it's all about Glasto..

I'm sorry if you didn't get a Glastonbury ticket and you've resorted in attending the famous shamble on V Festival but hey .. at least it's a music festival (just about). Me on the other hand will be there, yes I am a Glastonbury virgin.

Don't get me wrong I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed with the main stage headliners, but you'd struggle to find a soul that isn't disappointed. Never been a fan of U2 personally not ever since Bono dug his nose into politics. Muse are sellouts in my opinion, Matt Bellamy has lost the plot in my books. Stevie Wonder.. well I guess there is much to say really, everyone appreciates him, but liking his music is a tad different.

Other than some of musicians attending are unreal, heres some of bands I MUST see.

The Dead Weather
Broken Social Scene
The National
Two Door Cinema Club
Ray Davies
Faithless
The Flaming Lips
Foals
Gang of Four
Grizzly Bear
Temper Trap
LCD Soundsystem
We Are Scientists
Tubelord
Frightened Rabbit
The Mystery Jets
The Magic Numbers
Levellers
Phoenix

Yes, just yes.

Half of them are bands I've never seen before, mainly because I usually go to Leeds/Reading. Not this year! I'm sure after my first visit it all begins.

Everyone should have this..

Tubelord - Our first American Friends




Yes maybe I am a tad behind with posting this, but I just can't get over how good it is. Everything about their songs inspires you (well me) to wanna play music. "Pop songs for rock kids" yeah that's about right in my case. Awkward time signatures combined with jittery fun pop choruses is everything I enjoy about the Kingston trio. Supreme with their harmonies the guitar work is no slouch: trebly clean indie riffs played with an edged sensation satisfied my ears.

I don't think theres been an underground band in the UK that has caught my eye as much as these guys. Yeah the singer does combine the looks of Rivers Cuomo and Draco Malfoy, so what! That's cool to me and he doesn't exactly try to hide it.

This band are going to be round for a long time, a consistent album of Pop/Rock soon to be classics.
