It seems incredible to think that it has been five years since the Djangos graced the BBC Introducing stage at the 2010 Big Weekend in Bangor, the same year they took part in the BBC Introducing Weekender in Maida Vale studios, thanks to BBC Scotland’s Vic Galloway. At the time, their eponymous (Mercury nominated) debut album was still two years off, although breakthrough hits Waveforms and Default were already part of their set.
Now, of course, things are very different. This will be the band’s third appearance at Glastonbury, they’ve played many sessions since then (for Lauren Laverne, Dermot O’Leary, Marc Riley, and Rob da Bank), and they released Born Under Saturn, their second album of carefully orchestrated mantra pop, at the beginning of May. The interesting thing is that Paul Weller had an album out in May too, and his was called Saturn’s Pattern; a most musical form of planetary alignment, there.
