Lovely. I saw them in 07 and they were so loud. I loved it.

Yea, I saw them just a little bit ago in a really tiny place and was pretty much blown away. They have amazing stage presence and are a lot of fun.

also maybe field day.

btw can someone confirm dj shadow is worth seeing live? il probably go as this shadowsphere thing he is doing looks pretty cool and i dont have much else on as you can see, but never really been a huge fan of his besides entroducing. hes worth seeing right?

I saw Shadow back in November on the Sphere tour and loved it. Easily a great show. Im also a big fan, so definitely a bias, but he puts more effort into his shows than any electronic act Ive ever seen, at least a solo electronic act. If tix are fairly priced, Id say go. He really mixes up the music well.

btw, are any of these bands worth seeing? They are at the day I'm at Camden Crawl. Only a few bands I wanna see so one or two recommendations would give me some options.

Becoming Real, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Cate Le Bon, Cloud Control, Dels, Divorce, Dry The River, Fever Fever, Fiction, Flats, Holy State, Japanese Voyeurs, John & Jehn, Kong, Little Comets, Lulu and the Lampshades, Marques Toliver, Martyna Baker, MNDR, Spectrals, Team Ghost, and The Phantom Band. 2:54, Banjo Or Freakout, Beth Jeans Houghton, Thecocknbullkid, Dam Mantle, Dinosaur Pile Up, Django Django, Foreign Office, Hadouken!, Hedoniacs, Housse De Racket, Hudson Mohawke, Johnny Foreigner, Let's Buy Happiness, Lethal Bizzle, P Money, Peggy Sue, PolarBear, S.C.U.M., Sarabeth Tucek, Sissy And The Blisters, Sound Of Rum, Star Slinger, The Chapman Family, The Computers, Toddla T, Tom Williams & The Boat, Veronica Falls, and Visions of Trees.

Johnny Foreigner are good (they used to stay over at our student house when they played Brum ) and were a top live act. Haven't seen them for a long time though. Lethal Bizzle should be fun. Spectrals were top when I saw 'em support some band or other. Don't think I know anyone else on there

Our drummer's other band are supporting Johnny Foreigner on a few dates but other than that I don't know anything about them. The Phantom Band are worth catching and I like what little Veronica Falls I've heard.

Ive heard of a few of those, Karl, but the only one Ive heard proper is Sarabeth Tucek. I know Johnny is very high on her as well. I dont think shes worth going out of the way for, but her album was quite good that I heard a couple of years ago. Dunno if its your cup of tea though.

4/20 The Pipettes @ Mercury Lounge
4/21 The Raveonettes @ MHOW
4/22 Blue Angel Lounge @ Pianos
5/2 Tim Minchin @ MHOW
5/4 Foals @ Terminal 5
5/18 Fleet Foxes @ United Palace Theatre
5/19 Fleet Foxes @ United Palace Theatre
5/24 Arctic Monkeys @ Central Park

got latitude and field day tickets bought, in terms of single gigs, just das racist in manchester, 13th may. wanna go to wu tang but 35 quid is a hefty wedge.
