They couldn’t be more MOR if they tried but they are very good songwriters and from what I hear, lovely blokes to boot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So was I to be fair, they had their 2nd (or 3rd?) album take off and then they put in a monster Glastonbury show on one of the smaller stages, it was that good I thought they'd get a shot at headlining the other stage, they pretty much stole the festival in 2019 Keep an eye out for fontaines DC too, they're there this weekend at some point, I always put them side by side with idles but I think the fontaines new album is better One of my mates has already tried to turn me onto them after he saw them at the Isle of Wight festival wasn’t really that impressed tbh , but maybe in about 5 years I’ll suddenly discover them Edited June 24, 2022 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted June 24, 2022 Moderator Share Posted June 24, 2022 Don't get the clamour for Idles, great at getting the crowd going but a few songs aside, not for me From the bits I’ve seen so far St Vincent is the best but I guess that’s because I really like the Daddy's Home album but even then I'm not sure it comes across that well live First Aid Kit were alright Seen one Wet Leg song which was good but not watched the set yet and that’s where I’m up to with Glastonbury so far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted June 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2022 Caught bits and pieces so far. Tried to listen out for stuff I’m less familiar with. Idles were certainly lively. Not sure if I’d sit down and listen to them. Entertaining enough. Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, not massively familiar with their stuff, but I enjoyed it. I couldn’t name a single Billie Eilish song (maybe if her Bond song is the same as the film title). I have to say, watching her now, I do get it. Quietly impressed, I may investigate further.

choffer Posted June 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2022 OK, I’m gonna say it, and I realise that VT is not her target demographic but Billie Eilish is a proper talent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted June 24, 2022 Moderator Share Posted June 24, 2022 Dry Cleaning, great but the vocals could have been higher up in the mix. Not sure the crowd know what to think of them though, they aren't really a festival type of band 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted June 25, 2022 Moderator Share Posted June 25, 2022 Just watched the Kruangbin set and thought it was great. A lot more psychedelic than I expected it to be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Googled them on yahoo , already knowing that they were likely to be shit if you were endorsing them Not for me , just sounded like the knight rider theme tune on repeat ( song I heard was for a live show in Glasgow , dunno what it’s called ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 Khruangbin, to spell it correctly for the first time on this illiterate hell hole of a thread, are great. They played the 6 Music Festival recently and were just phenomenal. I’ve seen Idles perform at an in store gig at Spillers Records. I thought they were fantastic, though interestingly not so fantastic that it persuaded me to buy the record I was supposed to have already have bought to get the ticket in the first place! I couldn’t go to a festival gig and be a kilometre back from the stage, or even to be honest, 20 or 30 metres back from the stage. That just leaves me cold I’d rather sit on the sofa and watch it on YouTube. But up close, 50 people in a room. You just can’t beat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say, Carwyn Ellis, Snapped Ankles and Ffrancon is a storming line up. Also quite like the idea of ‘peripheral activities’. Although I was briefly in a band call ‘alternative vegetables’ so it could just be a support band.
