PSB

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

And there was me up until a couple of months ago thinking everyone was on about the Pet Shop Boys

 

Uck'nell, I need to get out more!

[LondonTom]

I've seen their live footage on youtube but I doubt it does it justice.  How well does it actually transfer to a live show in terms of atmosphere etc? If you don't really know them particularly well is it worth catching their set?

Oh its fantastic! I am bit of a covert after seeing them on Saturday at BST, didn't really get it listening on record but even without all their light show set up I thought they was brilliant live!

 

I am quite tempted by them at Glasto now!

[jparx]

Quite the unfortunate spelling in the programme...

 

 

Surely it doesn't say Pubic Service Broadcasting?!

Urgh, puts a whole other meaning on a 'spitfire bird'

[When Jokers Attack]

One of sets of the wekend, left George Clinton half way through as wasn't enjoying it much and kept thinking about how good PSB would be, so headed along and arrived during Night Mail. It was busy but managed to get myself a pretty good space in the crowd after a bit of effort and they ended up being a perfect way to end off the Saturday night.

They were brilliant. I was flagging a bit by Saturday night but PSB helped me find my mojo again. One of the best sets of the weekend for me.

[northernbro]

Superb, caught the last 50 minutes of their set after leaving kanye

 

Go! was magnificent as was The Other Side - caught me hard in the feels

 

 

Special band and something really different

[fat_man_joe]

Perfect set. Don't know the new album too well but it was fantastic live.

 

That screachy bit in Night Mail always gives me the ultimate chills as well.

Was at West Holts and during the break we decided to head off. Was PSB v Leftfield for me but as some mates were for the Glade went along and was glad I did. Absolutely brilliant and spent it dancing beside this gorgeous girl and had a real good laugh. Brilliant Saturday night altogether and Glade was perfect venue for them I think

Sadly didn't see them this year, but this is a lovely piece of writing http://jwillgoose.tumblr.com/

One of the highlights of the weekend for me.  Made even more special now by Willgooses (!?) post above.  Took along 2 people who had never heard PSB before and they were both blown away.  There is a clip on youtube of them playing GO!

yep absolutely loved it and me and the gf were completely taken by the whole spectacle. deliberately watched 10 mins of kanye before going to Suede as we knew we had time, but got bored with suede so went down to PSB. Only caught about half an hour of it but it was unbelievable. Everest is our new favourite song and a proper glastonbury moment. amazing. 

[siblin]

"GO!" - so wish this was recorded.  the band clearly loved everyone shouting it.

 

My only slight niggle was that the spaceport bar next door were bleeding sound everwhere, so the quieter, moodier songs were spoiled slightly by this constant "thump thump".  You'd have thought they'd have some common sense here when acts like PSB are on, and just maybe turn it down a notch, or improve their sound isolation.

[Space Shanty]

Anyone going to the Brixton gig in November?

Last date on the tour and they've promised some one-offs and special guests.

I'm expecting something memorable

[Space Shanty]

Yeah should be a good night. Healthy ticket sales this far out apparently

 

If I'm honest, I'm annoyed with myself for not going on Saturday night despite enjoying Leftfield anyway.

It looked amazing, as I knew it would be.

But I'm hoping Brixton will make up for it, although it won't have that festival vibe that would have made Saturday that bit special

Utterly wonderful.  I think this may deserve a thread of its own, since it's not really about PSB at all, just written by one of them.

Yeah I read this yesterday sat in Bristol Airport and I felt myself getting emotional.

It's excellent stuff.

They seem proper sound as well.

Every time I tweet them, they reply very quickly, which is nice given I'm a nobody

[verrymerry]

We caught a bit of Suede before heading over to the Glade & I'm so glad we did! Met some lovely guys at the back, one had a felt animal in his hat called William & one was definitely on eFestivals but I didn't catch his name

Set was brilliant, I completely lost it when they played GO!

[Abu T Hamster]

Everytime i see them they just get better.     Simple as that.

I'd agree with that - haven't seen them for a year or two and they were pretty damn good then, this year second best set of the weekend for me only narrowly beaten to top spot by Alabama 3 in the Glade the night before

[TomViolence]

One of my favourite sets of the weekend, loved every minute! Was nice to see everyone else getting into it too

[Baby On A Stick]

My set of the weekend. Love em & seen them a few times but the thought of seeing them in the Glade sold it. Right decision. The Other Side was a bit of a moment for me. Loved it!!!!

[FuzzyDunlop]

Every review is fantastic. Our group was split

4/5. 4 went to PSB, 5 of us went to Leftfield. All of us had a great time, but all of us wished we could have been at both.

Will need to see these guys soon.

[tjamest]

I think it has made a big difference moving bringing in an extra musician. Definitely a much bigger sound from when I saw them last (2013)

[johnmcga]

Just a heads up for any PSB fans around (like me).

 

They just tweeted that they've released a few tickets for their show at the BFI (yes really) in London this evening. Should be ace on the big screen there.
