Glastonbury

Django Django - Live Stream (2013x19)

Air date: Jun 28, 2013

Don't let your ear catch Django Django for too long on Friday night's Park Stage. The infective rhythm and buzzing synths emanating from the London based quartet will rule your head like a Pilton earworm, winning out over any other tune that passes you by this Glastonbury weekend. The band formed at art school in Edinburgh and found early support from BBC Introducing, who brought messrs Maclean, Neff, Dixon and Grace to Radio 1's Big Weekend in 2010. Their chiseled amalgam of styles and bottomless tool-kit of colourful instruments soon kicked off a wave of critical support, culminating in a largely rapturous reception to Mercury Prize nominated debut Django Django. They've spent the past year, touring as far and wide as Brooklyn, Brisbane and Bournemouth, and will come to Glastonbury confident that they can transfer the success of that record into a major stage festival sound. The BBC album review refers to the band as "indie par excellence", and who could argue with that?
