| For those of you in the UK,checkout teletext page 344 on channel 4. There's a review of their performance at V Festival. They were referred to as 'band of the weekend' at V!! |

I think it's the same review here, if so then:
Band of the weekend, then? Travis.
Relegated to an afternoon slot at the JJB Arena's third stage tent, they could have faded into insignificance.
Instead, they play with the naked passion that's exactly the memorable show to get people talking about them again. It helps the new songs are as fiery as J Smith, but mainly it's down to their defiance prompting singalongs as loud as their headliner days. |

Might have to alter my predictions for the next single - I think maybe top 15 now? |

It was the passion that was naked, I'm afraid they were fully (though very snazzily) attired ;)
Closer got to #10 in the charts, so I think SA should do something similar, if not better :D |

"None more so than from Travis, who could have let their relegation from headliners to playing the third stage in the afternoon be an excuse to sulk.
Instead, they were magnificent, playing the hits with a fire as if their career depended on it alongside three new songs that more than held the casual fans' interest."
Pure gold - and gold always has a value , always shines through and IS the original best. :) |
