Public Service Broadcasting

[The Other Steve]

Just started listening to Public Service Broadcasting this week and its strangely addictive. Anyone got any experience of them live as not sure how they would come across?

[Rumblestripe]

They were sensational last year in Williams Green will they translate to an outdoor stage? I'd think so.

Highly recommended.

I really like the album then saw them play the forum in london and was disappointed. It was just really boring. I cant put my finger on what went wrong really.

I'll probably give them another chance at glastonbury though.

Brilliant in William's Green tent last year with front TV screen and backdrop visuals, will be interesting to see how they come across outdoors on a bigger stage.

I can't help thinking a projector backdrop would look better after dark outside, but I'll hopefully be there to find out.

Saw them at End of the Road last year and they were extremely good. Enjoyed the 'audience interaction'.

Will def see again (not interested in Dolly).

3rd time lucky for me , missed them at Glasto last year knowing I would catch them at SGP a few weeks later , an hour b4 they came on someone passed me a dodgy spliff , major whitey , missed them again !!

[When Jokers Attack]

Was enjoying them last year but had to leave early to see Nick Cave. Wouldn't mind seeing them this year.

I've seen them twice now, once supporting New Order and then at their own headline gig, both times they were absolutely incredible. Would definitely recommend them live, totally different experience and you can experience the songs how the band intended them. I'm a little miffed that they look to be clashing with Dolly Parton...

[Paula-C]

I started listening to them last week and bought their album at the weekend, great stuff. Was wondering myself how the live show would work but would like to catch it, major bummer if it clashes with Dolly though.

[Dave F.]

Seen them twice. Bristol & last year at the festival. Both times really great. Live, the songs have a bit more of a punch & combined with the projections makes for an entertaining gig. I love the way J. Willgoose, Esq. doesn't actually speak to the audience but has pre programmed drum pads to say 'thank you' & 'Hello XXX' in a disjointed, railway announcement style. Recommended.

They're good fun, but the stage visuals are a big part of their show so not sure how it will go down on west holts (unless they are adding screens to west holts)

I saw them at End of the Road also .

They were brilliant - they seemed to dance it up or maybe that was just us !

Free download of Elfstedentocht Parts One & Two, two PSB tracks written for Explore the North Festival in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. They’re both about the Elfstedentocht, or Eleven Cities Tour, the world’s biggest ice-skating marathon.

I saw them twice last year, Williams Green and at the Holmfirth Picturedrome, both gigs were great. It will be interesting to see how they adapt to a bigger stage. I would highly recommend them .

[Ruwise]

I saw them twice last year at Ramsbottom festival and supporting the Manics at The Ritz and really enjoyed them both times.

[sonicpurveyor]

seen them at Williams Green tent last year and were fab, then at Green Man on a small outdoor stage which i just didnt think worked as well, I even messaged the organisers before and after to advise they should have been given an indoor stage to make the most of their visuals, back on form for a late night indoor show at End of the Road which worked fantastically (got to meet them post show as well), and finally on their own tour towards the end of the year, new screens / visuals / lighting etc all worked great. As for outdoors at west holts, their show will work better inside, however hopefully they'll get some further good exposure, i'll be there dancing my moobs off either way!

I'm pretty sure they don't clash with Dolly - I was worried about this too - but it looks like they'll be on just before her, so a quick dash and you shouldn't miss too much of her set.

[It doesn't get any better]

I really rate them and have seem them a couple of times. I would like to see them at G but I am a bit concerned how they will be on a big, daylight stage. Their style is quirky and intimate rather than a big stage presence and I think that their visuals may be a bit lost in that slot.

I'd really like to say they will be brilliant but I am not convinced they will pull it off
