Re: Carling Stage

Fairly un inspiring list, is that it?

Re: Carling Stage

out of those, I would recommend the following as worth seeing:

The Raveonettes
Sleater Kinney
Adam Green
The Dresden Dolls

I would also recommend Ladytron, but they clash with The Pixies and this ere boy is going to have to make a tough decision that night.

I just bought "songs you learn and sing to". Or something along those lines. How good?

Re: Carling Stage

Cherubs are definitely worth seeing. Well, I haven't seen them live, but if their album is anything to go by, they should be good.

Re: Carling Stage

You HAVE to see the Mystery Jets, and check out Saul Williams, Forward Russia!, The Blood Arm and Echo and The Bunnymen, although depends if you would prefer to watch Bloc Party on the Radio 1 stage - it will be packed by then though, and also full of annoying scenester types so depends if you're a die hard bloc party fan or not. im probably going to steer clear of them cos I've already seen em twice and fancy something different.

Re: Carling Stage

The Reading lineup is great - its got better and better. Anyone up for a DiS Festival meet-up?! (Prefably if your female, blonde and gorgeous)

Re: Carling Stage

yeah it looks like that, i was typing Komakino and i got to Kom and it disapeared. now i realise that was just to the bottom of the list making it look like nu-metal is being defended this year

Re: Carling Stage

Sleater Kinney are an absolute must-see.
Their last album is really good and they're a fantastic live band.
