B>E>A>K from Sunderland though...http://www.myspace.com/beaktastic

is the correct answer

I'll be in the middle of europe somewhere when this is on, as it looks fantastic :(

More so than 'Home' but maybe not as much as the first one, but he's definitely at his best when working within a more classical framework I feel ie piano and strings. Another fine release from Erased Tapes anyway!

is the answer :)

DiS has put on yet, and that's no mean feat to achieve.

I couldn't see completey this time due to a big fat man in front of me but in Leeds they used a sampler on top of a guitar amp and it looked the same this time...

And yeah agree to disagree! As I said I hadn't seen the previous live show, so maybe I would share your opinion if I had, but on the basis of this show I was more than happy.

I have to disagree whole heartedly. I admittedly never saw her with the other band, but there were so many organic elements - the keys player was surrounded by just as many strange acoustic keyboards as synthesisers and only twice were there backing samples used for his parts - one of the viola line and one of the harpsichord. Everything else, he was playing live and incredibly skillfully, switching between instruments.
The drummer triggered her own samples during every song, and only in Glass did Charlotte refrain from playing the chords for the first verse where the samples did instead, which was a little strange. Personally, I think the new synthesised sound suits her but that may just be me.

SVIIB were fantastic as well, come to expect nothing less recently. And, on another "geeky" note, they use a sampler and have even said in an interview they don't want to use computers for live performance i'm pretty sure.

err no, the soft pack more like it...

there were 2 good songs, ones that actually kept me interested throughout. But after all the praise they get I was fairly disappointed.

really enjoyed the invisible, after having heard literally nothing about them before. TTT were again awesome, probably my favourite "new" band at the moment. CA were incredibly dull on the most part.

has been an "underground anthem" for 3 years at least since it was first recorded...

it was awesome, twtw were really great! I'm from the north east so it was like a little homecoming seeing everyone from different north east bands playing together, and the field music song as the encore made my day!

The blonde one in the forward russia t shirt (it's actually my girlfriends t shirt, she's the one in the red jacket)...wonder what we've won...

He deserves a lot more recognition than he gets most other places - so glad DiS are getting behind him now!

i'm seeing them tonight and i can't wait :D

play the guitar like that and sing at the same time in sheffield was awesome! they came across as a lot poppier live than on record i felt too which is in no way a bad thing. just a fantastic band all round, and they also did an encore in sheffield, good review by the way too!

are a spectacle to behold live!

:)

said they had real sound troubles at latitude so that could be the main reason? I've always thought them good but a little plain live

are awesome, so much potential from what i've seen.

watching them play early stuff at T in the Park, I realised they were actually rather good on their first two albums...everything since has been shit though of course.

Super Furry Animals :)

release some well cool stuff, i like all the records they've put out!

taken it off their myspace dates now, so i'm guessing they really aren't playing? I too almost bought a ticket for this, but now i'm glad i didn't.

Answer: A) The Past Is A Grotesque Animal

:)

Is this still getting released on cassette tape anyone know?

S'il vous plait
:)

who was their drummer for a few weeks then he got kicked out for not having "the right image".
He's not one of these guys who's suing them though.

to a certain degree they get paid royalties if they sign up with the right agencies and so on.
But also, you think all those tracks Jo Whiley etc play are chosen by the dj? They're told what to play by a producer, and the tracks from artists on the biggest labels with the most amount of cash to give to the station will be played more times.
It works the same in shops too, the music piped out is played a certain amount of times a day depending on how much the label has paid to have them on the playlist.

most people know that nearly every band pays a lot of money to get their songs played on radio stations or to appear on covers of magazines? They may not have paid 10k but their record label will have paid something at least for the nme cover...
