Here is the line up if your interested.

Yup!

Im heading down saturday morning, and am going to stay till monday. Its not that big, it would be easy to organise a meet somewhere

Oh, one more thing. Big up MC lars!!

by **rymalco** » 21 Jul 2006, 09:16

MC LARS is mental! haha

I change my first post.

Big up DJ Marky!!

by **rymalco** » 24 Jul 2006, 08:11

Marky's set was shit hot. It was good that he came back this year and actually got there on time to do a proper set.

Proper mashed up I was.

Who elso did you catch? Didi you see a band called Katchafire at the "Acoustic"/Market tent?

by **The Wiggle Baron** » 24 Jul 2006, 12:53

Nope...

Truck really isnt my genre of music (my absoloute contempt for distorted guitars does put a downer on probably 75% of the acts

) so i didnt actually see all that much, people who i saw and thought were good were...

The whole of depth charge (although i dont know what the hell they thought they were doing at the beginning. fair play increase the volume through the night, its a common tactic. but dont begin the night with drum and bass being played so quiet you can easily hold a conversation infront of the speaker stack.)

Nervous_Testpilot <-- the closest to glade i got! An hour of techno, followed by proper balls to the wall 190 bpm hardcore and mash up.

65daysofstatic - 4th time ive seen them live, first time they have ever been passable as good. Again its a pity about the guitars, but if you grit your teeth and bear it, there is some quite hard hitting basslines in there somewhere.

MC Lars - Comedy gold. As always. ("I said who's that? Who's that? Who's that knocking on my chamber door?")

Buck65 - Such an entertaining act, nice simple beats, nice voice (as they go) and some badass c-c-c-cutting and scratching. Oh, and his stories between songs, comedy genius. "I once knew this kid, he was born with a full head of teeth. And sometime near his 1st birthday, he uttered his first word. And his first word was "SHOWTIME!"

Whoever it was playing in the trailer park stage for the 30 mins i took as a time out from depth charge. Nice bit of breakbeat and funky/tech electro/house. (He played "yeah yeah" by Bodyrox! \0/)

I just thought, i didnt actually go past the trailer park stage this year. No main stage for me!

by **rymalco** » 24 Jul 2006, 13:04

"If it weren't for Truckers we wouldn't have anything" or something like that comedy line from Buck 65 made me smile

Yeah caught a whole load of other acts, missed Nervous_Testpilot...shame as it sounded like a good time.

What you think of Total Science...wasn't that impressed.

The breakbeat was mostly the Fresh Out The Box boys. They do the big breakbeat nights at the Cellar and Zodiac. You should go along to one if you haven't before!

Main stage was wank. Apart from some live dub Sunday lunchtime. Sorted my head out.

All that indie being played is tediously shite I agree. Went up to the Main Stage a couple of times to check it out. Didn't appreciate any of it to TBH.

Doesn't compare with Glade at all. Kept wishing i could re-wind back to the week-end before... :roll:

...Still its a good laugh and met a few old lost friends.

by **rymalco** » 24 Jul 2006, 13:09

Katchfire a this awsome Kiwi reggae band. Check them out. They are such cool dudes...

by **The Wiggle Baron** » 26 Jul 2006, 17:52

Did you say there are regular breakbeat nights in Oxford?!!

WHAT THE FREAKING HELL DAMN AM I DOING STILL TYPING?!! I SHOULD BE RESEARCHING DAMMIT!

by **BarryDark** » 27 Jul 2006, 13:31

by **Efflux-J** » 27 Jul 2006, 13:44

Haha-yes I did! Slightly puzzled by it to be honest. You got a crowd forming outside that shed at times! Some square/barn dancing down by the picnic table as well...

Enjoy the pill head crowd after the barn finished?

Yep- came unto its own! The shed's off to the big chill next. Got some proper big name act playing there (apparently!)

by **The Wiggle Baron** » 28 Jul 2006, 10:16

Ill come and say hi!

(btw, you'll have stiff competition at the big chill from the "village disco". Same kind of thing as you guys, but its all run off of something that resembles a wheelbarrow...)
