Princess Superstar/UNKLE Sound System/Ladytron : Carling Weekend Reading Carling Stage/Dance Stage
Princess Superstar disappoints, UNKLE Sound System is 'quite entertaining' and Ladytron chrm despite their 'glacial cool'
Princess Superstar
She makes us wait! For ages! And then she comes on and applies her weedy voice to a crappy backing track. After all the inspiration we've seen today, it beggars belief this woman has collaborated with Kool Keith.
UNKLE Sound System
Well, once we got there it was quite entertaining. Snaking past the queue of fans who have come to see NFG in the NME signing tent, we see two nondescript blokes mixing records. One of which could be Fischerspooner. There is a lot of dope smoke around...
Ladytron
What is it with bands today? Ladytron are one of a series of bands today to dress in matching uniform - they're all in black. Their 80s, loved by Hoxton trendies glacial pop is actually pretty good - 'Playgirl' is a highlight. But today is a day for smiling.
