did duckworth steal your lady or somethin' diver?
bbbbitchy to the maximus.

slipped in by sparro. hats off.

were amazing. sam sparro was amazing. sam isaac was amazing. did anyone else called sam play? they were probably amazing.

amazing. love the early pre-instrumental noodling material.

yes please.

is the lovechild of a virgin a+r scamp and a sony a+r chap. how romantic!

really fun last night. lots of nice people hanging about on a cold night in hackney looking forward to the summer! :)
i think also, in ref to the 'loads of bands playing you'd neve rheard of' thing- maybe consider the fact that a few years ago (or even when truck first started), it was pretty easy to have not heard of bands due to lack of blogs/media, you know? the whole trail of finding-out-about-bands now is so different... everyone's so hungry for new stuff and to hear new things, and it's so easy to do that now- its virtually impossible to have not heard of a half decent band, at least in passing... no?

One of them made it to the launch last night, so i'd say that bodes well for them turning up to the ACTUAL festival :)

Fanfarlo
MGMT
Sam Sparro
Let's Wrestle
Sleeping States

fact.

then i dont have to worry so much about not going ;)

subwoofer. YOU verge on sickly.

I imagine no london show because of supporting kaiser chiefs in london :(

he was amazing at Durrr a few weeks ago. amazing. amazing. amazing.

yes.

that doesnt look so good if we're a band turning up in a splitter eh?! splitters and mud aint a good combo.
bolloxing bollocks.

there are only 2 who've earnt my loyalty and respect over many moons:

>> 4AD
>> Bella Union

the ones who consistently impress me and would investigate new releases having never heard music:

>> Kanine Records
(most highly underrated/best kept secret US indie label- they are responsible for bringing Grizzly Bear to the attention of more than 5 people in brooklyn, releasing their 1st album- plus put together their remix album with (then) relative unknowns like Final Fantasy... they also released first few Oxford Collapse albums - who are fantastic and now have a home on Subpop).
>> white heat
>> arts and crafts
>> tomlab
>> wichita (go team bowen!)

this album.

metronomy, glenn tilbrook, blood red shoes, fanfarlo, sam isaac, the 'wild... ace stuff.
ps- the trailer park stage is a bit wrong. the 'farlo defo play saturday.

2.45 @ trent main room. huzzahhh!!!

this is really stupidly old and why is it still relevant?! fairly good band but... seems like a poorly informed idea.

they're great but.... exceptional?? are you sure?! highly highly overrated and mentioned almost by default by too many publications.

and they raised 60,000 last year for charidee (look it said so above!), i'd hardly call that ridiculous?! i say go truck. x

czech this shiz out:

best parody of a terrible song by kate nash ever.

yeah Bowie loves a bit of the 'farlo!: http://www.playlouder.com/news/+fanfarlos-fan-fr/
and stuff in NY in July: check out the line up (when it's announced) for Seaport music festival- brilliant free gigs in NYC in great outdoor locations... check www.ohmyrockness.com too.

and i agree - out of the angeles is a brilliant album. doesn't really feel like v2 are pulling their weight with this band though...? x

someone's got their knickers in a twist macdonald! hehe. it's a great song. good shoes are an ace in the face live band. deal with it.

...really amazing. mr diver, a very succinct and accurate portrait you paint for those unfamiliar with the beast that is the noisettes.

...would thus save him from making anymore shockers like the last album! earlier graham solo material = ace in the face! you know why? he was still in blur... or having blur-related traumas in his mind at least. post-blur solo stuff = boring. blur need him and he needs blur.

your fair reviewer appears to have mistankingly put a '1' in front of the '0' in their marking of the long blondes.
jeeeeeezzz DiS get it together...
