These New Puritans

Quite disappointing live...



  • where did you see them?

    2GTrees? I've always enjoyed them more live than on record but that may just be me.

    • yep

      elvis was good, but i just found they didn't get involved at all and it all seemed a bit dodgy.

      your favourite band of the weekend?

      • not sure really.

        enjoyed more on Friday i think, Old School Tie's jam set due to lack of power. Ghost Of A Thousand playing to about 25 people whilst flooding the stage and getting covered in mud and Johnny Foreigner were good, gutted I missed Tubelord.

        • tubelord

          were excellent and joseph was really nice afterwards. yeah johnny f were pretty great, the little joke in the end was funny. the djs were brilliant too. wahey! any clue on whether there's one on next year?

          • i hope so

            things seemed to run fairly smoothly bar the lack of time that seems to happen at most smaller fests'

            • true

              i felt this was the first time i would have gladly spent a few weeks at a festival.

              • add Truck to that list

                and i think i'll be adding Benicassim to that list next week.
                Reuben pullig out though *sigh*

          • there will almost definitely

            be one next year. it's sold out two years in a row now. did some work there and had a great time. tubelord really were ace, as was little lost david in the lounge tent on saturday night.

  • they're good live

    • They're a classic example of a dry band...

      ...who say that they're influenced by things like dubstep, grime, architecture, misery, acid-house and Proust, but basically sound like a generic post-punk band whose actual influences clearly don't extend far beyond The Rapture and Joy Division.

      Please also see Foals for more evidence of this.

  • seen 'em 5 times now

    Kind of hit and miss.
    But last time I saw them at Digital during Great Escape they were unbelievable, the atmosphere they created in the place was unreal.

    Although they're my favourite band so i'm slightly bias.......

    • fair game

      they seem to suit small venues more than a massive field...

  • Saw them once

    Didn't really do anything for me.
    I don't like the album much either.
