Anyone check out Lets eat Grandma? Few good tunes.

Let's eat Grandma - BELIEVE

Several good tunes I suggest. I think they might be my No. 1 band to see at the festival.

This song is f&%kin' amazing for kids their age.

Let's pack whatever tent they're in out for them people

I actually remember seeing them last year now... Lead singer wore one of those denim jackets with the wooly collar??
And the singer from the academic joined them for a song....

Great singer if a bit earnest..

Nice one thanks both for the tip... like Hanson vs the Polyphonic spree whilst on acid, with influences from hot chip vs the war on drugs

Must check a few more of their tunes.

This question has probably been answered but all this talk of early entry has me intrigued! Is there a cut off point of when you can enter the campsite/ arena on the Friday night?

Wont be able to leave work until around 8:30pm on the Thursday so id say I would arrive around 10pm? Staying in the pink moon so wouldnt need to pitch a tent, would it be worth going down?

Will I get in, will there be much on after 11pm?

I have a pair of Hi-Tech hiking boots that I used over the last 4 picnic (on top of hikes and general use around the house). Still in good nik.

Last year though, with the hard ground, my feet were pretty sore over the weekend. I got a set of cushion insoles that helped, but thinking of looking for a walking/hiking shoe with a bit more comfort. I wouldn't have long to break them in, so might not be a great idea, but could anyone recommend anything? I see that lidl have Crivit ones in this week, not sure how good they are

Have a look out for Puma RS-X or you can find Thunder Spectra's on sale now for less than half price. Not a hiking boot but big chunky sneakers a bit like the 90's Acupuncture ones, most comfortable shoes i've had in a long time, you feet will love you. Well able for all terrain.

TK Maxx can be great for stuff like that. But it's very hit and miss.

Jonathon healy on Newstalk just said that the new announcements for EP sounds like something youd see off an early "Now thats what id call music" album....

i havent see anything on line yet... so did he let something slip??

That's probably a reference to Bonnie Tyler yesterday, probably announce a few more for the throwback stage.

maybe, i kinda had to take a bit of a double-take when he said it.. he was talking to that Hotpress journalist that Pat Kenny has on.. and it sounded like he was referring to more than one act

2 things that make my eyes roll so far back in my head;

1) anybody singing along with an Ace of Base song
2) people losing their sh1t to Maniac 2000

Didn't Mark McCabe play in the Throwback Stage 3 years ago?
