Kasabian tonight, anyone a fan? I've seen them twice and they are a great live band. 'Eez-eh' the first release from their new album is terrible but 'Bumblebee' is a banger. One of their best to date. They're real crowd pleasers and with five decent albums under their belt I think they will top AM last year.
for all those new to the amayzingggg arctic firebreathers from montreal, and to all those who were on them early, do check out "the first time with win butler" on radio 6 this week - he is soooo great, talking about their punk ethos, (yes, yes, they are a big band, but i sense true to their roots), name checking the unicorns, the cure's majesty, early genesis, the wondrous pop shimmer that is new order, and especially dear to my heart, he speaks with passion and joy re the astonishing country, people, music, total vibe that is ayiti!!!! (thats the way they pronounce and spell it in the countryside) - he's married to regina from the island - me n the luvlucy have just returned from living in a vegan permaculture community in ayiti - everyone, go and soak haiti/ayiti up, as win butler says, one of the last magical places left on this increasingly homogenized planet.

but the one that has just finished was an absolute belter
That is one rascal jacket Bryan is sporting tonight innit! Forget sometimes what a great back catalogue he has to call on too.
Incredible musicianship between the four of them.
She was doing a cracking Keith Harris impression if she wasn't miming!
Seems like most of the bands playing seem to be B-listers.
