Charlatans, James, Manic

Charlatans will get the hits out. Probably a couple of new numbers as they are working on a new LP but you'll be sure to get some of their biggest hits.

Manics will probably lean 60-40% in favour of hits as well. No idea about James, I've never been interested in them.

Thanks, I've never ever heard a single thing by James but I thought they were popular round here.

is this Benicassim 1992?

AKA, the Spanish V Festival.

religious curly haired nutcase band.

sit down is a choon to end all choons though.

It's the 20th anniversary, so suposedly they're bringing some of those bands who were here at the start. Unfortunately we have to deal with the Katys, Ellies, Courteneers and Tinnies who these years have probably been here more than at their mum's home but Vince Power has decided to focus on the British young people and that's what they demand. Kasabian is the only real headliner announced, so if they manage to get some exclusiveness and some Americans it will end being decent.

I bought for 70€ so it's quite easy to amortise. Also, Presidents of the USA

Amortise, learnt a new word today. always thought he played for Dortmund :/

We use that word in Spanish and it exists in English, thought it would have the same meaning.

I also looked up the meaning

I reckon they'd be pretty fun live.

Yeah, it's just I hadn't thought about them in nearly 20 years.

But the main thing, did I use "amortise" correctly or not?

I hate Vince Power

Travis and Razorlight, amazing!! Although I confess I won't mind seeing Travis for the first time...

I remember once going camping and meeting a dog called Siddorn who would wander over seeking scraps from our crappy disposable barbeque. We drunkenly chanted 'Siddorn next to me!' all night after that. It was then I remembered about James.

I (willingly) saw Travis at the peak of their game, back in The Man Who era, and they were utter garbage live. I saw them a couple of years later, when they had beefed up their sound, and... they were still shite. Awful, awful band.

Thanks

I'm particularly hard on them as there was a two-year period in Scotland when it looked like Why Does It Always Rain... was becoming an unofficial national anthem. Thankfully that's all been forgotten about, but they are just such a limp, insipid bunch of no-marks it makes me a bit angry.
