Just watching their set from Reading now on the iplayer. Fucking great stuff!

 

I thought they were vastly overrated by a few when they first came on the scene, but credit where credit's due, I think Mr. Turner has churned out some top class material recently.

Haven't seen any of Reading, but I was at Leeds, and the Monkeys were one of the bands I was most looking forward to see. I went back on Friday night very disappointed. Don't know what it was, but I wasn't entertained and they didn't even play Mardy Bum (apparently they've stated it's too overplayed now and they'll never do it again).

I didnt enjoy them at all at Leeds, it just seems that Turner has believed his own hype a bit, he seems to think he is some kind of godlike genius.

 

KOL and Radiohead were much more worthy headliners, both big bands that have at least a bit of history (although I dont really get the popularity surrounding the KOL at the moment).

 

Besides Crystal Castles and Fight Like Apes were the highlights of Leeds........

Too many new songs???? They've got a new album out. What were you expecting them to do? It's not a greatest hits tour.

 

 

They could of mixed it up abit and played more off the 1st two albums, if your headlining you play a mix up of all the albums not just a plug for the new one
