Woof Woof!

You might assume that my day is simply filled with tummy scratches, barking, smelling other doggies bottoms, chasing cats, burying bones, and just generally lazing about, but you'd be wrong. Green Man makes me work hard for my Pedigree Chum, and one of the tasks he's set me is to give you good people a little treat each day in the form of track or video highlighting each of splendid acts playing at this year's festival. Several have already gone up on our Facebook & Twitter pages, if you haven't seen them, here's what you've missed so far...
http://www.facebook.com/greenmanfestival

But back to today, and I'm delighted to introduce you to Rocketnumbernine! This awesome duo will be sure to get you moving come August:

Be sure to drop by tomorrow for another!

Your faithful pal,
Walter

Lots of stuff from Folk Police records.

Bach.

Listend to lanterns on the lake, but didn't think much of them.

Walter Pardon and Fred Jordan.

Have now totally revised my opinion of Josh T Pearson, having listened to him in that band he was in. Listened to it on the way to Brecon, and it was bang on.

yesterday it was the liminanas:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT-5qUa1JEI

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MartCry9yBM

fantastic french garage pop

with a girl drummer

always the sign of quality

before that, i had sharon von etten's 'epic' on repeat:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cLMdbgRf0U

but the last couple of month's most played record by a country mile has been wild flag's self titled debut:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q25zB3lJqgY

not on that record but a pure rock and roll moment:

You did take your time ray_rad but it's good that The Leisure Society are one of the few we can all agree on ... along with First Aid Kit.

Haven't done much listening yet but liking Dark Dark Dark and Junior Boys.

Feist is what I think of as a typical Sunday night headliner (although last year was untypical) ... better than Joanna Newsom, but not a lot.

they've got to NY - so i know they paly outside of france

Yes they're fab aren't they?

I particularly like "Je suis un go-go girl"

My local vinyl emporium (Probe Records) made their record album of the year for 2010, which was how I chanced upon them.

They would go down a treat at this year's GM I'm sure.

Thu, 09/02/2012 - 1:56pm

 

They rather good but very retro. Their last record - Focus in on the looking glass - brings to mind classic UK 60s psych (floyd, tomorrow, pretty things, July etc.) but they're all fressh faced young 'uns from Nashville. In fact the band is on hold while they complete their studies. Not much chance of them appearing at GM this year I'd have thought, but you never know - they'll be on their summer hols.

I've been listening to Sharon Ven Etten's new album, Tramp alot. Also the two tracks off Bowerbirds album that have been released and their first two albums to get me in the mood for the new one. If they both played Green Man this year I'd be very happy.

agree about sharon van etten

tramp isn't quite there with epic for me yet

but no doubt a few more listens'll do it

and yup, bowerbords are fab

the whole new album is fantastic

they played years ago

way too early on the main stage

let's have them back - up near the top of the bill on the walled garden / pub stage

Hi All Green Man Festival Goers

I am from Abergavenny and have a top USA southern style rock band coming to the UK during the Festival period. The band have played with the likes of ZZ top and Lynyrd Skynyrd in the USA. Here are some video links to the band and the USA crowds love them. They are here shooting a video of a new rugby based song which is currently in mashed video form.

If you would like to see SWAMPDAWAMP at the festival please let the organisors know on this forum. You can also listen to the bands albums at the website www.swampdawamp.com and by clicking on an album and then each song.
