[MK Shrimper]

Tickets on sale today, anyone going?

Dave TS, can you be converted in quality long haired hippy guitar music over your housey housey boogaloo?

 

[Cheltenham Shrimper]

Wish I was going, love Snow Patrol........ :D

 

[MK Shrimper]

Then, my lil' Cheltenham Hilary you'd best get sweet talking me :D

A band who have crashed and burned in the pursuit of popularity if you ask me a la Coldplay! Saw them gigging in a cellar here 5 years ago & it was verging on punky garage music. No chance their durge would sound like that now. Plus he can be a right mardy ****!

 

[MK Shrimper]

Far more exciting than Dullplay Glasgow...... great band... and popularity is no bad thing.

Agree completely - bought their first single (when they were called Polarbear) which I still think is a real gem, liked some of the first album, downhill all the way from then.

Sorry mate, in my opinion, they are miles off what they could have become.
Each to their own though!

Now, if you're looking for how a band develop and improve, listen to the new Editors single. I've not been that moved by a comeback single like that since I heard Paranoid Android 10 years ago! If the album is anything like that then they've just moved into the Premier League of bands!

Sold out already?

 

[blues_r_best]

They are crap, crap, crap...

Sounds good. I'll have to have a listen out....Editors are a great band as well.

MK, did you ever get into Garry Lightbody's other musical project The Reindeer Section? "You Are My Joy" is one of the best songs I've ever heard!

It was a couple of guys from Snow Patrol, a couple from Belle & Sebastian and the guitarist out of The Delgados.

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Nah. But I'm off to see His Royal Purpleness in September instead.

:D

 

[Cheltenham Shrimper]

Before I forget, cheers Toddy for what you did to me regarding this thread. I'm not saying what though :D

 

[Cricko2]

Not the Prince Matt? I had you having Taste for a minute.:thump:

 

[Stats]

Will you be in the royal box?

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Will you be in the royal box?

I didn't know he had a box...

:eek: :finger:

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Well, I hang out with you, John - so you'll have to draw your own conclusions...
:fart:

Are you gonna party like its 1999.................

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Are you gonna party like its 1999.................

Clearly - and not coincidentally, since I've probably been too old to party since that date...

:minger: :cry:

It rings a bell, but I can't remember if I have.
