Rockfeedback TV Series 2 hits MTV2 this Thurs (17/7), repeats Sun
By: Toby L
After a hell of a run on Channel 4 recently, the great and the good viewers of MTV2 get the chance to be treated to our own special brand of irreverent documentary genius. Yep - Rockfeedback Presents... Series 2 starts a run on MTV2 at 9.30pm tomorrow night and every Thursday for the next few weeks, repeated on Sunday nights at 11pm also.
Coming up later in the series are the likes of The Stooges, Vampire Weekend, and MIA, but - 'til then - why not feast your eyes and ears on a hark-back to last summer's palpably wonderful, unifying Underage Festival...?
Featuring an audience exclusively comprised of attendees between the ages of 14 and 19, an equally ebullient line-up boasts musical innovators as diverse as Kitty Daisy & Lewis and Crystal Castles, through to Pigeon Detectives, Mystery Jets and Lethal Bizzle. It's a wonderful gallivant which also takes in insights from folk troubadour Johnny Flynn through to festival veterans Young Knives, plus the people attending themselves; in all captured is that rare excitement of being unsullied and discovering music without any pretence or 'cool' tag.
Especially standout is the clip featuring a teenie hipster who gets meanly accused as a 'lovechild of H&M and Topshop'; his reaction ain't pretty.
