Yet more bands announced for this years T in the Park

by
A huge hit in his native Canada thanks to the success of his previous two full length albums – 2005’s “Sometimes” and 2008’s “Bring Me Your Love”, Dallas Green AKA City and Colour is set to propel his profile to a new plateau with the June 2011 release of his third album, “Little Hell” and a stand out set at T in the Park.
 
The news that The Saw Doctors are returning to T in the Park for the sixth time is sure to be music to the ears of their legions of adoring fans.  It was 1990 when the Irish heroes had their first number one single “I Useta Lover” and over two decades later they are still going strong. Loved for being a band of the people with countless songs full of catchy choruses, the fields of Balado will be bouncing when this Irish brood take to the stage.
 
Glasgow boys Kassidy have been breaking the mould of traditional rock ‘n’ roll with debut album “Hope St” wowing critics and fans alike.  Having previously performed on the T Break Stage, the four-piece band are no strangers to T in the Park and are welcomed back to wow the crowds once more.
 
With Clare Maguire it’s all about the voice. A big, blues belter of a voice, a voice that’s lived a little, that knows things that hint huskily of hidden mysteries.  Snapped up by Universal Music at the age of just 20 when they heard that soaring powerhouse of a vocal, she’s been writing and recording ever since and in 2011 has exploded into the mainstream with debut album “Light After Dark”.
 
Metronomy know exactly how to work the T in the Park crowd and are back for a third year, this time treating fans to material from their new album “The English Riviera”.  But anyone expecting more of the same digital melancholia as heard on the universally-lauded “Nights Out” is in for a shock – “The English Riviera” is a belting, unashamed pop album, a gorgeous record full of languid, sunset funk songs even more danceable than those that have gone before, get ready to boogie at Balado!
 
Tame Impala make psychedelic hypno-groove melodic rock and in their own words their sound is “as equally informed by The Beatles as it is by beat poetry.” With a highly original set in store, bursting with songs filled with their distinctive dream-like melodies, Tame Impala are sure to take the T in the Park crowd to a totally tranquil place this summer.
 
British electro pop giants Fenech-Soler are being championed as the ‘ones to watch’ this year.   Single “Stop and Stare” brought a little bit of the Balaerics to the UK and the band’s latest effort “Demons” has dropped just in time for summer, bringing a dark mix of dancey beats to the pop charts.  The band is firmly at the top of the nu rave pile and is sure to put on a show to remember when they make their debut appearance at T in the Park.
 
Kimberly Wyatt, former member of multi-platinum selling girl group Pussycat Dolls has partnered up with producer Spencey Nezey for new project Her Majesty and The Wolves. Teaser track “Glaciers” made major waves online last year along with its dubstep remix that garnered exceptional underground support. New single “Goodbye/Goodnight” mixed by The Wideboys, provides an excellent window into what fans can expect to hear at T in the Park this summer.
 
Irish outfit Fight Like Apes are famous for their mischievous high jinx during their live sets.  They’ve toured with The Ting Tings, The Prodigy and Kasabian and recently released second album “The body of Christ and the legs of Tina Turner” which was nominated for the Choice Music Prize. 
 
The magical story that is Grouplove began on the island of Crete where five creative souls came together with a vision of making beautiful music for the world.  The band have been dubbed as one of the coolest new bands around and if single title “Get Giddy” is anything to by, they’re set to deliver a euphoric set when they come to Scotland.
 
Seattle based band The Head and the Heart write and play songs that speak to the newness of a fresh start, of ghosts left behind, of moving forward, brimming with a soulfulness and hope that reaches out to everyone.  The band’s self-titled first album was released last summer with catchy piano melodies and a tight trio of harmonies, solid minimalist drums, grooving bass, and plenty of hand percussion and foot stomps that will tempt the T in the Park crowd to do the same.
 
In 2010 Evaline recorded their first full length album “Woven Material” and refined their highly energetic live show before unveiling it to the masses.   T in the Parkers will get a taste of Evaline’s passionate, intense alt-rock this summer.
 
Uber cool London lad Wolf Gang has been making Bowie inspired music since 2009 and working on producing the perfect debut album “Suego Faults”, due for release in June.  Recent single “Dancing With the Devil” made iTunes’ single of the week and he has successfully won over some of the biggest music critics in the business.  His fanbase is set to soar some more following his highly anticipated performance at
 T in the Park this summer.
 
