After a year off due to a lack of funding, Derby's first and only free and independent music festival is set to return at the end of this month. Ponce In The Park 2005 will be making it's third appearance over the weekend of 29-31 July at the Bass Recreation Ground in Derby city centre.

This year, the organisers Jodie Craven and Laura Fletcher promise "to give you even more than before", so along side the 35 bands who've already confirmed across the three days they are integrating two of Derby’s premier underground Hip Hop and Dance nights, Home Grown and Milky, making sure they appeal to all music tastes.

Along side the music there will also be independent stalls, films, dancers and performers, skate ramps, fire eaters, camping, tramps and freaks. And most importantly, it's all for free!

Already confirmed to appear are (in no particular order):
Hooker, The Little Explorer, Plans and Apologies, Part Chimp, The Swarm, Ivory Springer, Big Joan, Charlottefield, Fixit Kid, Cove, Twinkie, Dead by Dawn, The Wow, Tigers, Cowtown, The Black Alison, That Fucking Tank, Spin Spin the Dog, Itch, The Dustcollectors, Lardpony, Beyond this point are Monsters, Throw Stephanie in the Incinerator, YouNoGoDie, Clambake, Bigfoot Memorial Ride, Ikaruga, Imanemic, Light Seeks Light, and Felusia:end.

Why aren't Komakino playing, seeing as it's their manor. I'm expecting someone here to know.

Re: Poncing around in Derby

Re: Poncing around in Derby

The Little Explorer! yes yes yes, shame i dont live in derby, no no no!

Poncing around in Derby

the wow are ace.

i'm not sure, but i think komakino are keen to distance themselves from derby.

if you've never heard of any of the bands then i recommend Plans and Apologies, Twinkie, Lardpony, Ima Nemic and YouNoGoDie in particular.

just wish we were playing too :(

Re: Poncing around in Derby

hahaha i interviewed them this morning and they were singing its praises. i think they're just keen to stop people clinging on to the fact that they're one of the only good thing to come out of derby in ages and overlooking their music.

Part Chimp, The Little Explorer and Tigers! are wicked - the line up is amazing this year.

Plans and Apologies are very good indeed

Re: Poncing around in Derby

Re: Poncing around in Derby

Hooker are amazing. Watch them and throw roses in their direction

Re: Poncing around in Derby

Hooker are very good indead

Re: Poncing around in Derby

That Fucking Tank, Cove, Charlottefield, Ivory Springer, Part Chimp are all great as well.

Don't forget The Swarm! Possibly the best thing to leave Derby since the A52.

EvilTwin say:

"We like Twinkie. We like Terrashima. We will watch The Swarm with interest."

sorry ryan, i guess i got the wrong end of the stick from yr sandman interview. i wasn't really saying you didn't like derby, just that you were keen not to be a big fish in a small pond.

cheerfully withdrawn.

Re: Poncing around in Derby

Was gonna say, the Kino chaps always seem to be in The Bless. More local giggage warning tho, please!

Why is it when something remotely interesting happens in Derby, I'm at the other end of the land? Hope it's a huge success tho'.

Re: Poncing around in Derby

...aaaand i was also pissed off to discover my shirky little dancing had been cut from their new video.

gutted x

i'm glad komakino aren't playing because most people I know don't even like their music. well, they're not very good are they beneath all that posing and GHD arrogance, bleh. ponce is about music. thank god for that.
