think they would be a bit lost on the Other stage.

Two Dancers is an absolutely asounding album. How that didn't win the Mercury I have no idea.

Gave the new album a listen last night, seems pretty good. Will have to give it a few more listens for it to sink in properly though.

Mecca is the loveliest song I have heard in ages

[suzie sue]

Number 10 album, maybe other stage too high a slot

[Zoo Music Girl]

Premature?

Plus Blondie will clash with AF or Prince

[Zoo Music Girl]

I need something to do at work.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Watched some of it. Decided to look for the weirdest female in the crowd during Graceless and name her Zoo Music Girl.

Didn't look as good as Sydney.

Keep the National love in, to its own thread

Pretty much what the missus says about me.

Sorry I started a new thread earlier but will keep this going instead. Saw WB at manchester Albert hall last night. Great show! Would go down a storm at Glastonbury in the dark. Anyone else there?
