Latitude Festival 2008 Uncut Arena Line up

The Mars Volta

Alternative rock-laden six-piece featuring former members of At The Drive In. With heavy punk, jazz and Latin influences, The Mars Volta's sound is consistently unpredictable and constantly mind-blowing. 'What distinguishes most of the best rock bands from the ordinary ones is fearlessness, and the Mars Volta have no shortage of that.' – Rolling Stone.

Tindersticks

Stuart Staples and the kings of melancholy play haunting ballads of heartbreak, sentimentality and long nights alone drinking whiskey. Beautiful.

Blondie

Blondie formed in 1974 and had a string of hits through the 70s and 80s as the instigators of the New York side of the new wave punk scene. Debbie Harry went on to pursue a successful solo career, with the hit 'I Want That Man' in 1989, and the band reformed in 1999, having No. 1 single success with 'Maria'.

Martha Wainwright

Daughter of musical legends Kate McGarrigle and Loudon Wainwright III, as well as the sister of Rufus Wainwright, Martha is now a highly regarded musician in her own right. This is due to the strength of her material, which is a fascinating mix of folk, rock, pop and more, all sung with her dramatic and extremely versatile voice.

The Coral

With an original mixture of ska, pop, punk and blues, all tied up with insanely catchy melodies, The Coral are one of the most exciting bands to come out of Liverpool in years. Their eponymously titled first album gained widespread critical and popular acclaim, and many thought them unlucky not to receive a Mercury prize nomination. Future releases should set that oversight to rights.

Julian Cope

Former eighties new romantic hero with Liverpool bedsit favourites Teardrop Explodes and all-round eccentric Englishman performing in his own eclectic way.

Howling Bells

Lurching from blues-fuelled rock to country folk lamentations, Howling Bells produce a sound drenched in warm feedback and dried in the desert sun. Drawing inevitable comparisons to the likes of PJ Harvey, vocalist Juanita Stein's delivery is silky, sultry and utterly intoxicating.

guiLLeMoTs

Epic, tuneful music, as bizarre as it is beautiful, guiLLeMoTs take the audience on a journey through a melting pot of synth, strings and jazz breaks with an overlying melody that breaks your heart and rouses, all at the same time. As odd as the Flaming Lips, but as sweet as Elbow, guiLLeMoTs are quirky, experimental and vastly entertaining to watch.

Black Kids

Flamboyant retro-pop from the Florida-based Black Kids. Mixing the sound of The Cure with grand electro rhythms and disco beats, the Black Kids are one of the most energetic and original bands to come out of the electro-pop generation.

Wild Beasts

Four piece pop group, Wild Beasts are a mix of many different styles with songs that sound as different from each other as possible, with some almost operatic style vocals. They dare to be different, not wanting to be pigeon holed or conform to any norms, which is reflected in their unusual choice of musical arrangements, vocal styles and lyrics.

The ever-changing sound of Gravenhurst is currently inspiring musicians and fans across the country with beautiful guitars, soulful vocals and haunting lyrics of murder and corruption.
