I'm off to benicassim next week and wanted some recommendations. I meant to spend the weeks running up to the festival looking into loads of bands that i've never listened to before, but haven't for various reasons.
I already want to see MBV, Justice, Leonard Cohen, Morrissey, Black Lips and Spiritualized etc...
Who else would you recommend and why?
cheers
From what I remember of the line up:
Battles
Sigur Ros
Erol Alkan
Hot Chip
Tricky
Death Cab
The National
Im sure there was some more. but definitely see these.
You been before?
After a quick look:
El Guincho (saw him at Sonar and was fantastic, home crowd advantage too)
Hot Chip
Battles
The National
Yelle (French Electro/Pop, puts on a great show)
My Morning Jacket?
haven't listened but the came highly recommended...
i can't wait for this lot
Sigur Ros
Battles
These New Puritans
Hot Chip
Metronomy
Gnarls Barkley will put on a good show
My Morning Jacket and
The National are must-sees
Brian Jonestown Massacre
Booka Shade
Richard Hawley
Yelle
...
cheers, i already had BJM, battles, richard hawley and sigor ros bookmarked but was too lazy to write them down, i'll check out the others.
I saw Hot Chip at ATP and they bored me a little and Tricky dissapointed a few years ago but apparently he's 'returned to form' so i'll check him out again.
