Who's top of your list of bands/acts not yet seen live but desperate to?

[Mellotron]

Finally ticked QOTSA and Arcade Fire off my list this summer, whilst seeing other bands (Interpol & Mew) for the 6th and 4th times respectively.

Now top of my list are:

iamamiwhoami
M83
Baths
Junior Boys
Moderat
F*** Buttons
Douglas Dare
Washed Out
Tycho
How To Dress Well
Future Islands - missed them at The Great Escape

I'd welcome reviews (good or bad) on any of the above, if any have seen them.

 

[Trufflehound]

Seen F**k Buttons x3: 2008, 2010, 2013. Always good, but in my mind they just keep getting better and better each time.

 

[GT49er]

Sadly, The Beatles, The Small Faces and Lyrnyrd Skyrnrd. No chance now!

 

[Trufflehound]

Ironically, given that I already know Mellotron's views on them, the band top of my list that I've always managed to miss and who are still doing the rounds, is Interpol.

 

[catfish]

Buddy Guy and ZZ Top are the two I really want to see.

I will admit that you've probably missed them at their best, but still worth a go if you like the music. Carlos had INSANE stage presence.

Glad to hear re: F*** Buttons.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Chvrches

 

[Mellotron]

Ones I've probably missed out on and am gutted to have:

Kraftwerk
David Bowie
Pink Floyd (ACTUAL Pink Floyd, i.e. with Roger Waters)

 

[Bladders]

I've genuinely never heard of a single band in the OP's list

It was so much easier keeping up when Top of the Pops was on every week.

 

[Mellotron]

Chvrches

Saw at Reading in the big tent. Absolutely superb. Highly recommended, the atmosphere was great in there.

They're mostly dark electronic music, apologies.

Sleaford mods, but havnt got long to wait now

For sure. Saw that Chvrches set on telly (just after Royal Blood) when I got back from the Albion the other week (assuming its the same set). Tether was gobsmackingly gorgeous They seem to be plugged into some eternal US/Asia tour at the moment but hopefully will be back to see us sometime soon. Hard-working kiddies!

 

[Spun Cuppa]

The Horrors

Had a ticket for their Worthing show last Friday, but as I only got to bed at 2.30am after seeing The Besnard Lakes in London the previous evening, and making the mistake of having a pre-gig early evening 'nap' that lasted to about ten pm, it means they as yet still remain unseen

 

[Grombleton]

Elbow
Arcade Fire
QOTSA (I've seen every offshoot band apart from the main)
Elliott Smith (Unlikely to happen)

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Arcade Fire

 

[Bold Seagull]

Foo Fighters, but unlikely to ever play down here….

To be fair, I think I've heard of Arcade Fire - just the name though, that's all!
