Jett Rebel

Kovacs

Jacco Gardner

and, of course, John Coffey!

I fairly recently (if you can count last July) came accross Dingus Khan for the first time. Great fun, I'd love to see them somewhere at Glastonbury...

This link won't work because they never do on my works PC but here we go anyway....

Also at discovered Eurosonic, and probably the most likely to appear at Glastonbury this year:

Gavin James

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Surprised at the Famy suggestion... saw them at the great escape last year and they were unquestionably the worst band I've ever seen (including school talent competitions). Maybe it was an off day.

Yeah the people I saw them with at Blissfields said similar things, having said that I enjoyed Peace when they first released an EP so I have a long history of liking the sound of bands to then give them an extended listen and wonder what on earth I was thinking - time will tell on the Famy front I guess.

The link works for me!

The performance, I hate to admit, not so much.

Another great Icelandic band...Mammút. I think the bassist is the sister of Sigur Rós' drummer or something.

Also, Cloud Castle Lake...

Seem to remember catching them last year. Did they open John Peel one day? We were camped right next to it and went to check them (if it was them) out.

Just found out about Abuela Coca (they've only been around since 1991....) but I could imagine this on a Sunny afternoon at West Holts or the Gully

I can see that. I didn't think much of John Coffey until I was there at an in-store show, watching them (and their audience) turn the whole place upside down in the span of 15 minutes. Any band that can inspire mosh pits and crowd-surfing like this at an in-store, must be doing something right.

Alvvays

Caught them last Saturday in king Tuts in Glasgow. Excellent young canadian band. Picture a contemporary Teenage fanclub, with a female singer. Brilliant gig for January.

Not new, but the Decemeberists have a new album out - going to see them in February - would love them at the park.

[bocumaroy]

BC Camplight. From last year, People Get Ready and Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens.

[Callum_96]

A band called Hyena are really cool, great sound, loud guitars reminds me a bit of drenge. Check out a song called Mental Home (sorry don't know how to do links)

Love Kitty Daisy and Lewis. They did a documentary on BBC 3 that is worth tracking down.

I am seeing Alvvays on Saturday - will give a report afterwards.

[Padgey]

I think Kitty, Daisy and Lewis played in 2011 in the Avalon Tent, I could be wrong.

Their great! Saw them at Bestival last year and really like what their doing!

[A Guy Called Matt]

This is fantastic and the non acoustic version on the new album is even better!!!

[eFestivals]

We all were

Given the new Siskiyou album my ears for a little bit because of Owen Pallett's involvement, really excellent stuff.
