| Desertfest 2014 - Bands Of Interest
Inspired by BigPleb's Sonisphere list, here's a list of 10 bands I plan on seeing at this years Desertfest in London. I fear there will be a number of clashes, though, so this is ordered by interest.
I do expect to see a load of bands I've not heard of though, so perhaps I'll do a proper ranked list after the festival. | | 1 |  | Boris
Heavy Rocks
This was a surprise for many, but expectations are that they will make use of their stoner metal material for the festival. Perhaps not? I don't care - I love Boris and the last time I saw them they blew my mind! | | 2 |  | Kvelertak
Meir
Amazing at Sonisphere last year, so expecting this to be great. | | 3 |  | Church of Misery
Thy Kingdom Scum
Saw them last week supporting Monster Magnet and they destroyed. Feeling pretty darn lucky to be seeing them twice in one year. | | 4 |  | Elder (USA-MA)
Spires Burn/Release
Discovered these guys days before finding out they happened to be playing at Desertfest. Feeling very lucky given how damn amazing this EP is. | | 5 |  | Eagle Twin
The Feather Tipped the Serpent's Scale
Got hooked on this album for a good while. Top notch droning doom metal. | | 6 | | Sixty Watt Shaman
Ultra Electric
They sound rather similar to Kyuss. Perhaps a little less stoned. I've been told they are one to look forward to. | | 7 |  | Weedeater
Jason the Dragon
Not listened to their stuff but heard things about them. Will try to catch them. | | 8 |  | The Ultra Electric Mega Galactic
The Ultra Electric Mega Galactic
Listening to this right now - quality stoner rock, featuring Ed Mundell, previously of Monster Magnet. | | 9 |  | Zodiac
A Hiding Place
Wasn't too keen on this album, didn't seem has hard as their debut, which I like enough to want to see them. | | 10 |  | Anciients
Heart Of Oak
I found the album to be a mixed bag, but they clearly have a lot of potential which is more than enough reason for me to want to see them. | |

02.21.14 | Ha, Sixty Watt Shaman missing but The Ultra Electric Mega Galactic isn't.
Anyway yes, looking forward to this. Anyone else I should check out?(http://www.thedesertfest.com/london/lineup/) | Mad.
04.16.14 | Awesome list, shame no one look at it. I wish I could have gone but I'm on holiday while it's on. Black Rainbows, Monkey3, Samsara Bluex Experiment and The Machine are musts to go see | Dr7
04.17.14 | Cheers Mad, thank for the recs, I can see myself spending most of my time at the Electric Ballroom, but it's good to know there are quality options at the other venues.
Also, silly me, forgot to put Spirit Caravan on the list! |
