NJS 4386 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 They're a much better band without him but the lyrics aren't as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I wonder what would have happened with them if he hadn't gone missing and was a functioning member.... how long would they have realistically lasted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchie was troubled but less of a cunt. i pretty much lost interest in their music after the holy bible too. Loved the first three albums as a nipper and saw them at the uni when they were still a 4 piece, one of the best gigs I've ever been to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be good, new wrinkle is that there is a forest fire about 10.5 km to the south-east so there is an evacuation alert in the area. 10000 festival goers and another 4-5000 in staff and volunteers would need to G.T.F.O. in a hurry if this fire flares up. maybe i'm just not meant to see LTJ live.

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Does indeed. Saw a skills and krafty kuts b2b at the big chill a few years back and it was the set of the weekend. Proper party tunes mixed up with turntablism skills. jazzy Jeff is still one of the best party djs going. saw him at plan b in Brixton a couple of years back and it was great to see an old timer embrace new technology. He was mixing and scratching old school party tunes on serrato. I saw bukem at at the bussey building in Peckham the other week and He must be over 50 now but he was still mint.

Alex 35093 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Jazzy Jeff's fucking class. Much more talented than Will Smith (musically at least). Better at acting too going off the Fresh Prince Bukem is obvs totes amazeballs. Or he was when I was still alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooner 243 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 IT WAS AMAZING!!!! But a roller coaster as well as the evacuation was on and off, finally got some rain on Sunday morning so they decided to keep the festival going. The Orb was great but a much different set than you'd expect at a festival, had loads of nods to their ambient house hits. DJ Jazzy Jeff was one of the best sets of the weekend, his scratching is head and shoulders above most other Dj's, JFB was rediculous and we got to hang out with him on Sunday afternoon while he practiced his set. Had never heard of WBBL and as such his set was the surprise of the weekend for me, played lots of classic tunes and you could tell how stoked he was to see the Fractal Forest going off the deep-end. Sadly LTJ didn`t make it to the festival, plane could land because of smoke. I took loads of video but the sound is fucking terrible, might try to clean it up a bit and will post them if it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15531 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Just booked up for several of these if they count as gigs. There's nothing quite like doing high culture on the cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17280 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Just used viagogo for the first time. Tickets for TheThe next June, only playing the Albert hall and Brixton the night after. If Matt Johnson announces a nationwide tour next week I think I might have a breakdown Edited September 15, 2017 by PaddockLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3356 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I think it was Meenzer that originally mentioned 65daysofstatic all those years ago, amazing band. Anyway one of the few shows they are playing this year, and I wish I could get there, is at the Boiler Shop in Newcastle, 5 December. http://www.stephensonworks.com/tickets/2017/12/5/65daysofstatic Go see them if you can. I see The Fall, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Liars are also playing at the Boiler Shop in October - you lucky bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I saw The Fall playing at that BBC Radio 6 festival a couple of years ago. Mark E Smith was giving the band hell, turning all the amps up and messing with the keyboard. Generally being a dickhead, well worth a watch, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30619 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I know nothing about The Fall apart from the facts that they pretty much have a revolving band and that Mark E Smith is a twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
