Now then who fancies winning a pair of tickets to Constellations Festival on the 12th November? Held at the University of Leeds on the 12th November. All you have to do to win is answer the question below and we’ll pick based on how good your answer is. Normal T’s&C’s apply. Closing date 9th November.
Q: We’ve had some amazing bands play Constellations over the last two years but if you could create one SUPER-band from musicians that have graced the stages of Constellations who would you choose?
We’ll get the ball rolling with Tim Harrington (Les Savy Fav) on vocals, Derek E. Miller (Sleigh Bells/Poison The Well) on guitar, Lisa Lobsinger (Broken Social Scene) on Keys and BV’s and Johnny Rogoff (Yuck) on drums and hair. Awesome.
I’d have a massive band combining the vision of a Chickenhawk, the laidbackness of a Gold Panda, the majesty of Eagulls, the energy of Trapped Tigers, the grace of a Stalking Horse and the, erm, wriggliness of Hookworms. And I’d call it Wild Beasts. Thank you.
Hayden Thorpe (vocals, guitar, bass, keys) – Wild Beasts
Ben Little (guitar, keys) – Wild Beats
Tom Fleming (bass, vocals, guitar, keys)- Wildebeests
Chris Talbot (drums, vocals) – erm can you see where I’m going with this?
Justin Peroff from Broken Social Scene on drums, Ben Little from Wild Beasts and Stephen Malkmus on guitars, Angus from Liars on scary bass, Four Tet in charge of atmosphere/mixing/trippiness, Tom from Wild Beasts on keys, Raphaelle from Braids for lead vocals, and ALL of Local Natives for harmonic choral backing vocals.
