Durty auld Morris drums... they're fu*kin' great!!

harVee

That's pretty weak imo.
The Avalanches album was great but as the whole thing was made of samples I can't see them doing much live...
However,
Tindersticks are one of the top 5 bands on the planet...

Sliotar

starsailor look as tho they could turn out to be good. i've only heard the 1 song they've released, good souls, or sumtin, sounded kinda familiar but thought it was great all the same.

Dustaz

is it just me or is that pretty weak like harvee said?
None of those bands are really very big compared to the lineups of even the feiles of yore.

I thought so too. Bah!

That's a sh¡t line-up. Only decent band there is the Frames. And I bloody despise Stereophonics.

Ah well, I'll just have to get meself VIP tickets and drink enough free Guinness to make them bearable

Worth going to only for The Frames and Tindersticks.

I don't know how well Tindersticks will go down at an open air thingy either. The audience probably won't be into them and they'll probably be on at three in the afternoon.

They should really be seen in somewhere like the Olympia or that.
