Dot to Dot Festival 2009 Line-up Annouced

The first batch of bands for this years Bristol/Nottingham based indie-fest Dot to Dot have been announced today. Quite a mixed bag...

Friendly Fires
Ladyhawke
Annie Mac
Patrick Wolf
Cage The Elephant
Little Boots
AC Newman
Tommy Reilly
Crystal Stilts
The Big Pink
Shapeshifter
The Pains Of Pure Of Heart
Vivian Girls
65 Days Of Static (Nottingham only)
Boys Noize (Nottingham only)
Brodinski (Nottingham only)

As usual the thing is heftily biased towards Nottingham, with the only *real* big name 65DaysofStatic not being booked for a Bristol show. I mean come on CAGE THE ELEPHANT?! AGAIN? On top of this for your money you can dance the night away with a DJ set from Radio 1 no-hoper Annie Mac and lollop around to washed up Lord of Kook Patrick Wolf. Yawn. Got to Field Day instead. In fact, this line-up is so bad I can't even think of a suitable yootube video to end with. A dark day indeed.
