dingbat2 Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Tried to bump my thread from 2013 bit is been archived, so I will start a new one... I am not trying to undermine Ben's thread re electonica/dance music, but I need some more help chaps, I love live electronic music, anything with synthesizers and I am a happy man. The sort of bands I love are Kraftwerk, Goldfrapp, Gary Numan, M83, Holy Fuck, Air, Mirrors, Ulrich Schnauss, Sigur Ros (less synths but I still love them) Can anyone recommend any live ‘synth’ bands from the line up so far. Although I like dance music, I am looking for synth music specifically, so any ideas? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Pale Waves? Not necessarily synth-driven but there's an 80s pop vibe about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you’re a Sigur Ròs fan (I am) then check out Eyre Llew. They’re opening JPT on Sunday and closing Scum on Monday morning at 0400h. They’re soundscapey post-rock with more than a nod to SR and are terrific. Their album Atelo is a smashing thing. I’ll have a look in my schedule for anything else that might fit your bill.

I was really hoping TVAM would be on the lineup, but sadly he's not (he's doing BlueDot and End of the Road though). Worth a listen if you're into synth stuff. Saw Gary Numan at Bluedot last year and he was fantastic. It really feels like Glastonbury have missed out on some really good acts this year.

dingbat2 Posted June 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Thanks Ben, I do like soundscapey type stuff. And psychedelic stuff. Looking forward to Josefin Ohrn and the Liberation at the Glade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyhana22 Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 For more synthy, try The Dreadnought Hoax by Tommy Tiger who is playing in the Rabbit Hole at 4pm on Saturday. He’s one of my best new finds. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoo Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) Maybe Fat White Family? They're rock, but synthy with it. Edited June 12, 2019 by Skoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is lovely stuff I KNOW! I'm torn, as intuitively I feel like I'll want to be dancing until Emily pulls the plug out, but I can see myself getting to 4am and thinking that I've had a good run, so I'll head to Scum and let some massive, blissful walls of guitar smash into my face to finish my festival.

Mattymooz Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 No idea how bandy the live setups of any of these guys are but skimming through my playlist these are the most synthy acts I have found that I reckon fit what you want: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
