Leftfield are back!

Post by memly »

"Electronic pioneering duo Leftfield return after a decade to this summer's Rock Ness.

Rock Ness have announced that dance duo Leftfield will return for the first time since their self imposed four year hiatus with a live exclusive performance at the festival staged on the shores of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands.

The duo of electronica artists and record producers, Paul Daley (formerly of A Man Called Adam and the Brand New Heavies) and Neil Barnes, formed in 1989 and had a memorable seminal performance at Glastonbury Festival in 2000 with 'Song For Life' and 'Storm 3000' from their debut album, 'Leftism' which became one of the highlights of the festival. The band were one of the leaders of electronica and hopefully will be allowed to play 'phat' at this summer's festival. Festival Director Jim King seems to be hinting at a loud festival performance at Rock Ness.

Jim King said: "We're been trying to get Leftfield to do some shows for years and now its actually going to happen. Ask any electronic bands who was an inspiration for them and Leftfield will always be listed. I was fortunate to see them live over 10 years ago and if you think the Prodigy are loud then you won't know what hit you when Leftfield kick in. The Band just have everything in the locker from the pounding bass lines of 'Phat Planet' to the pioneering and visionary beauty of 'Melt'. Get on line now and reconnect with the band that unquestionably defined the music of a whole generation."

Taken from [edit] link is dead, but I promise its true!!

Rock frickin ness.... could they not find anywhere in the UK any more further away from Bournemouth!

I love the albums but every time I've seen them live they have left me a little disappointed. Their gigs never had the continuity I wanted.

I expect they will play the Leccy Piccy.

Inverness isnt at the end of the planet FFS! And they do have electricity up there...

I agree though with whoever said they are a bit disappointing live. I saw them twice and they definately didnt get their set right. Far too many dull moments in what should be a dance machine of a gig
