What a savage weekend. That dan deacon gig was pretty mental alright.
was that modeselektor track not that blazin remix?
@ Mike – Yep.
Dan Deacon was awesome, two brothers got putin the front of the “gauntlet” thing he did. Lil bro is only 12 and loved it
Dan Deacon was the hightlight of EP for me- unbelievably insane and bloody excellent!
SEBP good way to start off the morning and Florence and the Machine quite rocking too…shame I never collected the hug she had for everybody in the audience!
That Dan Deacon video from the stage is great. I used to work with all them boys that were standing up there looking down at us, thinking “what kind of mentalists are these?”. I can never speak to them again.
Deacon was definitely a highlight. Even though it was virtually identical to Vicar St, I was just glad that even a few of the 200 people I told to go see him came along. SEBP were great as usual, it’ll be odd to ever go to the Picnic without having them for Saturday breakfast.
Loved MBV and Gridnerman, Foals, Hercules & Love Affair. Seen Sigur Ros many a time, but thought they did a great job as headliners. Other good times were had at Jape, Underworld and little bits of Pivot, Juana Molina, The Roots. Not forgetting of course, You’re Only Massive on Sun, another gig we brought an army to. Class stuff.
really thought the opening track of SEBP set was brilliant, what was the name of that track?
Yes, Dan Deacon was my highlight too. Truly awesome stuff. Been listening to Spiderman of the Rings all week since. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced anything quite like that at a gig before.
SEBP on Saturday morning were very good. They really got stuck in and they crowd appreciated them for it. Pity about that early slot. They new stuff sounds great.

Opening track was Everything Flows – the single.
Really? There were no vocals at all, thought it was a new instrumental. Thanks.
You must of missed the first song so.
It was either radar or Who are you and what do you want. Both demoed live from the new album.