A limited number of T in the Park Residence packages are still available to buy. The Residence offers festival goers a bespoke, luxury experience where all their accommodation needs are taken care of. Guests are welcomed into an oasis of indulgence to enjoy a unique festival experience in their luxury accommodation of choice.

Wonderland complete the lineup for this years Magic Summer Live

by
he highly anticipated Magic Summer Live in association with BT, today completes its spectacular line up with the female five-piece Wonderland.

 Wonderland said: “Magic have always been so supportive of us and we can’t wait to be a part of this event. It’s also an honour to be sharing a stage with Sir Elton John – who is an inspiration of all of ours”.

The Flaming Lips, British Sea Power to perform at the first ever Live from Jodrell Bank.

by

Set 20 miles south of Manchester in the Cheshire landscape, Live from Jodrell Bank is arguably the UK’s most diverse and imaginative setting for a live music event. Throughout the day visitors will take part in experiments and workshops delving into the undiscovered and the obscure; exploring space research and examining the stars; whilst having free access to the newly, redeveloped and magnificent visitor centre. As night falls, the site will be transformed into a musical fervour with this mind-blowing and totally unique show.

 
Saturday’s Transmission 001 features The Flaming Lips who will bring their space-influenced alternative and ground-breaking rock music to the site. Hailing from Oklahoma City and founded by the eclectic Wayne Coyne, the band have been named as one of the 50 Bands to See Before You Die (Q Magazine). Famed for their elaborate live shows featuring costumes, balloons, puppets, video projections, complex stage light configurations, giant hands and frontman Wayne Coynes’ signature man-sized bubble, The Flaming Lips are the perfect partner to the backdrop of the third largest steerable radio telescope in the world.

Adding to the eccentricity, British Sea Power bring to the table a promise of intensity and the spectacular with a live performance of their epic rock music. No stranger to astronomy with their Lights Out track created in support of the Dark Skies campaign, the performance is set to ricochet across the entire telescope site. BSP are no strangers to performing in weird and wonderful venues. Whether in a tiny pub in Sussex, the Jersey Opera House, the National History Museum or a church up in the Arctic Circle, Jodrell Bank will certainly add to their impressive catalogue of locations. They even recently embarked on a boat on the River Thames to perform and support the British Wave Power campaign.

Chicago based OK Go are renowned for their infectious songs, inventive videos, surprising live shows and forward-thinking back-end, making them arguably the world’s most bleeding edge independent outfit. Expect the unexpected given the show stopping performances the band are fast becoming famous for.

With diverse influences from Janis Joplin to Alicia Keys, Alice Gold makes the kind of blues tinged indie pop that is infectiously foot tapping. Working with producer Dan Carey, a man whose produce credits include La Roux, Franz Ferdinand, Lily Allen and Kylie, Gold’s debut album, Seven Rainbows is destined to a smash.

The giant Lovell Telescope, playing host to Live from Jodrell Bank, has been quietly probing the depths of space since 1957 being the largest and most powerful radio telescope in the world when it was built. This combined with the fervour of The Flaming Lips, the charm of British Sea Power and the unlimited possibilities from OK Go, Transmission 001 is set to place Jodrell Bank firmly on the map as arguably the most unique and spectacular live show in the UK in 2011.

Kendal Calling co-promoter Andy Smith comments, “We’re a big fan of the unusual and the unique and by combining the incredible venue of Jodrell Bank and an amazing live performance by The Flaming Lips, this is going to undoubtedly be one of their most memorable shows. British Sea Power and OKGO are the perfect accompaniment ­atmospheric and thrilling performances in equal measure. Roll on July!”

by

UK Chart success, Nero, completes the current line up for Summer Break, bringing the hugely successful dubstep tunes to the Newquay beach. With more acts to be announced this 96 hour party is the only beach to be on this festival season.

Chris Cunningham to close The Big Chill 2011

by

chris cunninghamA special and rare appearance by the award-wining visionary Chris Cunningham is today confirmed for The Big Chill 2011. Cult film-maker, musician, photographer and producer Chris Cunningham is responsible for some of the most iconic music videos ever made, amongst a myriad of other accomplishments. He has been dubbed ‘Dangerously ahead of his time’ by The Guardian and ‘A startlingly original visual artist’ by The Telegraph. On the back of a sold out show at the Royal Festival Hall in May last year and recent collaborations with Gil Scott-Heron and Grace Jones, Cunningham returns to the stage this summer. He will be closing the Deer Park Stage on Sunday, following the set by headliners Rodrigo y Gabriela. Cunningham will create a sight and sound spectacular, bringing The Big Chill to a close in true style.

