Know the name but that's it, intrigued now, where's a man to start? For the sort if stuff he's doing now? Try Blues Funeral, Phantom Radio or (my favourite) Bubblegum. There's an anthology of earlier stuff, something about God and Shadows, can't remember the exact title. Any of those will give you a flavour of what he's about.

eFestivals Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 well, I'm surprised ... Lanagan's people have now sent out a press release - and including the Glasto date. I would have thought it would have got jumped on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This album that came out last year on Strut is a bit of a belter. Though why Isaac Hayes is on the cover I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can make up for seeing BFMV over him at Leeds 2012, 5 years on. John Peel? You missed a treat!! 11 hours ago, ogriff said: Sadly he isn't one for looking back. I don't think he ever plays Screaming Trees stuff. I've seen him a few times and never heard him play any trees stuff. 4 hours ago, Gnomicide said: I don't think I've ever knowingly heard anything by him.

Bubblegum is my favourite of his solo stuff though, absolutely cracking album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halo of Ashes and Where the Twain Shall Meet if I remember correctly Halo of ashes is one of my all time favourites, so is the album though! Definitely in my top five albums ever!

I saw him supporting Dark Mark last year (he also played bass in his band) and he was very good n'all. Brooding arty folk rock type stuff. I found his set awful.

justperfect Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Cabbage have "liked" a comment I made regarding a Glastonbury appearance on their facebook page, its the only reply the band have acknowledged, im taking this as a self confirmation and predict a mid afternoon slot in the JP with an unannounced set at the BBC introducing.

EamerRed Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 I saw them before watching Blossoms in Bristol and assumed they were some sort of joke band so didn't really take them seriously Might need to listen and give them a second chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If @Mardy's bubble gum is even half as good, then I hope he headlines Acoustic one night. Him on Sat, Lips on JP on Sunday then I'd even consider giving Thom a try on the Friday. He's playing Friday so no headline slots no sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioahed Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 I saw Cabbage in Hull last year, not seen a band that pissed/out of it for a long time but still put on a good show. I think the bigger the get they will have to toe the line more and more which will be shame and lose what got them the press in the first place.

I'd still pick that but it would mean I would probably be solo. Where else do people put him if not there. Early pyramid. Evening Park? He'll be middle of the pack on Other or JP, I reckon. Could do evening Park but that'd be annoying i'd likely be at the Pyramid then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If @Mardy's bubble gum is even half as good, then I hope he headlines Acoustic one night. Bubblegum is superb. QOTSA and PJ Harvey are on it. A couple of his best tunes are on there. Homme is on the new album too. Maybe check out Field Songs after that. One Way Street, No Easy Action and Resurrection Song are standards in his sets. Cracking album. 30 minutes ago, Scruffylovemonster said: Where else do people put him if not there. Early pyramid. Evening Park? Depends on the band he has with him. "The Mark Lanegan Band" usually means a full band though. Last tour was acoustic sort of. Think the last time I saw him with a full band was the Bubblegum tour. Hopefully not The Park though. Its a bit grim up there after dark. I also can't overstate how good the Whiskey for the Holy Ghost re-release sounds on vinyl. Especially when drinking whiskey.

Gucci Piggy Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 29 minutes ago, Scruffylovemonster said: Trouble with low down JP, they tend to only get 40-45 mins. Would rather an hour at the park - or better still, an hour on the pyramid just before Iggy, as Black hole says, but can't see that. I assume Black Hole meant on the JP before Iggy plays Pyramid, since he was replying to a post asking if he'd be sub or lower on JP. Not a chance Mark Lanegan plays 4th down the Pyramid Stage... (I'm assuming Iggy would be 3rd) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Lanegan won't be within an asses roar of the Pyramid Stage. Have seen him countless times and think hes mumbled "thank you" about 3 or 4 times in total and thats it. Where are the Iggy rumours coming from btw?!

Fingerbobs Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) I switched off at Bubblegum for some reason. it just didn't do it for me so I gently closed the door to my Lanegan room and haven't peeped in since. I second Field Songs as a high point but also his covers album I'll Take Care of You which blew me away when I got it, esp coming after (s)craps at midnight.
