Bestival 2011: The Drums thank festival-goers - "You guys are so sweet to us"

The Drums have thanked the Bestival crowd as they played in an early afternoon slot on the Main Stage.

The New York City indie-pop band - who release their second album Portamento on Monday - declared their appreciation for festival-goers who had come along to watch their set.

Vocalist Jonathan Pierce told the crowd: "You've been here four days... thank you for sticking it out for us."

He then quipped: "I know what it's like. I need fun in my life," before the band played their track of the same name.

Pierce later told the audience: "You guys are so sweet to us. We don't believe it, thank you so much."

The Drums played a number of tracks from their debut album in addition to 'I Need Fun In My Life', including 'Best Friend', 'Book of Stories', 'Me and the Moon', 'Forever and Ever Amen' and 'Down By the Water'.

They also played a handful of tracks from Portamento including lead single 'Money'.

Bjork will headline tonight's Main Stage programme at Bestival in a worldwide outdoor festival exclusive.