Bringing a slice of Americana to Herefordshire this summer will be North Mississippi Allstars Duo as they perform their Grammy Award-nominated Southern blues atop the Deer Park Stage on Sunday. Briefly appearing as Carson Daly’s house band on TV in the USA, North Mississippi Allstars Duo have also recently supported Robert Plant and The Band of Joy, who also appear at The Big Chill this year.

With their second album The Body of Christ and The Legs of Tina Turner nominated in the Choice Music Prize for Best Album of the Year back on home turf in Ireland, Fight Like Apes are flying high. Having supported the likes of stadium noise-masters The Prodigy, Fight Like Apes are more than equipped to take to The Revellers’ stage on Friday. Recently dubbed by NME as ‘the rowdiest live band in the world’ anyone needing a wake-up call from the laid back atmosphere of The Big Chill need look no further.

Manning the highly respected dubstep label DMZ and club night of the same name, duo Digital Mystikz will appear on The People’s Ear Stage on Friday. Garnering support from the likes of the late John Peel and Annie Nightingale as well as many of their peers, the pair otherwise known as Mala and Coki are considered central to the dupstep scene. Added to The People’s Ear Stage on Sunday is Bristolian Julio Bashmore. The house music-loving DJ, influenced by his hometown’s obsession for all things low frequency, steps up to the decks to prove why the highly influential Claude Von Stroke signed Bashmore up to his Dirtybird label.

The imaginatively named London based dupstep duo Stinkahbell hit up the decks at Starburst on Friday. Expect galactic sounding samples and deep buzzing bass. Usually found playing bass with chart-topping NYC indie darlings, Vampire Weekend, Baio appears at The Big Chill this summer at Starburst on Sunday in his DJ guise. Baio – Vampire Weekend DJ set promises an eclectic mix echoing his passion for dance music peppered with indie, nu-wave and afrobeat. Combining the talents of six London and Watford-based producers and DJs, True Tiger have between them released, produced and remixed tracks by artists including Professor Green, Enter Shikari, Taio Cruz, Skepta and many other big names from the pop and urban music worlds. For their set on Sunday at Starburst, True Tiger, in their live form, will meld together grime with hip-hop, house and more. Formerly DJ Clipz, infamous in the d‘n’b scene, the restyled DJ and producer Redlight is up next showcasing his new unique take on garage, breaks and dubstep. Lastly for Starburst’s Sunday offerings is DJ Distance, an originator from the South London homeland of dubstep, Distance brings to the table his own progressive and experimental take on the genre.

T Break Stage lines up 16 of Scotland’s hottest acts for T in the Park

by
The T Break judging panel, made up of 13 the most highly respected music industry professionals in the country, have been busy pouring over more than 1,000 demos of the freshest unsigned artists in Scotland since the call for entries closed on 11th April.  Demos came in from all corners of the nation and with genres ranging from Raggle Taggle to Dark Wave, the judges undoubtedly had the hardest task of T Break’s 15 year history.    
 
The following 16 acts have been chosen by the judges to rock the T Break Stage this summer, joining a knock out T in the Park bill which includes Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, Foo Fighters, The Strokes, Beyoncé, Pulp, The Script, Plan B, Slash, Tinie Tempah, Tom Jones, Jessie J and many more.

Let the countdown to T in the Park commence!
 
George Kyle, Head of Sponsorship at Tennent’s Lager says: “The competition this year has been outstanding and really reflects what’s going on in Scotland’s grassroots music scene.  Yet again we’re so proud to be supporting these new artists by giving them such a great platform to perform and boost their music careers, sharing a bill with some of the best homegrown and international headliners on the planet.” 
 
Dave McGeachan at DF Concerts says: “The final line up is looking fantastic, with a great musical variety and lots of different genres.  These 16 acts represent the most exciting new Scottish music around and I can’t wait to see them take to the stage at T in the Park”.  
 
Jim Gellatly, presenter of In:Demand Uncut said: “Again a very high quality of entry, which made the task of selecting a final 16 all the more difficult. There are a bunch of acts that didn’t even make the final cut that I’ll be following up for future airplay on In:Demand Uncut. Yet again T Break has shown the incredible wealth of new talent our country has to offer.”
