Or songs that you can't play. That's why I always listen to independent radio stations, because they do. Though the guys at Pitchfork don't agree with me. But apparently Canadians say "holy fuck" a lot. Jeff, Shawn, can you confirm?

But maybe that's why I hadn't heard much about Holy Fuck. I knew very little about this Canadian five piece, who formed in 2004, and seem to have had quite a transient membership in their five years. But once you get past the name, as noted in Pitchfork's review, it really ceases to matter. I mean, look at Echo And The Bunnymen... Never was there a worse named band with such great songs. But I digress.

These guys have been slotted into the Green Stage lineup early Sunday afternoon. I think they might be just what the doctor ordered. Producing nice electronica styled tracks with real instruments is their forte. Quickly becoming the darlings of the festival scene (NME put them in the top three performances o¥at Glastonbury in 2007), their unrehearsed sound is just the thing to chill out to and get you over your hangover, after you amble into the festival and grab something stodgy to eat.

Live performances are reportedly less structured than the tracks on their albums, and you should no doubt be prepared to see the band do just what they want. This probably means something a little more frenetic or darker than the tracks off their albums, or their Myspace. I can particularly see tracks like "The Pulse" blowing out into 10 minute or more pieces of craziness.

Get down there. I don't think these guys will disappoint.
