Current hyped bands No.3: The White Stripes

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Which is the best album to buy of theirs??

 

And has anyone discovered what their relationship is yet??

[SteveP]

White Blood Cells, a very good Rock 'n' Roll album, I'd give it 7.5 out 10, definately worth a listen. It has a raw basic sound and Jack white making all kinds of noises, but it's not just hype, there is some impressive content.

 

They're Brother and Sister (though being from the deep south they may be more than just that)

 

[R Zimmerman]

The deep south being Chicago?

[SteveP]

I thought they were from the deep south, obviously, chicago is not the deep south, in which case, got that wrong, sorry.

 

Anyway what do you reckon to 'em RZ?

 

[R Zimmerman]

Top band, brilliant live at Glasto and Reading. I've only for Red Blood Cells but it is a brilliant album. Read some where that their next album is called Elephant. Interesting name

[SteveP]

You were at Glasto RZ? Were you there for the Rolfmeister??

 

And well The Stripes are from Detroit, that puts it straight anyway...

[R Zimmerman]

Oh yes, sitting on the hill. Biggest crowd of the weekend I believe.

[R Zimmerman]

Did you get to see Cooper Temple Clause or Idlewild on the other stage, I think they were both on the friday

[SteveP]

Did you see any of the following

 

The crazy japanese orchestra

Robert Plant up at the accoustic tent

Faithless

Roger Waters

Queens of The Stone Age

 

Those are all I can remember at the mo..

[R Zimmerman]

Didn't see they first lot, no. I think Robert Plant was on the same time as someone else I wanted to see, can't remember who, but I'd already seen him at th Isle of Wight Festival earlier this year.

Faithless were on before Coldplay wern't they, they were absolutly brilliant.

Didn't see Roger Waters but did see Queen's of the Stone Age.

 

I tended to see more bands on the other stage than the main stage.

[Chubbhead EFM]

As the Evening Session on Radio 1 is now being taken off air, does this mean the Evening Session tent will no longer be at the Reading festival?

[SteveP]

didn't see either of those, did see idlewild at Coldpay Birmingham and they were pretty good.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Saw the White Stripes at Reading, quality!

Very Good band I must say!

[Chubbhead EFM]

I saw them at Reading too, they are amazing, there's only two of them and yet they make it feel like the whole stage is full. This whole posting thing is really improving my typing!
