I live in Somerset (not far from Pilton as it happens),... but willing to travel for bands.

Unfortunately I'm a poor student and will have to be at uni the following day. Saturdays and sometimes Fridays are okay. Having to travel to the other end of the country for The Cure this year already.

It is Easter weekend so Monday is free from work/school

Can't help with the poor student thing though, which is why festivals are great, pound for pound you get more music for you money

I fucking hate Londoners.

Fucking tell me about it, I'm so far away (Glasgow) that's it's hard to justify, but it's under serious consideration

This sounds interesting

Edit: That's a pretty impressive lineup. Would be good if they end up playing although I'm not sure if any of them are busy over Glastonbury. 

Also it's been quite a day for announcements hasn't it? We've had Radiohead, this, PJ Harvey and The Last Shadow Puppets announcing their album album release dates as well as the former releasing a song from it as well as the Primavera lineup. What a time to be alive.

Oh shit, sounds exciting. I had assumed we were due for a QOTSA return by now but I'll take this.

Iggy's got a bunch of festival dates in June. I would be surprised if it's fully planned with festivals and stuff as it just seems like a Desert Sessions type jam thing but I'll gladly be wrong.

Yeah I imagine it'll just end up being a handful of gigs in major cities, especially if Iggy Pop has festivals already.

I just spotted this at the end of the article.

“There won’t be hardly any shows, and they won’t be in big places, and you won’t be able to get a ticket,” Mr. Homme said. “So almost everyone won’t see it. It will be like trying to catch smoke in your hands. And that makes it even better. It will be special, and it will be over in the blink of an eye.”

So I guess there won't even be a low-key show somewhere in the UK either. Ah well.

Wonder if this is instead of or as well as the Homme-produced Iggy Pop album coming out. Can't figure out.

Ah that's a shame. Pretty decent that the first performance is tonight though.

I was tempted to travel down to London for ATDI but it's on Easter Sunday, fuck that shit.

Are the details of the album or anything announced?

nope just a promise of new music being released in 2016

[dentalplan]

Anyone listened to the new Suede record? I liked Bloodsports, and I know many didn't, but this one is certainly leagues above that. Very impressed.

Also been listening to the new Fat Whites album and, while it's a good album, it's very different as they've traded out the sleazy rock 'n' roll for psychedelic, perhaps krautrock-y tunes. Dunno what it spells for their live show but we'll surely find out in June.

yep Bloodsports was good but this new one is really great. enjoying it a lot at the moment

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah I'm enjoying it too. A brave move forward but it definitely paid off. Shame they played last year as I'd love to see them at Glasto off the back of this. 

I'm liking the new Savages too. 

[the wonderwhy]

New Joy Formidable music this week 

[Andeeroo]

Anyone listened to the new Savages album yet? How is it?

I would have a listen myself but it's Monday and I'm already dark and intense as it is.

I like it. Hasn't hit me as much as Silence Yourself yet but will keep listening. Looking forward to seeing them for the first time next month.  

[kingcrawler]

 

The new Joy Formidable song is pretty good. Albums out 25th March.

 

[the wonderwhy]

I preferred the belter they put out on the radio the other day, but yeah this is decent. Interesting development in sound. 

[Andy0808 v5]

I mean I felt extremely uncomfortable watching that video on full screen, but a good song regardless. 

[dentalplan]

Pretty shit song fams. Video is interesting as it must be how it feels for a woman to watch most music videos.

It was better than I expected but it was bad, so sadly it wasn't funny-bad like Drones and like promised by The Love Within but it's just boring-bad. Didn't really feel like I was listening to Bloc Party at any point.

yeah nail on the head. didn't feel like a Bloc Party album at all and so many of the songs just aimlessly plodded on. they've done bad songs in the past but they were at least interesting. this sounds like they didn't even try
