I have to say it was an amazing trip.

My highlights of the festival were... Drum roll please...

Feist:


Grouplove (the atmosphere was great):


Delta Spirit:


Radiohead (not a great video):


The Joy Formidable (not such great sound in this vid but I love the song!):


And the other bands we saw were ace but these are gunna stick in my memory for a long time.

So we went to Bonnaroo... 18.6.12 - Mikee

And here are some of the highlights:

Update!

I really am sorry for our lack of daily posts - we've just gotten super busy. But we will be doing a rundown to Bonnaroo before we set off - consisting of who we're looking forward to seeing. I think we should update the blog to say 'regular posts' instead of daily :(.

Anyway, catch you later with our rundown.

LOVELY CUP by GROUPLOVE

So my old housemate Kat introduced me to First Aid Kit, have seen them perform at the Union Chapel and they were lovely, as is the Union Chapel with its ice creams and what not...

This is one of their new tracks off their new album, Emmylou... The album was produced by Mike Mogis and y'all should know how much I love Bright Eyes... These Swedish ladies are very lucky, and singing about awesome people.

EMMYLOU by FIRST AID KIT

30.1.12 - Em

This lady is on the heavier side of the music scale than some of the twee stuff I've been posting lately. She is an art school drop out and her name is Hannah Clark going under the name of FOE. They're playing at Camden Barfly tonight - looks pretty awesome to me.

BLOOD PRESSURE bu MUTEMATH

25.01.12 - Mikee

Incredible gentlemen from Devon, currently supporting Ed Sheeran and touring like a boss he's performing to sold out stadiums all around Europe. Here's to hoping he'll go even further.

And a gentleman I have just stumbled upon. I like this.


SMALL HANDS by KEATON HENSON

24.01.12 - Mikee

Brand new song from a man I met just once all the way up in Edinburgh whilst on tour with Lucy Rose. We could not have asked for a more awesome host nor a better night out with him and his brother, who incidentally are incredible musicians. Hope to be hearing more from Rob very soon!


EVERY BREAKDOWN by CRISIS COUNCIL
 


And another person I've met before - Louise Golbey is the backing singer for Broadcast 2000 and a fine soloist in her own right. Here's one of her tracks:

BROTHER by KITES

23.1.12 - Em

My lovely friend Christina and I had the honour of interviewing these guys back in March 2011 when they were touring with The Boxer Rebellion. There now set to play at Coachella and are up for HMV's next big thing. So proud of them, and they are the nicest bunch of guys ever.

MILES AWAY by YEARS AROUND THE SUN

20.1.12 - Em

As I was browsing for inspirational videos for work, have come across this. The video isn't really apt for what I'm looking for but it's cool, and the music sounds like Depeche Mode come Hot Chip ... So yay!

SAILS by HOORAY FOR EARTH

YOU WISH YOU WERE RED by TRAILER TRASH TRACEYS



And the lady who is the next big thing that we are all coming to love, saw her on Jools Holland months ago, I quite like the video... I want the tigers!

BORN TO DIE by LANA DEL RAY

Oh la la

Mikee's laptop has broken - such is life - but he shall be away for a while...

Also - Coachella tickets sold out for both weekends in like three hours... Last year when I went it took 6 days for the one weekend to sell out! Holy macaroni. I hope everyone who is going has a great time this year. I will return to the beautiful polo fields in the future!

14.1.12 - Em

My dogs ill again. :/ These guys have a new record coming out sometime this year...

IN REPAIR by OUR LADY PEACE

13.1.12 - Em

Oh god I feel like I'm going to fall asleep.
Have been giving The Maccabees new album a listen... I haven't really a) listened to the previous stuff and b) what I did hear I didn't think was very good. But I thought I'd give this one a chance from the nice posters and name of the album - Given to the Wild. And I think most of it's quite nice, so I'm giving it a thumbs up from my end. Not much more to say than the track 'Uknown' is awesome. However I cannot find a video - due to the newness of its release and the amount of videos on youtube of them live, playing a song the audience didn't know. Anyway...


PELICAN by TTHE MACCABEES

12.1.12 - Em

This was released 6 days ago :). My love for Blink will probably fade but will always have a soft spot for one of the bands I used to listen to everyday when I was a teenager and kept stealing my big brothers CD's. Here's to being 14.

7.1.12 - Em

So stoked to see that the Coachella line up will be announced next week, my heart seems determined to do whatever I can to go back, it's a bit scary how much I want to go back! Anyway, I shall distract myself with creativity and musics...
