Synthesizer/live electronic band help needed please!

[Kizzie]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned 'The Egg'  Bloody love The Egg me, lost count of the times I've seen them.  They usually play at least a couple of times over the weekend, usually once in the Glade. 

[uscore]

Low Island, Free Love, Friendly Fires, Haelos, and Hot Chip are all high on my list.  Will listen to the others recommended in this thread too.

I also want to see Bicep but are they moving from "band with a Synthesizer" into "dance band" territory?

They're most accurately thought of as an electronic dance act who DJ and also play live.

I don't think they've ever really attracted the description of a 'band'.

And given that they'll be DJing only at Glastonbury (as far as we understand), I don't think they fit into the brief of this thread, as entertaining as they can be.

yes, not fitting into brief of this thread is entirely what I meant.

I guess they are similar to Four Tet in a way, in that it's electronic "acts", if you will, who aren't doing their full thing.

 

I don't think Ross From Friends fits either?

Great help as always everybody, thanks a lot. Any more for any more before I finalise my Clashfinder..!?

Thanks all, you're all legends

 

See you on the dark side...

Just heard about a new film sisters with transistors and this thread seemed like a good place to post about it.

Going to bump this again if you dont mind, looking for any electronic music in the line up this year, especially synth bands, or other electronic music with live instruments, psychedelic stuff, soundscapes, reverb type stuff. Haven't had much of a chance to look this year but will do over the few days,so any help in advance appreciated! Some I have noticed so far are WH Lung, Jane Weaver, the Egg (obviously!), Floating Points (although I assume he won't have a band with him at that time of night), St Vincent....

[dingbat2]

shameless bump !

[PassingCloud]

not sure if these fall into what you’re looking for:

Noon Garden

System 7 

Metronomy

Ishmael Ensemble

To add to the above:

Hercules and Love Affair

Confidence Man (highly recommended)

The Avalanches

The Egg

Bonobo

Pet Shop Boys

 

And for DJs there's Hot Chip, 2 Bears, Calvin Harris

Thanks all, there is some great stuff there but I still haven't stopped looking for any more! Also like Jane Weaver but not sure how good she is live? Penelope Isles I think will also sound ace in WG as well as WH Lung (last two not particularly electronically though)

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!

It was you who recommended them though wasn't it? I think they are are a great live band and it would be ace given a better slot at a festival, there's nothing not to like, electoronic music, DJing, live guiter, live drums, etc.... exactly the sort of thing i am looking for! I see they were at Boomtown recently

I'd recommend Metronomy on the other stage and then Glass Animals (bit more poppy) after them.

Confidence Man will also be a great show.

 

[guypjfreak]

Gaudi has just posted this;

The official rehearsal for our Glastonbury gigs is finished and went down very well, we are now ready for some stage actions! This year I'm not playing my usual solo gig, instead, we are presenting this new project called Chant Live, consisting of an ensemble of 6 musicians playing live dub-electronica, sampling the audience in real time and integrate it into our songs, the crowd interact with us fully, live, helping the composition of the tracks on-the-fly! I'll be playing my theremin, minimoog and live dub manipulation actions while Don Letts will be sampling the audience and send the source straight to Dan Harper and his loop machine, while Dan Morrell manoeuvres the stems and Nanopunk glitches them, Ned Scott of The Egg will then create atmospheric soundscapes with his synthesizers! Complex stuff to coordinate but highly satisfying me tell ya! We will perform 3 shows:
Sat 25/06 h4pm on the legendary Greenpeace Stage, 
Sun 26/06 h10pm @ The Rabbit Hole (Funkingham Palace),
Sun 26/06 h11pm @ the Crew Bar! 
💚🤟❤️
