This years Leeds/Reading lineup is as last years lineup also was; immense.
It went from being quite dull and unimpressive when the lineup first was announced in March, but after adding a douzin of good bands a month ago,I completely changed my mind about selling the ticket.
Some of my biggest highlights this year are.....:
Pop princess La Roux. It seems to me like people either love her or hate her. Her album isnt brilliant, but her biggest hits "In for the Kill", Bulletproof" and "Quicksand" is catchy pop at its best. ugh,this sounded like a shitty record-review...anywho,next up is......
Prodigy! They terrified me with their dark and neurotical music videoes when I grew up in the 90s.I watched with disbelief, and hadnt seen anything more eccentric in my entire life. But I absolutely adore them now. Old fashioned screamy rave, nothing less nothing more.
Bloc Party. Pure quality. When I see my favourite bands live I always get into this ephoric state of happiness, where I dance and jump like a blissful teenager on crack.combine this with loud irritating singing/screaming, and you have me in a nutshell on a gig.
Metronomy.A delightful combo of synth-pop and high pitched voices.
The Horrors.Retro "dark" rock.Most famous for their anorectic legs,black clothing and obscure hair does. Some of their songs needs to grow on me though.
Golden Silvers
Friendly Fires
...and I need to see KOL,mainly because of their brilliant song "Charmer"(anything but "sex on fire"), and partly because they're so fucking talked-about that I am obliged to get a tiny glimpse of them American boyzzzz even though I'm not a massive fan.
