Killed!
Eyes Peeled! Surprise, surprise. Who would it be?
Ready... for the set... and go!
This was no mere floral tribute. Flowers on stage though for the entire performance. The crowd sang every word of every song. The noisiest of the weekend, reports said.
They didn't live down to their name. Their weapons weren't firearms, knives or garrotes, although there were strings attached.
The language as clean cut as Flowers. Lyrics you could almost sing to your granny. You wouldn't mention their name though, lest she called the cops.
Finally, looking on the bright side, the audience loved them to death.

I liked the Killers' first album but never went beyond that. I got a bit "modern day band" friendly after I got into Franz Ferdinand back in '04. Then I started listening to the aforementioned Killers and the Fratellis and Jet and Wolfmother. The only one that still gets played around my cave is Franz Ferdinand, though.

Great coverage of the festival, Neville. You're becoming quite the rock journalist!

Thanks, Christopher. I love The Killers, Kings of Leon and the Foos from across the pond and Wolfmother from Oz. Frank Ferdinand never did it for me though. Re the festival coverage, I tend to write up the people I like, so there may be more as I 'catch up' on the BBC, whose coverage of Glastonbury is epic. I've yet to watch quite a few. Clean Bandit are interesting, so maybe they'll be first on the list...

I'll check them out. In the last year or two I've gotten into the retro "doom" metal bands, the ones that are playing what Sabbath played forty+ years ago and think they're doing something unique! Electric Citizen, Mount Salem, Blues Pills, and Ruby the Hatchet to name but a bunch. If you like Wolfmother you might like some of those bands.
