Who's my off-the-wall must-see?

[Glasto-mum]

Hi all - this time next week!!!!! I'm after some advice on The One to see who's off my normal radar of big old names, please - in the past I've enjoyed the Scissor Sisters, Unthanks, Florence & Slomo - and I do like a wobbly dubstep bassline....any ideas gratefully received and seriously considered - thanks, Glasto-mum xx

[Hash4Cash]

if you are oer 35 i suggest Nick Turners Space Ritual on Spirit of '71 Sunday @ 20:30

[maclauk]

Last year Beardyman was an eye opener for me... I had no idea how far the art of beatboxing come.....

[Glasto-mum]

Thanks guys...and what if I'm not 35?? I'll certainly check Nick Turner and Beardyman, even if my son has a teenage moment about them!

[Minxycat]

dreadzone and DJ YODA. Also epic bibb is good x x x

[Glasto-mum]

Hi Minxycat - I think Mr Bibb is on my Clashfinder General, and as I've never, ever been to a DJ session (so clearly over 35!!) I'll try DJ Yoda! Appreciate all these ideas as it's easy to get stuck in a rut and think it's a groove......

[Holesey]

Miles Kane and the Orbital DJ set

[David]

You simply have to go see Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer.

Toodle pip!

[Glasto-mum]

I'm intrigued! Is Mr B a poet, a mis-spent youth or just a bloke with a guitar? And as you're a Glasto Virgin, who's on your hit list?

He's fellow with a banjolele who raps in the Queens English - chap-hop, I believe it's called.

I've been going to Glasto since the '90s, just don't post much on here - but I'm particularly looking forward to DELS and Ghostpoet on Sunday afternoon and catching one or more of Guillemots' three sets.

I'll be there if I can! Hawkwind headlined my first Glastonbury (hence my avatar) so it would seem rude not to! Have to get from John Cooper Clarke (who was also there in 81) to Nik Turner and then hotfoot over to see Queens of the Stone Age (who weren't!) More of a rush than I like, but think it has to be done!

[Glasto-mum]

Hmmmm - chap-hop must be worth 30 mins of anyone's time! Hope Mr B gets a big crowd and mighty applause

[Glasto-mum]

This list is taking shape, thanks to all! Synthetic Gardeners of Cybalon - if we chose bands for their names, this one would surely win..... though I have a soft spot for Hobo Jones and the Junkyard Dogs, who are a fine bunch of musicians too!

The Synthetic Garden is one of the installations in Shangri-la - a club/video/gardening/robot thing. Run by a friend of ours which is why it's high on our list! Take a look, say hi!

[acidliam]

Ha I wish my mum was into dubstep.

[TAFKASair]

Liam, that sounds like one of those youff insults "yeah, yer Mum's into dubstep"

Seconding the call for Mr B and his Chap-hop.

[Glasto-mum]

Well - those cyber-gardens just remind me there's more to Glastonbury than bands! And you may find that lots of us mums have a broad and tolerant approach to music, with all sorts of odd tastes (in music!) picked up along the way.....!

[glastomad]

Liam, that sounds like one of those youff insults "yeah, yer Mum's into dubstep"

Yeah, my mum's into dubstep My mates think its funny but also wish theres do to

Oh and you wouldn't like orbital i've played you a bit and said it wern't bassy enough aha

[Glasto-mum]

Hi son!! So I won't go to Orbital......give me one good bassy dubstep - and pls. take the dog out!

[glastomad]

I didn't take the dog out hehe

[maclauk]

Cannae find Mr B on clashfinder..... someone want to point me in the right direction.....

[KarenEH]

I love dubstep! Takes me back many a year when the local town hall had reggae nights and the air was so thick you could hardly see the band!!
I play it very loud when my son's not around to laugh at my dancing! can't beat a bit of getting yer swagga back!!

[Minxycat]

also give The Kills a go they are great x

[KarenEH]

Yes- they are on my list too! Really looking forward to seeing Jessie J although she's not my usual style. Def going to see Patrick Wolf too.

[subtitlesonly]

also give The Kills a go they are great x

Not sure if they can be classed as "off the wall", but have to agree. So much chemistry between them without them actually having sex on stage.

[rickleach]

wombles?

[Glasto-mum]

So - I've taken the dog out! The Wombles - still weighing this up......they may be so far off the wall that they've come back round the other side! I'll add the Kills to my ever-growing list - and we must be able to locate Mr B between us, surely?

[Minxycat]

Yes i am up for Mr B too. . . When its found can someone post it on here? X

[rickleach]

the wombles are the new coldplay..or is it the other way round?

[Fran]

Its ALL about Jimmy Cliff for me! He is a legend!

[jimbo21]

FOLKFACE!

Providing you are pissed enough to enjoy them!!

We will be there, hopefully.

[KarenEH]

Would love to see Folkface but i think thery're clashing with someone I really want to see!!

[amcminn]

Check out City and Colour, Dallas Green has an amazing voice! Haven't seen many talking about him on the forum, definitely think he's one to check out! Ill be lying back listening to him in Avalon.

[pixiemalone]

Hi there!
If you like bass and dubstep may I suggest:
Annie Mac
Zinc
Joker
Skream & Benga
Actually basically most of the line up on Oxlyers in West on Sunday

That shd be rumbly enough for ya

Bye!

[Glasto-mum]

Thanks for all these off-the-wall recommendations (some more off than others, maybe but hey, that was the idea)- I'll get down with my highlighter and Clashfinder and plan my school timetable - and then when we're THERE IN REAL LIFE NEXT WEEK (getting a bit excited now!) it'll all go awry and it'll be great Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer has to be my Must-See.....

[Sparkey]

Shy FX and the Ragga Twins is a must for me....

[Cidersid]

Saw a band called the Gentle Mystic's somewhere last year? can't remember where? Anyone know if they're playing this year?

[glastomad]

Shy FX and the Ragga Twins is a must for me....

Exactly the same with me, going to go off so much

[mifftas]

Exactly the same with me, going to go off so much

[fireballxlarge]
