Great.
Out of about 30 bands, the one that I do know and like is on at the same time as The Verve.
-
That said,
this is the sort of stage I'll probably find myself at through the day when everywhere else is Klaxonsed or Gossiped etc.
I wonder whereabouts it will be.
-
It's in the Park field
-
-
Not sure which band you're talking about
...no scheduling to hand... but i don't think that's the final, established running order. plus BBC stage finishes early for bands, I believe...
-
At Bestival it finishes much later
I think Foals were on at about 1.30am last year, or something like that
-
-
-
"Come up with any names, then?"
"Yeah, I think we can really succeed if we call ourselves Grinny Grandad"
-
hahah
They're actually a decent band though, albeit the name... seen them a couple of times.
-
-
sky larkin, fight like apes and jonquil
are all mint.
triple h productions sounds lolworthy -
it's actually The Kabeedies
not Kabeddies. I've always wanted to correct something!
-
fight like apes <3
kabeedies <3
cheeky cheeky <3o wait... i'm not going.
-
locarnos
hmmm
not bad.
cuntish though.
shame.-
I just found out I'm going
on my own!
Aaaargghhh! Is this advisable?
-
-
oh.
have actually only heard of one of those bands. bit of an anti climax. oh well.
-
The Chapman Family
are well worth it.
-
-
i've never heard of any of these bands
but i reckon this stage will still be better than pyramid stage.
cool
-
Fight Like Apes
Lively bunch worth a look
-
^
totally
-
-
-
CHEEKY CHEEKY AND THE NOSEBLEEDS?!?!?!?!!!11
Is this what it's come to?
-
Can't stand...
Fight Like Apes. They do me noggin in.
-
Can't wait to see Triple H
Wonder who he'll be wrestling?
-
i'll be there
for Jonquil, Sky Larkin and many more i feel.
-
Good
to see sky larkin doing well these days. The Park turns into a mud slide when it rains.
-
-
-
-
The Brute Chorus
On the Friday are definitely worth checking out good band
-
Many of those bands
are horrific.

We haven't been told
what time we're playing yet but if you look at the BBC Introducing site some names are displayed bigger than others so you can pretty much guess the running order. My band The Chapman Family are in a pretty small typeface so I presume that we'll be on pretty early on the friday, nevermind.
One recent reviewer called us "the worst band I've ever seen". Good. If you like whiney middle class indie bands who sing jaunty songs about fancying girls and eating chips on nights out in provincial towns don't come and watch us. If you don't mind being deafened with feedback and listening to lyrics about drowning children and the like, give us a go. Either way, we're chuffed to fuck that we're playing it and if you think we're shit then fine, we're still going to play anyway.
-
Yeah sorry
I just saw a couple of names I didn't like. And I'd missed my lunch. I like your stuff actually. And really, who cares what I think?
-
I wasn't having a go
at you, in all honesty I agree with you, (I was just adding to the end of the thread a shameless plug of my band). There's some utter nonsense on in my opinion but we're just some lowly northerners who'll be on first or second so no one gives a shit anyway. HOWEVER, we are very happy to be playing in the first place as we've had some rotten luck in the past 18 months. Plus I get to see Jay-Z, mint... Hope you got your lunch today.
-
As predicted...
...we'e on first or second at 315pm on friday 27th June.
Come down and watch us smash stuff up. Please.

Such as?
Horrific is a bit over the top, I'd say a couple are just average, but the rest seem pretty good to me, or at least the recodings are. Hearing them live might be a different story altogether.
