They were so disappointing. Bar moving on up. I really enjoyed it personally, but I’m a pretty massive Primal Scream fan and was great to see them do a greatest hits set.

It's not really a Sufjan album. Moby must still be right in the frame. He needs to try and rebuild his reputation and the UK might make more sense to start than the US.

VanderlyleTea Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 I hope there is an announcement on Monday. Kooks/Wombats goes on general sale tomorrow so I can see them getting their next one out soon. I’m getting a Tame ticket as soon as I’m paid and hoping that the Friday will have something worth buying as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlierc Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Quotes in an NME interview seem to back this up: “We’re getting all of our festivals sorted out. Depending on how many we do, we may tour in September. We might have a quiet-ish summer then come back with our own tour – maybe early next year. We’re really keen to play all of this record. That’s how you know you’re fucking buzzing when you’re genuinely fucking salivating at figuring out how to figure these songs out. We’re excited to get out there but it will be a wee while. We’re doing some cool stuff around Europe.” More hither: https://www.nme.com/music-interviews/exclusive-biffy-clyro-return-with-infinite-history-i-feel-a-responsibility-to-the-world-now-especially-as-a-white-male-2612425 I'm not so sure on the new song - has nice verses but a bit of a bland chorus. Most of the stuff from Ellipsis sounded better live tbf. Edited February 20, 2020 by charlierc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangepaterson Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 You would imagine Biffy will be the Friday headliner with them playing Radio 1 Big Weekend the weekend of the 22/23/24 May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only 5 minutes in, but the interesting thing about it to me is that it's like how they were live when I saw them in 2001 - with stuff like Bob Dylan and Madonna included. You can download the mp3 from their site, here:-http://www.theavalanches.com/mixes.html Neil, I always here you say how great and innovative they were live back in the 00s with a full lineup. What did they do back then compared to now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, there was a full live element too (drums, bass, guitar, keys*) along with 2 DJs - tho I'm not really sure what the live element was adding if I'm honest. However, I saw a true DJ set from just the 2 DJs a week later and it was very different and nowhere near as good. (* It was nearly 20 years ago now, so it's hard to remember. I'm fairly sure there were all those instruments, but there might have only been 3 people doing them [plus 2 on the decks], so perhaps not all those instruments at once. The personnel swapped instruments/decks at points). For me most of the innovation came from what they were mixing in - Bob Dylan & Madonna are the two that stick in my mind. But the whole thing was just stunning, jaw-dropping. It was fresh and different at the time (might be thought old hat today). Very different to what they were at Glastonbury a few years back, which was a nowadays fairly standard geezers-twiddling-knobs/spinning-discs with shouty-MCs out front.

eFestivals Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) PS: the reason I saw the DJ set a week later is because during that week at a show one of the band got kicked off stage by someone else and broke his arm or leg or something (so they couldn't play live) - so I guess there were also on-stage antics that added to what I saw, but I'm not remembering anything apart from them swapping instruments.

I can vouch for your memories... I saw them at V 2001, and there was a very big live band, playing all sorts of instruments. Still to this day one of the best live shows I've ever seen, especially as at the time it was so innovative (2ManyDJs hadn't broken through to the mainstream yet).
