andy burrows from razorlight
ryan jarman form the cribs was a nice chap
and the singer from good shoes

:D

Seymour Glass from Miss Black America
Patrick Wolf seemed friendlier than I expected.

they wouldent let me in to a gig a while back, so the band offered me dvds and t shirts.
I politely declined, as i knew the show was 18+ anyway, so it was kinda my fault.

Stuart Braithwaite

Both very charming. Must be something in the water up there.

All of British Sea Power are nice
Planningtorock is a lovely woman
Joe Germlin & Lach of Gay Against You, bless them both
Max Tundra is a dude
Pete Doherty was witty and charming
Bearsuit are all lovely

chris from belle and sebastian, who was quiet but friendly;

(briefly) natasha (?) from bat for lashes - we complimented her and she was very smily.

on Saturday. He was very nice.

The bassist of The Seeds current lineup- Rick

Joe Birch from HIFH and Symposium was a great guy too.

Talked to me whilst eating a banana and telling me how he was trying to eat 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day on tour. A lovely contrast to Dominic Masters.

Utrillo from Comets on Fire. He remembered my name and invited my friends and I to this after show party.

Gruff Rhys was very sweet and smily and could obviously tell i was very nervous. i try not to get starstruck, which admittedly rarely works, but it helped that we were in an inflatable church and hence had something to talk about. The rest of the band were either DJing or seemed very stoned.

Most musicians I've met have turned out to be nice friendly people. The only arsehole I've ever met was Kelly Jones, but I didn't really want to meet him anyway, I was chatting with someone else and he was there.

More MBA.

What a lovely chap...

Also, Jamie Lenman (Reuben) was a pleasant chap.
Seymour (MBA) was similarly nice.
The guys from Editors were also lovely.

Those were the prominent ones, anyway...

given I tend to clam up and talk shite at people in bands, even when sober and knowing in the back of my mind that I'm probably more famous than at the time.

That said, words of favour must go to Carey Camera Obscura, Gwenno Pipette, Max Goodbooks and the boy JWo.

Tom hung out at our tent at Truck last year for a while with Bentley their guitar tech. Tom was nice. Bentley was quite drunk so I guess I can forgive him being annoying.

Anthony Green (and Colin) from Circa Survive wins hands down though. That was one of the best nights of my life

been a treat to talk to. Not just nice, but very open and willing to have a proper chat about music.

which was good 'cos I was star-stuck and gibbering like a twat.

I like Thomas Truax immensely - he seems quite a quiet shy chap but the first time I met him he started a random conversation about absolutely nothing when we were stood at adjacent urinals. I like people who do that kind of thing.

However the nicest is certainly Ian, the guitarist from Death in Vegas, who is probably the most ridiculously nice person I've ever encountered (although Terry the keyboardist from DiV isn't far off)

you've met duke special, theo fact_fan? i'm going to see him at ULU on wednesday.

nima and alex from hush the many are both really cool people,
jeremy warmsley and emmy the great are top banana,
rose kemp i liked when i met her,
neil hannon i had a nice conversation about birthdays with,
max goodbooks had good things to say about my poetry which was nice,
tim ten yen is a lovely, lovely man,
the singer from neatpeople i liked,
anton barbeau is an unassuming sort,
jack penate was nice,
and scroobius pip is a legend.

didn't particularly take too kindly to jamie t.

Charles and Kevin from The Wrens were both really friendly, Goodbooks were all good blokes, Emmy the Great's sweet, Hutch and Kathy from The Thermals were both really nice. Having said that, Kathy did get a little bit wound up towards the end of the interview ("Erm... Can you go now?"), but that's possibly because I'd stepped just the wrong side of the "slightly stalkerish fan" line.

They might end up reading this and get an ego or something. I've never met anyone I disliked.

Laura told a brief anecdote about cleaning windows

Which is nice, otherwise i might not have continued loving his band

jonah matranga (far, gratitude, new end original, onelinedrawing, solo)
ian love (rival schools, cardia, solo)
frank turner (million dead, solo)
grandaddy
the killers - no really! they let me and friend in for free at a show they were playing at fibbers and were really humble that we even wanted to see them

Win Butler from Arcade Fire
Matt Caughthran from The Bronx
Tom from Forward Russia

are all ace

was nice. i believe he let me try on his hat for a photo. i may have been a bit drunk, as i was in italy where wine flowed like a river. i then went bowling (not with anyone from delays)

was very amiable at ATP-whatever-year-it-was-the-Minutemen (or Mike and George) played. He warned me and my fella not to sit up by the wall downstairs 'cos he saw someone puking there not long before, and was happy to have a little chat.
