I'm not a critic i just like or don't like some things about music things and talk about them, so here is my opinion.
Day one
Cat's Eyes 'Face In The Crowd' from NTSH London on Vimeo.
Braids
The sound wasn't that excellent but they played convincing enough to make me forget that
Cat's Eyes
didn't come across that well but i liked the record 7
Miami Horror
were a little too glamrock for my liking but energetic fun to watch 5
Trophy Wife
brought good dancey music 7+
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti
I already knew who they were but never bother do get into them.
Maybe now after seeing them live i maybe will because the songs weren't that bad but i just wasn't enjoying it 6.5
Foster the People
saw them in the big screen but the sound didn't come across that good
The View
same good working formula they had four years ago and that's not a bad thing 6+
The Cults - You Know What I Mean from roland q on Vimeo.
Day two
2:54
first thing i thought was they sounded like Blood Red Shoes if Laura May was in another band and never met Steven. Thank gosh Blood Red Shoes do excist but 2:54 has to grow a bit more 6+
Flash Guns
They played the festival last year and i liked the ep that came out that time, now they have a lp coming out and i'm looking forward to listing to it! 7.5
Ra Ra Riot
A band that never really sticked even after listening to 'The Rhumb Line' a few times. Live they came across much better and i was surprised that i enjoyed their performance. 7.5
Dry The River
I heard one song, looked up one perfomance on youtube and i knew i could enjoy this band. I did they were so one point and talked with the audiance.
I'm a fan 8
Cults
Fun but they were a small band playing in the big venue and that made them lost their magic that they have gotten from their internet fame.
'You know what i mean' their new single sounded amazing live, she has a voice on her. 7.
Sparrow and the workshop
You can't like everything and just like 2:54 they need some more time 6-
The Crookes
A perfect band for a festival like this, British? yep Good looking boys? yep! Good album out? Yes all that toghetere with the suns that just went down made their perfomance a happy happening 7.5
Wild Beast
I love them, i love them, i love them they cannot do any wrong. 9+
Yes even though i love them so i am a realist. It's is always possible that their next performance can be worth that 10
Twin Shadow
they way they translated their album to the stage was amazing! the songs sounded different but still familiar. Oh i might fall in love with this band. 8
Dry the River - "Family Tree" from Gary King on Vimeo.
No pictures were made which is a shame but what can you do.
Well i can wait 6 months for the second edition of London Calling Festival and go with a camera i guess!
