PaddockLad 17238 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Got to say what I’ve heard of Parquet Floors I’ve really liked but there another band that passed me by a bit, same with the likes of LCD Sound System and Arcade Fire…only properly started listening to Foals during lockdown… where’s best to start with PF @sammynb? 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to spend the next week listening my way through their bandcamp page - https://parquetcourts.bandcamp.com/ My main reason for going was the support is a great Sydney band called Loose Fit who rarely play shows and they were brilliant as well. https://loosefit.bandcamp.com/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3355 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 For lovers of fine music, so CT you can stop reading now, Bass Drum of Death are just about to tour the UK, 30/09 London (Roundhouse), 01/10 Newcastle (Uni) and 10/10 Brighton (Chalk but with the Lemonheads) (hopefully I didn't miss out anyone that cares). Amazing and entertaining live. More details: https://www.bassdrumofdeath.com/ This it their new single. And a KEXP show from a few years back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he still married to that lass from Newcastle? Make sure you get there early enough for BDOD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is top of my list of albums to find atm. Yeah it’s immense, really looking forward to it. Bit of a “bucket list” gig for me, never seen him before, he’s a fuckin hero. Definitely the best Spurs fan ever to draw breath Dando is a bit if a dick, saw him during his cross dressing phase nearly 30 years ago. They’re doing “it’s a shame about Ray” start to finish, regardless of Dando’s attention seeking it’s a great album, and I sort of associate it with the first invaders of the heart album, I think they cane out roughly the same time? Both brilliant… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastronaut 1333 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I've only seen Dando perform live once (about 10 years ago, Belladrum) and he was fucking brilliant but the polar opposite of what I was expecting. I went in expecting something verging on Elliott Smith and was met by some bizarre, short but high-energy full-on rock set where he came across as more Scott Weiland strutting about the stage with an SS hat. Not sure if I caught him on a good or a bad day but it quite the performance. Weird guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long story short, they ripped off half a dozen Wire songs. When challenged Justine claimed she had never heard of Wire and was countered with "you personally named them as your biggest influence on the liner notes of your album". Stranglers (and others) also went after them over the waking up riff being lifted from No More Heroes. I do have a little sympathy for Justine, there's only 12 notes in the scale and smack probably blues the lines a bit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3355 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) I’m still gobsmacked by the ruling that Nirvana got away with such a blatant rip off of 80s by Killing Joke and it was even dismissed in court. Yeah Jazz might be a head case but Geordie’s guitar work in Killing Joke has been ground breaking. Edited September 20, 2022 by sammynb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they split up years ago but it was amicable. He used to always play at the Cluny around Xmas time iirc. Jah Wobble is fucking class btw.

PaddockLad 17238 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Ian Brown kicking off his new tour in Leeds last night with no band and no Roses numbers (he usuallly plays 2/3) for the bargain price of 40-50 quid means I can cancel the Twickets alert I’ve set up for his gig in Bournemouth a week tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
