Further to my previous answer, I would like to add Porridge Radio and Diet Cig.

Great weekend, despite the weather. Didn't see a bad band at all. Highlights include Happy Accidents, Dream Wife, ONSIND, Anna Burch, Fresh acoustic, Dream Nails. Nice to see a mix of ages there. Very little litter. Drinks and merch all reasonably priced. Could really do with the train timetable pub...

Off the top of my head:

Art Brut (new album out soon apparently!)
The Spook School
Jeffrey Lewis
Slow Club (if they exist any more)
Kimya Dawson
Martha
Courtney Barnett (too big though)
Peaness
Fresh

The organisers do a good enough job so I'm sure I will be happy with whoever plays!

I don't get this Daphne & Celeste thing. So in 2000 they were bottled at Reading because they were essentially a manufactured pop band that appeared randomly on the bill because they asked to. Then they disappeared for 15+ years. And now they are back. Are they more credible? Are they retro? Are the...

ONSIND
The Spook School
Slotface
Diet Cig
Stanley Brinks
Happy Accidents
Fresh
Gavin Osborn
Art Brut (recording a new album apparently).

Hi, A few months ago I wrote a fanzine of my top 10 similes by The Wave Pictures. I've written various other fanzines too which are listed on my online shop (at very cheap prices, I should add!), so if you are interested in reading any just head over to http://backofthegigzines.bigcartel.com to have...

Forgot to mention Jeffrey Lewis in an earlier post.

As for 'bigger' bands, I would like to see Slow Club, Billy Bragg, Kimya Dawson and Mountain Goats.

I forgot to say, would it be possible to get up a small PA or something for the sets in the merch tent? I find it difficult to watch bands when there's so much talking (obviously you can't ask people buying/selling merch to be silent!!).

This was our first year at Indietracks. We have been to lots of festivals over the years which are more local to us, but we decided to travel to Indietracks this year based mainly on the lineup. We had a great time and will certainly return in the future! Likes: Bands - The Wave Pictures, Martha, Th...

Can't wait to see the full schedule this week!

If there is a band clash at the festival then this is the type of thing that would sway me to watch your set over someone else's! What you're *really* saying is "Could the following selection of bands please spend the next week or so selecting [arguing with each other about] songs for a Best Of Spot...

Thanks both! I shall investigate.

Hi, I am going to Indietracks for the first time this year. Looking forward to seeing The Wave Pictures, Martha, The Tuts and Grace Petrie in particular. However, there are a few bands who I'm not so familiar with who have huge back catalogues. Could people suggest the best place to start with the b...
