Friday...?

[Neil]

Current rumour is the Kaisers - they've defo been asked.

Those failed pigeon detectives have just announced a tour, with a Friday-sized gap. So they're on the bill too.

Why 'failed'? Well, they've yet to detect that mostly they're crap and unless the audience has been told to like them by the teen-scene bible they fail to impress even a little.

The Pigeon Detectives are a great band and if you managed to ever listen to them rather than revolt against what you see in the NME you might be better informed...

I listen to every band I see. I say what I see, whether or not some trend is saying the same or different to what I think.

I listened and watched along with 5,000 others - there were about 50 people interested in them. Everyone else was bored by them, the band noticed and started slagging off the audience (which later had the band arguing).

To be fair to them, they improved by the end of their set, and had got maybe 40% of the crowd's attention by then. But they are definitely NTG.

Those 50 people? All aged under 20. The band could have farted and they'd have applauded.

I saw the Pigeons recently....and though I agree the crowd were mostly young, it was a vibrant, high tempo lively gig. Very good I thought!

Fingers crossed for KC

I've got the offer of a free ticket to see the Kaisers on Thursday and I can barely be bothered going 10 miles to see them, let alone to see them at the IOW. If they win me over I may change my mind though.

[Lauz_Abbott]

you'll enjoy them chris!!!!!

[chownsy]

Big night tomoz Lauz....are ya ready? Learnt all the lyrics etc..............dance moves?!

[Lauz_Abbott]

[chownsy]

Kaiser's were crap in Manc at the weekend. They've play everywhere over the past few years and tour non stop so hardly a coup for the organisers to get them as headliners IMO.

[Hammer]

I've managed to avoid the Kaiser Chiefs up until this point, so dont really mind if they do take the top slot on the Friday. Give me a few beers and I'll 'woooah' along with everyone else as required.

Could be a lot worse. So I'm happy.

[melmite]

I did like Kaisers when they appeared on the mainstream scene(and still do). It was refreshing to not have crappy R'n'B on my local radio station 24/7. But now they're a bit samey. I would be interested in seeing them coupled with the IOW fest atmosphere, they have songs most people know and can sing along too.

[Andrew_iow]

I wouldnt mind seeing the Chiefs, would suite me down to the ground.

[russellelly]

Bah. Could be worse, but I'm no overjoyed about them. Will be happier to see Basement Jaxx and possibly Pigeon Detectives though.

[pc18568]

Glad there's not some dance crap headlining.

[pugsleyroberts]

Not too dissapointed with the KC, could have been much worse, could have got snow patrol back. Just hope we have some sort of dancy act as thats wha firday at iow is about if you ask me, hoping for Basement Jaxx.

Was that at Summer Sundae this year? cus thats what I saw they were average at best and way up their own arse

it was, yup.

[indieheart]

Kaiser Chiefs - yeah, very lively and some great singalong tunes. pigeon detectives, mmm, well, I can't think of any of there songs so obviously not a very memorable band in my musical memory bank. Basement Jaxx - think I've seen them at IOW before? Seen them a few times and never disappointing and I do think of the Friday as dance night.

All in all I'm happy with the way the bill is shaping up
