It’s cheerful and cleverly made pop music at it’s best, perfect little festival band but I’m curious to see if they have anything else up their sleeve.Īt this stage of the day, hitting 9 PM and the festival slowly coming to an end, I find myself calculating the chance I will be able to make it through the next gig standing up. How did that happen? Did S omething Good Can Happen get so much airplay that everyone bought the album? The Northern Irish boys are still a bit shaky in parts but are playing with loads of gusto and the crowd is clearly loving it. Shame that Joe Goddard wasn’t with the band this time, although they used video images to produce his essential warm vocals.Īfter the steaming Hot Chip crowd flowed out of the sauna of the Bravo tent I wandered over to the India stage for a spot of Two Door Cinema Club and was amazed to see a huge crowd stretching far beyond the tent joyfully dancing and singing along to every song. With a hit packed catalogue of material to choose from it’s almost too easy: Over And Over, One Life Stand, Ready For The Floor, One Pure Thought, Hold On.

I’ve seen them a few times now and enjoy them more each time, they understand perfectly how to build a festival set and have the crowd jumping around in no time. On the other side of the dance spectrum we find the straight laced but seductive London synth sound of Hot Chip. Maybe it’s the Manchester thing, never really got any of the bands with that sound, bands like Foals speak to me a lot more. The crowd enjoyed it and so did I, but somewhere in the ‘rave’ part of their music I lose interest. On to Manchester new rave alumni Delphic, who delivered exactly what you would expect: a whirlwind show of synthesizers, beats, strobe lights and aspirational lyrics ( Give me something I can believe in), brought with a lot of energy and conviction. And where was Parow during the hilarious closer Doos Dronk?ĭie Antwoord at Lowlands 2010 (photo Jelmer de Haas via 3VOOR12) A lot of the material was still rough around the edges and friend & fellow Zef man Jack Parow did a much better job of connecting with the audience. The beats were there, the X-rated lyrics were all over the place ( Jou ma se poes in a fishpaste jar!), the hits were there ( Enter The Ninja, Beat Boy, Wat Pomp), but somehow it didn’t reach the next level. It turned out to be a very entertaining show with special mention for the tiny and talented Yo-Landi Vi$$er, but it didn’t blow me away. I had high expectations for this act, bringing something completely new to the festival lineup. A friend of mine said that if I love Radiohead I should love The National as well, but I’m going to have to let him down.Īnd now for something completely different: Die Antwoord, completely off kilter rap techno hip hop Zef beat threesome from Cape Town.
I was treated to a beautiful rendition of Bloodbuzz Ohio and heard a well oiled band playing intense songs with understated emotion, but it still didn’t grab me.
