Ummmmm so looks like Foals did a total Primary Colours on this one, their new track Spanish Sahara proving that they can move beyond mathy hi-hat ravaging annoyance pretty expertly.

I think I’m still in shock from just how incredible this set was. Dripping with bizarre electronic tidal waves and monster machine sounds, I was soooo doubtful as to whether they could emulate their records live. Seriously. They didn’t just emulate the record, they reproduced and obliterated it.
The Transistors, who were fined for playing ‘too loudly’ on top of a building in Chch and are completely ace at filling that void where The Replacements used to be, are playing Mighty Mighty 11th March with Street Chant!

BASS. Lots and lots of bass. It’s the most striking thing about Telepathe’s live show. Literally. SFBH shook so much during their closer of So Fine that collapse wouldn’t have seemed like too much of an impossibility.

There was this incredible moment during The Ruby Suns’ set (7pm Day 3), somewhere around when it became apparent that Oh Mojave was now a bona fide club banger, that three of my friends and I almost instinctively let off our party poppers at the same drop…
Direct from Blink: According to sales progress, Campus A Low Hum will sell out in less then seven days. However, when I sent this same warning out last year, it sold out in three, so yeah. Don’t mess around! So many gutted people last year, and trust me, if you miss this event, you are [...]
