Michael MacLennan Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 For those going to Reading or Leeds, obviously there's the bigger bands to go and see, but I was wondering what smaller tips people have, so we can see all the groovy bands of the future before they become huge. So anybody with any top tips?Personally, I'm definitely going to check out Saul Williams, eclectic rapper who managed to survive and thrive when supporting Nine Inch Nails. Also going to take a look at Clor, doing indie-electro thing which could be interesting, probably not too far away from some of the more mainstream acts breaking through right now.

Inkster Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 I'm not goin this year but bands I would recommend would be GRATITUDE, THE RAVEONETTES, BATTLE, DRESDEN DOLLS and 65 DAYS OF STATIC.I would mention others but your looking for up and coming bands to make it over the next year or so and some I would mention people would say are making it already.Although a couple on my list people also might say are making it already too.

medichi Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Gratitude are a definate must-see - not playing the Sunday I'm at Leeds, but I'll see 'em in Liverpool just before. Rise Against are the band I'm most excited to see, and I reckon Hatebreed near Leeds will be worth it for pit-action alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medichi Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Oh shit, and of course The Crimea - GUTTED I'm missing them. Ex-Crocketts play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Arctic Monkeys are definitely a band that will become huge. The Carling stage is always good for future acts. Last year I saw the Kaiser Chiefs there and the year before that I saw Franz Ferdinand.only 2 weeks to go until Reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 i think they do. I've got one but everyone else going with me doesn't. we should be in Reading by 12.00. We'll go to Pavlov's Dog for a few drinks and then get some Excelsior and then setup camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
