Better start getting ready now - Glastonbury is next month! -
We use a version of this fishing trolley- folds down easy but has proper tyres. Only time we had to leave it in car was 2016 as mud was just too deep for a trolley. We usually take essentials first on trolley and leave spare or non essentials in car for 2nd run later or Thursday especially if very muddy. Not sure how it’s fared in the rat infested shed over the winter- will need to give it a hose down, oil up and check they haven’t eaten the tyres! 🙄 -
Lemon twigs playing Cardiff on the Friday, so will be on the Sat or Sunday -
Late to the discussion about why did so many Britpop acts, post Britpop acts and early indie revival acts die off, but I think it is really interesting. When you look at some of the people you talked about who headlined or had prominent positions in the 2000's, but then never returned - Razorlight, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand - I think I have the answers. Razorlight imploded not long after their 2007 headline set, pretty much stopped touring a couple of years later when their drummer who wrote their hits left and then didn't release an album in 10 years. They have only properly started touring recently since they have their OG line-up back together. Bloc Party wrote a straight up banger first album and a great second album, but then decided that they wanted to do experimental stuff that I'd say doesn't work as well with R+L indie crowd compared to others they could book. To be fair they did 5 of 6 years between 2004 and 2009. During that time they headlined radio 1, were third down main and sub-headlined twice for The Killers and Radiohead. Franz Ferdinand I think are the interesting one, but I never really liked them so have never though about them, but my inclination is that they were never an 'indie' band that anyone I knew was ever invested in and wanted to see live. They felt to me like they clicked more with they younger teachers while I was in secondary school than with the people who liked indie a bit like someone such as The Coral or Elbow. Britpop was just before me, so can't really comment on it, but I think the fact that the biggest three are all still bigish with younger people shows how well Oasis, Blur and Pulp still hold up.
