Tonight, to mark the fact that The Duke & The King are playing in Leeds at The Wardrobe tomorrow with Wilful Missing I repeated the session of theirs, first broadcast in Laura’s BCB Sessions back on 12th May. You can also listen to their session again here on Untitled Noise if you so wish.
The Duke And The King at BCB, April 2010
Amid all the excitement of the fact that we were running a competition to give away tickets to the above mentioned gig, and the fact that I was looking forward to The Twilight Sad in session in Laura’s show tonight, I forgot to wax lyrical about the fact that Animal Collective have been announced as curators of the ATP Festival next May. This is absolutely brilliant news. I had in my head 4 potential candidates for curating it, of which they were one. The others, if you are interested, would have been Super Furry Animals, Polly Jean Harvey or Dangermouse.
Although I forgot to mention that in my show, what I didn’t forget, was to play a load of cracking new releases:
