More acts announced
!!! (Chk Chk Chk), Crazy P, Willy Mason, Trojan Sound System, The Nextmen feat MC Wrec, Greg Wilson and more join Fat Freddy’s Drop, Death in Vegas and Beardyman for Standon Calling 2012.
One of California’s finest dance-punk exports, !!! (Chk Chk Chk), are returning to these shores for their only UK festival appearance of the summer to play Standon Calling! Their live shows are about freedom of expression, no-nonsense unadulterated punk and pure escapism.
Meanwhile, Crazy P brings one of the UK’s best dance music shows to the stage, a showcase punctuated with brilliant pop, eclectic disco and soulful rhythm funk that’s sure to get Standon moving. Then there’s electro-funk enthusiast Greg Wilson, a true DJs’ DJ, who’ll close the festival on Sunday, plus Colleen ‘Cosmodelica’ Murphy, an eclectic and experimental DJ and producer.
Willy Mason has promised us an extra-special performance, while competing in an unofficial ‘party-off’ will be some of the world’s best reggae party-makers in Trojan Sound System against The Nextmen feat. MC Wrec. Expect anything from dancehall, drum ‘n’ bass and dubstep to reggae, roots, UK funky, indie and leftfield. And expect it to go off.
Bristol-based Turbowolf venture into psych-rock; London-based reggae and dub upstarts The Skints offer an all-singing, all-dancing punky-reggae party and lo-fi London duo BIGkids promise samples, saxophones and singalongs. Plus there’s low-tempo electronic house music from Figures, seven-piece soundscapes from Revere, folker Beans on Toast, Belakiss, who’ve recently supported Kasabian, Golden Fable and slick rock ‘n’ rollers The Fabulous Penetrators.
