    Rockness Festival - The DiS review

    50125

    I've been hearing people talking up Rockness as better than T In The Park. One cursory look at the line-ups for both festivals will tell you this isn't true, at least in the quantity and sheer size of artists playing, but what Rockness can boast is an atmosphere to m... »

    Ornette Coleman's Meltdown: the DiS review

    50120

    Using a combination of lies, subterfuge, occasional guestlist and frequently our own money, DiS has spent the last week fluttering about London excitedly soaking up the once in a lifetime thrills of Ornette Coleman's Meltdown festival at the Southbank Centre. We stil... »

    Guitar Hero Fail: DiS meets J Mascis

    50116

    This month sees the release Farm by Dinosaur Jr, and we tracked down the band's infamously laconic frontman and general indie rock deity J Mascis to a west London hotel lobby in an attempt to ask some questions that might garner more than a ... »

    This Week's Singles: 22/06/2009

    50059

    This week we are transmitting not-quite-live from North Norfolk, where across the plains of the caravan park I can hear the strains of Fleetwood Mac trying to make themselves heard through a tinny radio. I have also been fortunate enough to catch a very spirited rend... »

    From The Basement On A Television: DiS talks to Nigel Godrich

    50010

    You've probably heard of Nigel Godrich. He's been recording bands in studios for a number of years (his C.V., of course, includes Radiohead, Air, Beck, Paul McCartney, Pavement and R.E.M.), but you might not be so familiar with his "hobby", ... »

    Glastonbury 2009: DiS briefly shuts up, bands have their say

    49980

    As you're doubtless getting bored/angry with the reams of subjective blather DiS has been throwing up over the UK's flagship festival, our mini Glastonbury preview week today hands the metaphorical mic to a selection of people who, er, know how to use a real one. All... »

    This Week's Singles: 15/06/2009

    49720

    This week I am choosing to ignore obvious comparisons with prior hits, building a Tech House from double dutch and am introduced to some cats who can do harmonies a tiny bit like James Mercer. For sure it is a mixed bag, but one which hopefully offers a sweet treat f... »

    Black Hole Fun: DiS speaks to Friendly Fires ahead of Pitch Black

    It may not seem like the most sensible way to play to 200 people, but Friendly Fires are performing a show on Monday in complete darkness. Too many questions arise from this. Is there a risk of a g... »

    This Week's Singles: 08/06/2009

    This week we are heavy on strummers and very thin on massively hyped dancetypethings. This is good, because I have managed to locate a favourite new band from under a rock in Oxford. And they are very, very clever indeed. »

    The circle unbroken: a guide to the works of Loop

    "I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over'. Wise words from Hal the murderously monotone super-computer at the heart of Stanley Kubrick's 1968 sci-fi masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey. These words bookend s... »

    DiScuss: Is this News? - Yours Truly, Indie Mob

    49416

    So here is the DiScussion: should the indie online press – who I’d imagine to a person consider themselves morally above the gossip pages, tabloid rags and freesheets that cover equivalent events to the Wavves meltdown in the ‘real world’ – feel any sort of respo... »

    We really have been spoilt for choice in May. I know, we (I) may have expressed very similar sentiments back for this same feature in April but that was over-enthusiasm at a decent-ish month for music. This month, however, has genuinely been filled with fant... »

    DiSection: Grizzly Bear Veckatimest track-by-track

    49177

    As we near the end of Grizzly Bear week we asked the band to take part in our regular DiSection feature. The idea is a little like a director's commentary you get on a DVD, where we ask a band to dissect their new album, track by track. »
