Really ? I saw Confidence Man at all points east fest in London last year and thought they were brilliant. Excellent band, great frontman / woman, exciting, fun, sexy and just really really fun. They were in a tent so it worked a lot better than say on an outdoor stage perhaps.

this was an outdoor festival and they actually played twice, once early in the day and then again because St Germain pulled out. They were on directly before Orbital and it just felt really cringey, guess the crowd didnt really get into them either as they were a bit pissed off with St Germain no show
JAZZMANB

Aye,bit 50/50 for me .Found her few months back but heard more kurt vile collab stuff and mellow stuff and a bit of what must be her main sound so found the set a bit samey .Great band and sound (lacked a bit bottom end ) ,sure if i knew more of the stuff i'd have enjoyed it more .Love the Gillian welch Everything is free tune .
As for the venue it was okay,not a patch on the boilershop but the sound was better than Parquet courts the other week (band way better though)

Remember seeing her at a festival a couple of years ago, she was on the main stage with a good crowd, about two thirds of the way through her set about 70% of the crowd just got up and fucked off across the site. She must've been wondering wtf was happening. It was just around the time Christine and the queens had released tilted and she was just coming on in a tent. Was quite funny

I'm a weathered older music fan and i hear the riffs lifted off stuff etc ,the main problem as a new listener was , okay i get it ,now end the song and instead we get another minute or so .She has a great voice but doesn't go mellow enoughRemember seeing her at a festival a couple of years ago, she was on the main stage with a good crowd, about two thirds of the way through her set about 70% of the crowd just got up and fucked off across the site.

I get that, playing before Orbital to a field full of old ravers was probs not for them !! It was very much their crowd when I saw them and the place was going nuts for them. Fully get how a lot of people would see it as cringey.

Also, hadnt heard of Nakhane before, but just had a quick flick through and sounds great.

Good isnt it, going to see him next week, looking forward to it.
I think the only significant release I missed this week was Laibach's version of "The Sound of Music" soundtrack.

Just listened to some of that, thats f***ing mental!!

I'm intending to give it a listen. They are a bit mad!
I’m dreading mine. It’ll be completely dominated by the Greatest Showman soundtrack.
Letting the kids use my Spotify is a nightmare !!

yeah yeah, the old "it was the kids" excuse! There's nothing wrong with liking show tunes!
They’re hilarious like. The documentary on them playing in North Korea is worth a watchJust listened to some of that, thats f***ing mental!!
I believe they conceived this album (so to speak) when they were in North Korea.
