eagles69 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 But I will be watching GOASTT instead (or Flaming Lips if pushed). Saturday at Green Man... Mercury Rev, Neko Case, ahem. Both Mercury Rev and Neko Case has played EOTR so though I agree that Green Man hav a great line up I'm happy at EOTR. Plus EOTR is only half an hour from my house and my kids love it their. Wherever we go will b gr8 but kinda agree that Green Man should b talked about in a Green Man forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Never heard of them. Have they ever been name-checked by Miley Cyrus? Ha! thought not :-) All I've ever said is that: a. Both festivals are great b. I don't buy the "repeat artist" argument because there are as many "EOTR repeat artists" at Green Man as there are at EOTR this year. We even have some former Green Man artists at EOTR (e.g. Flaming Lips), so I'm sure there will always be a good amount of cross-fertilisation - and probably good for it. c. This is a forum for debate chiefly about the EOTR lineup. If you want to feel smug about Green Man, surely there is a better place to do that. It is an eFestivals forum, but it happens to say "End of the Road" at the top of my page, not "Green Man". Enjoy your festival and don't forget your waterproofs.

shoebox Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Any idea who they might bring in to replace the bands that have cancelled? No replacements I'm afraid. I got confirmation on Twitter. They said that they were actually over-booked and as sad as it is that certain bands have pulled out, it actually makes the scheduling a little easier.

paulwa Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 If you really have not heard of slint. I suggest you get hold of spiderland. Just incredible I will, thanks for the recommendation. And in the spirit of brotherly bonding, don't miss Bill Callahan. That is one artist I wish was at EOTR. Dream River is a great album. Country, folk, blues, psychedelic moments, it has the lot.

Born in the fifties Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Still a fair bit of time to change my mind on this, but my current EOTR top 10 is : British Sea Power Deer Tick Horse Thief Israel Nash Jenny Lewis Richard Thompson Robert Ellis The Gene Clark No Other Band The Ghost of the Sabre Tooth Tiger Traams I've omitted overlaps from the festival that I'm not allowed to mention on this thread, but my top 5 overlaps which I've got 2 shots at seeing this month are : Adult Jazz All We Are Samantha Crain The Rails Zachary Cale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulwa Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 British Sea Power Israel Nash Temples St. Vincent Cate Le Bon Archie Bronson Outfit GOASTT Black Lips Woods White Denim Traams, Woods and Mazes also sound interesting. Looking forward to checking them out. It also has to be said that "just chillin' in the afternoon with a beer in front of the Garden Stage" is also one of the star attractions, whoever's on.

Risteardo Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 They must replace Mark Kozelek - surely? Kozelek has cancelled? Oh no! I hadn't heard, and the world has now fallen out of my EoTR. The main guy I wanted to see this year, he has released so much quality material in the past 12 months. My day is ruined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risteardo Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Just to say, I do enjoy this forum, all the more because of it's lack of official seal of approval. Nothing wrong with a bit of EoTR v GM banter either, especially as EoTR has outclassed GM every year since it's inception, this year excepted . But thanks to the members of this forum, I've discovered some really interesting up and coming acts playing EoTR this year, which will hopefully make up for some of the repeat headliners. Cheers guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromoz Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Im going to both. I like both equally.... HOWEVER........i would assume, whilst there is no 'official' EOTR place, that here is the best there is, forum wise. I come here for EOTR chat. GM chat is betterer elsewhere........ Mind you, i think the EOTR line up is bloody ace. I think im in the minority..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoebox Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I haven't seen any confirmation about Kozelek cancelling. I asked EOTR specifically about Wye Oak and Ballet School. I'll be gutted if Mark has cancelled as well but I have yet to see any confirmation that he has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mentioned to another query that the late slot after both main stages finished was created for him, and that any replacement would have to be similarly solo acoustic. 50:50 that they'd get a replacement, they said....

swashbubbler Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 We've been told that the Yo La Tengo Freewheeling show is on same day as their main set and no longer on the comedy stage. Predominantly acoustic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predominantly acoustic? I can't see them playing some of the options on the wheel, like the soundtrack stuff acoustically. Just pray the wheel doesn't fall on Dump. Saw them do it at RFH and it was a Condo Fucks set, which was great. Edited August 11, 2014 by dirtycash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRockRick Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 A body in an EOTR stewards blazer has just been washed up off the Spanish coast and a list has been found in one of the pockets setting out who's withdrawn and who's been booked to replace them. Hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swashbubbler Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 The Melodic weren't listed in the day/ stage splits. Thought they might be a Thursday band but saw an EOTR reply to someone on Facebook or Twitter confirming they'd cancelled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
