Why is it that

If you play guitar and harmonica at the same time like Bob Dylan or Neil Young, you're haled as a genius, but as soon as you strap a pair of cymbals between your knees, no one wants to know you?

lol

that should be amended for future generations to "as soon as you crouch over a laptop no one wants to know"

gah, there was a girl who supported Enon at the windmill who played guitar, bass and drums using loop pedals, which was amazing as the novelty didn't wear off for the whole set! She'd play a bass riff, play some guitar, then start the drums and sing.. oh that's the name: Ill Ease.

Son of Dave is ace

loops himself beatboxing then sings & plays the harmonica over the top - ends up sounding like a bluesier beck

Honkeyfinger

He has a great name. Palls a little over a half-hour set, but still kind of fun.

Philip Roebuck

He's an actual one man band that Albini produced. He played at the Shellac ATP. Brilliant.

Howard Jones / Nick Kershaw

I think these eighties geeks played all the instruments on their records.
