danbailey80 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) This band name has appeared on festival listings high up and no one knows who they are. Looks like it might something to do with Ben Howard. My guessing is iit has to have him in it otherwise no one would put them high up on the listings. They are on at Latitude around same time so surely very possible they are at G? Ben Howard's last album was incredible and nothing like the first, would love to see him there in some form. http://www.nme.com/blogs/mysterious-band-appearing-festival-bills-blaze-feather-2025332 Edited March 24, 2017 by danbailey80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 According to the highly reliable source of reddit it's a pseudonym for a project with Ben Howard, Micky Smith and Nat Wason they are playing a few festivals this year so it's possible they could make an appearance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurdy Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I've read suggestions that it may have had Ben Howard involved but not necessarily performing. Then Latitude put them high up on the bill which would suggest he will be performing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've collaborated before as 'Corsaire' on the 'Spirit of Akasha' soundtrack. So prob expect more of the brooding soundscapes. I wouldn't be surprised if the live show incorporated visuals from Mickey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunMoon Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 We're about to find out from 7pm tonight on Radio 1... I'm wondering if we'll get a surprise Glastonbury set too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose-Colored Boy Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Seems they're giving Radio 1 the runaround.. now changed from 'about 7:30pm' to 'at some point within the next hour'.. don't know they'd afford themselves that kind of arrogant self-importance without Ben involved really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbailey80 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Here's the track, it's not Ben Howard singing, although sounds like he's on guitar...I was really hoping for a Ben fronted project. Shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunMoon Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 When I heard it (was a poor quality kitchen radio) I was convinced it was him singing. Either way it's definitely a Ben Howard influenced tune, no mistaking. I'm hoping this is just a guise for him to play new stuff without the pressure of being 'Ben Howard' and having to play tracks like wolves etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunMoon Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Worst thing about tonight was having to listen to radio 1 until they played it. Absolute drivel they spout on there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gucci Piggy Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Could see this getting a secret Park set. Not sure why but a secret set just feels right to me. Weird gut feeling I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
