Black Mountain play early afternoon slot at Glastonbury

Canadian five-piece Black Mountain bought their psychedelic stoner rock to Glastonbury festival today (June 29).

Taking to the stage at 1.10pm (BST) on Glastonbury's Other Stage, although playing the early afternoon slot, the band managed to pull a small-but-keen sleepy mellowed-out crowd.

Starting on 'Stormy High', which saw singer Amber Webber howling and shaking her maracas along to fellow frontman Stephen McBean's bluesy riffs, while the rest of the band gathered round nodding their heads in time, the quintet started as they meant to go on.

Wearing checked shirt and shades McBean and Webber then shared vocals for second track 'We Could Be Together'.

With the track finished drummer Josh Wells said after spotting a Canadian flag in the audience: "Hey, thanks a lot for coming - I know it's only one o'clock and we really appreciate it."

Staying pretty stationary throughout the set, apart from nodding their heads in time to their solid epic rock outs, the band let the music do the talking with tracks including 'Stay Free'.

The crowd had started to grow throughout the set - with a few girls dancing on shoulders down the front left of stage.

It wasn't all rock-outs for the band's debut Glastonbury show though - and the group took the mood down to mellow with lead singer guy bringing out an acoustic guitar for 'Stay Free'.

Towards end of set drummer Wells said: "This is our last song - I just want to say thanks for coming down especially to all your hardcore tenters."

The band then launched into 'Bright Lights' which saw Webber bashing her tambourine with the wind blowing her hair until last notes of guitar, bass and organ sounds ricocheted through the field.

Lydon blasts "humourless" Coldplay

John Lydon has launched a scathing attack on Coldplay, calling the group "utterly humourless".

Speaking to The Sun, the lead singer of the Sex Pistols also described their music as joyless.

He said: "I pity the poor bastards who have to watch them. They are utterly humourless.

"I met them a few years ago, said hello and realised they were just men in anoraks. They looked like a gang of little poncey masturbators.

"There is no fun, they don't offer joy. Their music has a couple of quite nice tones here and there but it's a box of tosh sold to slightly inadequate, half-baked people."

Lydon, who headlined the Isle of Wight Festival with the Sex Pistols at the weekend, also discussed the group's plans to record a new album.

"There could be a new record. That would be nice," Lydon said. "But I won't do anything in a patronising way. The music, the subject and the attitude all have to be right at the same time. Everything has to be from the heart."
