ELECTRIC FIELDS festival will hold its first ever event this summer and have today announced Honeyblood as an addition to the line-up.
The Scottish festival, which takes place in Drumlanrig Castle on 30th August 2014, will see acts including Fatherson, The LaFontaines, Prides, Vigo Thieves and Anderson McGinty, Webster, Ward and Fisher play.
Honeyblood are a Glasgow-based duet of Stina Tweeddale and Shona McVicar have been compared to Best Coast, The Breeders and Haim. Recording their debut album last November at the legendary producer Peter Katis’ Tarquin Studios (Frightened Rabbit, The National, Interpol), this will be their 3rd trip to Dumfriesshire after playing The Solus Tent at The Wickerman Festival last summer and Dumfries Music Conference in November.
Also added are Olive Grove Records’ Woodenbox, who Mojo Magazine called ‘Fervent, Caledonian-folk-meets-mariachi-brass and ivory-thumping rave-ups”.
Other new additions include Glasgow’s crunchy alt-rockers United Fruit, 16 legged ska monster More From Jim and a brace of local acoustic artists, Zoe Bestel, Nicola Black Band, Spartan Tartan, Sticks & Stones and Alex Maxwell.
Electric Fields booker Chay Woodman said “From the line-up that we already have with the likes of Fatherson and Neon Waltz, again, by adding fantastic bands such as Honeyblood, we’ve shown that there’s more to festivals in SW Scotland than what’s been expected. We’re doing it the way we want, which is how it should be. New Scottish music is vibrant and alive and we’re bringing it to the hills of Dumfriesshire. And we’re not even done adding bands yet.’
