This weekend sees DiS hotfoot it to Wales for 2009's Green Man Festival and boy, we can't wait. Here's a Spotify Playlist celebrating some of the festival's finest, as well as a few words on some acts you might do well to take a punt upon and the festival itself...»
Spurred on by the repeat mantra ‘there’s no way things can go wrong a THIRD year in a row', DiS’s Charles Ubaghs and Andrzej Lukowski headed down Victoria Park way last Saturday to sample the delights of this year’s capital-based Field Day festival. And barring some rain, things didn’t go wrong: bar queues? Nuh-uh. Lines for the toilet? Seemed pretty non-existent (or at least from a gruff, manly perspective). There were a few other issues, mentioned below, but here be our highlights.»
DiS's Dom Gourlay and Andrzej Lukowski descended upon the first UK ATP of '09 like two gods of yore. Sleep probably being what the gods of yore would listen to had stoner metal been around in yore. But enough musings on divinity: here's our high and low p»
This weekend at Holland's Eurosonic, each national public service broadcaster in Europe will offer up a band that they think will do the business in 2009. There's 250 acts in all and 50,000 Dutch students going nuts in their university town. And DiS will be joining them!»
We stumbled across these great pictures floating around the system and thought it'd be a crying shame to waste them»
If there’s one thing DiS loves this time of year it’s festivals, and the Summer Sundae Weekender is among our favourites. Highlights, here»
The annual Summer Sundae weekender takes place at De Montfort Hall and Gardens, Leicester, on August 8-10. Here's the DiS preview»
As summer colours the sky blue, events at the Custard Factory complex paint Birmingham black. Another Supersonic festival lifts the spirits»
This weekend the Supersonic Festival takes over Birmingham’s Custard Factory for a sixth year. DiS - again a sponsor - previews the festival»
An impressive crop this month, as Flying Lotus and Wild Beasts tussle for supremacy on the DiS stereo, both just about distracting us from the kicking»
Yesterday we ran through our picks to break through at a low-ish level in 2008, to tickle the fancy of those with taste. Here, we’re upping the commercial ante: these acts are in with a shout of crossing over – brighter tomorrows, bolder ambitions, bigger budgets. Next-Steppers we are calling them»
With their last London date at The Roundhouse, Glasgow's Errors are gonna crash back to earth when they play our DiScover Christmas Party at the Notting Hill Arts Club. James and Greg call in for coffee and chin-wagging»
It's like a festival having been circumcised, serving a purpose but lacking in providing anything much in the way of true enjoyment. With reams of tickets going spare in tight pockets, curling like thin-cleaved skin we begin the joyless, 12-hour odyssey home to bed. No sleep on concrete, no sleep on trains, with little to rationalise the ache...»
Wow, just when we thought we had too much South By Southwest preview stuff up already, we’ve only gone and recorded a brand-new podcast for you. Smells of barbecue sauce, too...»
Part two of DiS’s SXSW preview – again focusing on a quartet of acts we reckon are well worth catching at the annual music biz booze-up – shifts its eyes and ears from the US of A to the UK and even further away from the Lone Star State. Well, with the exception of one of four, anyway...»
