excited by the lineup. and obviously there'll be the usual DiS DJing tomfoolery before and after el bands

But they sounded *very* different back then so are essentially a new band!

We do the hard work so you only have to click 'Play' ten times?

Come over on Wednesday, it should be a corker.

... is a co-headline with Banjo Or Freakout. Very excited. http://www.last.fm/event/1172175+DiScover+Sheffield

And they're playing at the DiS night in Sheffield on September 2nd with Banjo Or Freakout. Should be a good 'un! http://www.last.fm/event/1172175+DiScover+Sheffield

Really looking forward to the tour. Will be announcing local supports for each date sooooon.

But if you have any good ideas for the free nights, PM me. We did try in Birmingham, though, rest assured.

Nobody would play ball on the dates we had. We were and are totally up for it...

I write for (and read) DiS, remember. there's no chance. x

teh internetz is serious business these days. see you at Tramlines!

I LOVE their guitar sound in particular. The arrangements are lovely, too.

The new songs sounded great when they played them up at DiScover Sheffield last year, but on record they really are very special. This will be one of the albums of the year I think.

It's going to be amazing! Will you be around next Wednesday? Here We Go Magic should be awesome.

And you don't have to camp.

Glad you're on your toes ;)

And they're playing in Sheffield for DiS next Wednesday. Yip! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=88961684301

... are playing in Manchester for DiS next month, with Maps: http://www.last.fm/event/1100799

They are indeed The Good.

I think the Readers Questions spots at the end of interviews like this can work really well, depending on the subject of course. Good work readers!

Personally, I wasn't that impressed with Sonic Youth, and Dan Deacon annoyed the fuck out of me. As I understand it, there's a separate piece to come on Neil Young...

... are cool. More please. Tori Amos one was aces.

Come and see them in Sheffield next Wednesday, it's going to be ace: http://www.last.fm/event/1056772

... it was that much fun. WHAT A NIGHT.

Thanks everyone.

The new system is way better IMO.

A page with 50+ photos is unmanageable, not to mention a massive pain to code. Think about how great it'll be for festival coverage - lots of words, lots of pictures, all on one screen... e.g. the Primavera review :)

I'd like it if you could click the photo to advance to the next one, though, and if the numbers didn't sometimes spill onto multiple lines when you get into double figures.

It's Rollerpalooza tomorrow night! Sooooo excited.

I agree this was our best night yet, we all had such a good time!

We posted at the same time!

You signed up just so you could criticise the review. And then you fell out of your ivory tower by spelling 'Apparently' wrong. Apparently.

I had such high hopes for the record, but compared to the EP it's pretty average. A settled lineup might help. And I've still optimistic about LP - or EP - #2.

Maybe catch them in October when they support Bloc Party? That should be an *ace* tour, two very like-minded bands.

It's because PABH are doing Camden Crawl, which falls in the middle of the tour? Not sure, really.

But wasn't *quite* there for me. 8.5 easily, though.

A 9 is meant to be reserved for a really special album that transcends boundaries, blows minds and rewrites the rulebook. At least as far as I'm concerned. Not been so many of those this year.

My misteak. Amendead.

So no sooner did we post the above, DiS hears PABH guitarist James Brown (no, not THAT one) has been re-admitted to hospital due to a knee injury sustained during a recent tour of the Isle Of Man.

The band have thus cancelled tonight's performance in Leicester - but Rolo Tomassi and Grammatics will still play the date. They're expected to rejoin the tour in Sheffield tomorrow...

Get well soon, James.

There was absolutely, definitely a laptop in use during their set - not that it's a criticism at all.

Bat For Lashes, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Sounds like you were pretty close to the front to have seen exactly what Mr Christophers was up to...

Don't think they did, no.

More information about that can be found here: http://www.last.fm/event/965211

In short: May 16th = a date for the diary.

Just because they have them doesn't mean they should be using them as often as possible, and putting out stuff that basically adds nothing to what fans already own. That's my argument. Good to have some debate going though.

I don't think the band have officially commented on these particular reissues yet. But you can't imagine they'd be too keen on them. There was certainly no chance of us getting any time with them to support these features...

But you can kind of understand why they'd feel annoyed about all this happening without their approval/involvement - like, there could have been a whole treasure trove of REAL rarities and unseen footage that they have access to which could have been contributed towards a better, more attractive package.
