Thank you Howard - the Dartington Home Festival looks very interesting, not least of course because of Suzanne Vega.

You're probably more familiar with them than you think as they've been used by both Audi & Honda for various adverts over the past couple of years. The best newish rock band bar none IMHO ;)
Edit; Don't take my word for it, how about Mr. Eno;
“When you see a band you really like, the reason you really like them is because you wish you’d had that idea. And when I saw Battles I thought, “Damn! Why didn’t I think of that?” - Battles fan Brian Eno
P.S. The singer has now departed
...good lad Alex
Whilst I'm here the mighty 'Cinematic Orchestra' are playing this years Mostly/Mosely Jazz festival, always a nice festival...if you're in the Brummie area

I was at The Arches gig. The acoustics did not suit such a hard drumming sound, but otherwise it was excellent. I get all my concert notifications through a brilliant site Songkick
http://www.songkick.com/
where you register, track bands and get e-mails if the bands announce tours.
