Glasto Update!

In case some of you dim witted fools haven't noticed, Glastonbury tickets for the first time are being sold now. Well, technically they've been on sale since the first week of October, but I digress.. Anyway, is anyone else excited about next year already?



I know it's the equivalent to getting all giddy about Christmas in April, but still, now that the first act has been confirmed for the annual partay at Worthy Farm my head's already buzzing with images of all night mayhem at Trash City and watching the sun rise at the Stone Circle...



That's how life should be.



Anywho, the very first act to be announced are some indie troupe called Major Major. The Liverpudlian band managed to wing a slot at the prestigious festival after winning the Rockstar Bands' Competition. The band are somewhat familiar with the venue, having played with The Ting Tings and Franz Ferdinand at the Glastonbury party gig for the residents of the town. The group also won a trip to Genesis front man Peter Gabriel's recording studio, the lucky buggers.



Maybe I'm not giving them much credit, but to me they do sound slightly generic for a guitar band. However, there are some definite hooks in the songs guaranteed to make you bop your head and the vocals remind me of a slightly edgier Mystery Jets. Still, by the time you see them play at Glasto, you'll be too drunk/stoned/relaxed/all of the above to care, so enjoy.

EDIT: Actually, I take it back, their track Iberia is rather moreish, maybe I will take a gander at them next year..
