Down on the Farm
The Guardian talks to some of the bands from Glastonbury about farming- they’re at around the 19th paragraph of the article.

Photos from BBC are here.

Another one from the BBC (not on the previously linked page):

And you can watch a stream of the performance here, and what a surprise- it’s not blocked for me so you non-UK residents might be able to watch this stream too.

    Does that mean at the El Rey show there are going to be 3 opening acts??

  4. 2008 June 28

    Yup. Oops, I take that back!

    Their Glasto set was amazing, seriously can’t wait til I get to see them in person at Reading!

    There are a few pictures of them over at nme.com but it takes some wading to get to them

    Only two openers on the West Coast shows, guys. I’ll tell you why: Cut Off Your Hands have had some visa issues and won’t be joining the tour till Sacramento. Morning Benders will be on all West Coast shows, and The Blood Arm will play all the SoCal shows.

    We Are Scientists are still planning to play all shows, even the El Rey one.

    Do you have any infos about the new drummer???? where is Adam Aaronson????

  8. 2008 June 29

    Wow, just back from my holidays and so many new things. :D Don’t know what to check out first. The NME-interview is hilarious, as usual. :D

    Just watched a bit of the bbc-stream. Chris’s bass sounds fantastic. And a bigger stage is quite nice — more room for Chris’s fine movements. *swoooon* ;)

    *looking forward to a nice evening watching/reading all the WAS stuff*

    What do you mean, Christelle? Adam’s still there- he was playing with the guys at Glastonbury.

  10. 2008 June 29

    oh my god, i didn’t recognize Adam without his glasses! sorry..

    We go to the Summercase next 18th july to see them again(4 times this year, in 4 different european cities!).

    Its great to be able to see all the BBC coverage outside the UK for a change. Thanks for the hint, Renee, cause I dont even check anymore! I ve just spend all afternoon checking out performances, this is heaven. Gutted though that they didnt film the Mystery Jets gig. That would have been too good.

    BAHAHAHAHAHA! Thank you, Lux, for linking that.

    I wish they sang the whole thing.

    haha, that was funny and sweet. lovely.
    Ok, I am biased, but I would love to hear Chris singing more often. I like his voice.

    +1 on the request for hearing Chris sing too :)
