Truck Gets Even Better!!!

by Colin Weston [Edit this content] ▾ 0 comments 16:49 June 24th, 2005

OK, bad news is it is still sold out for this year (sorry!) but good news is that those of us who have tickets now have even more bands to see. Good stuff! So just who has been lined up? Look below:

Clor
Engerica
Juliet (Virgin)
Reuben
Stoney
The Brakes
Winnebago Deal

So what do the festival guys have to say about it?

'We're pleased to add a whole bunch of new bands to the line-up for Truck 8. Some of them we've been chasing for quite some time! Particular mention should go to Juliet who we think is the new Shirley Manson. Her Jaques Lu Cont-produced album is ace, and she'll add another facet to an already varied bill. Good mates of Truck and all round Brighton supergroup The Brakes are back for more of the same mischief, as are the brothers Bengo - Winnebago Deal - fresh from doing a whole host of dates backing that scary-looking chap with the beard from Queens Of The Stone Age.

So there you have it. What is the DiS view on this new twist? BRING IT ON!!!

Sweeeet. I'm dragging a bunch of Truck-virgin friends to this one, so I'm feeling kinda responsible for them having a good time :)
Here's hoping it's as good as last year.

Nah, Winnebago are in the barn Sunday afternoon - it's being headlined by Capdown (Saturday) and SikTh (Sunday).
Full line-up with times and stuff is on the website, there's still a couple of bands TBC as well...
