T in the Park 2009

In no particular order, here's my top 5 bands from 'T in the Park 2009'.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

THE TWILIGHT SAD

BBC INTRODUCING ... STAGE [Sunday]
-----------------------------------------------

I've loved just about everything I've heard from this Glasgow band but seeing them live is a different thing altogether. Only played for around half an hour but the band put more into that short set than most bands put into their full career. Absolutely awesome!!!

BROKEN RECORDS

BBC INTRODUCING ... STAGE [Saturday]
--------------------------------------------------------

Described by some as the UK's answer to Arcade Fire the Edinburgh band were another who didn't disappoint despite also being restricted to a short set. As with The Twilight Sad, I would recommend seeing Broken Records live to fully appreciate their amazing music.

THE PHANTOM BAND

T BREAK STAGE [Friday]

---------------------------

If the Yeah Yeah Yeahs hadn't been so bad on the NME stage I probably wouldn't even have went to see The Phantom Band but they were and I did and it was one of the highlights of my weekend. I hadn't heard much off them before catching their set and what I had heard didn't prepare me for this in any way. At times they seemed to be on the verge of falling apart but that just added to the experience. Described in the 'T' programme as like 'The Beta Band meeting Hot Chip at a party in Nick Cave's house'. Good attempt at describing the indescribable but still falling well short. Just get to one of their gigs and see for yourself.

CAMERA OBSCURA

RED BULL BEDROOM JAM FUTURES STAGE [Friday]

---------------------------------------------------------

Four albums down the line and the Glasgow band still never disappoint. This half hour set left everyone in the crowd desperate for more. Luckily the band will be playing at the Kilmarnock_Edition_Festival in August.

MOGWAI

KING TUT'S WAH WAH TENT [Sunday]

------------------------------------------

What better way to round off a great weekend than to be blown away by Scotland's finest? There shouldn't be anything to tell you about Mogwai that you don't already know but if you haven't seen them live before make sure you do. You will seriously be blown away, especially if like me you stand too close to the speakers.

T in The Park 2009

So it's nearly that time again for my annual trip to 'T in the Park.' Taking advantage of the early bird prices I paid for the tickets 2 days after last year's festival ended. Big Mistake. The problem with this is that you dont know the line up in advance. In the past that hasn't been too big a deal as there's usually plenty going on to make it a great weekend. It's not as if the headliners are the problem. Ok, I've no intention of watching Kings Of Leon again and I've definitely no interest in seeing Snow Patrol but 'T in the Park' has NEVER been about the headliners for me. There has always been better bands further down the bill or headlining the smaller stages. This year just doesn't look a strong enough line-up. Don't get me wrong I'll probably come home on Monday raving about how good this year's festival turned out but it will be in spite of the line-up rather than because of it. One good thing to come out of it all is my girlfriend will be happy as she'll get the pleasure of my company for the likes of Lady Ga Ga, Lily Allen and Katy Perry. So when I leave the house on Friday morning it will be with an open mind that I set off for 'T' hoping that the following bands will live up to expectation and that a few other bands will win me over.

-

One of my favourite bands from my younger years. I never got to see them live first time around so hopefully they'll help me make up for that, even if Jerry Dammers is missing :(

Hear their set from Glastonbury 2009 here.

I have to admit that it's very rarely I listen to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds but when I do I fall in love with them all over again. Really looking forward to this. Hear a set they done live in Melbourne earlier this year here.

This should round the weekend off with a bang. I haven't seen Mogwai live before for some reason so I'm hoping to be blown away. Here's a set they played in New York earlier this year.

Mogwai : Zidane - A 21st Century Portrait

The football leagues in England may already know their winners but up here in Scotland it's do or die this weekend. It's all to play for in the relegation battle on Saturday but Sunday sees Glasgow's Old Firm rivals fighting it out to see who comes out on top. It may not be the best league in the world in terms of talent but for excitement it will be hard to beat this weekend. My love of music and football comes together brilliantly on this album from Glasgow band Mogwai. The album was recorded as the soundtrack to the documentary film 'Zidane, un portrait du 21e siècle' and was released on PIAS/Wall Of Sound in 1996.
