Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 any one there tonight. fucking ace! The support 'bullets to broadway' were class as well. bought their cd after the show and pretty impressed, checked the website and they are in darlington on monday night and back in newcastle next month Not often you find a band you like and get to see them 3 times in 4 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 the place went off big style tonight. must have been close to 1000 kids doing a circle pit in there at one stage, looked fucking awesome! the first support band didnt show so both bands extended their sets, best gig ive been to in a long while.

The Mighty Hog 331 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Jesus wept. American teen punk pop imo. The kind of thing that should be on an American Pie soundrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the group, vastly overrated pop/ska punk which is AWFUL. The lead singer can't even bloody sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 just cos nme doesnt bumfuck them doesnt mean they arent good. they sold out the academy with very little advertising so they must be doing something right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 1 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 The lead singer can't even bloody sing. 113204[/snapback] I thought that was a pre-requisite for such bands. I liked the Offspring and Green Day in my yoof but I wouldn't call Billy Joe or whatshisname the most talented of vocalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 yes but unless you wear sandshoes, have a shaggy hair do and are in a band starting with 'the', youre not worth listening to these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 so are the white stripes, the strokes, kaiser chiefs, ordinary boys, franz ferdinand and all those other bands that are living off the post indie revolution at the minute. theyl all be on the dole next year. People may not like less than jake but they been doing this 14 years now and still selling out venues across the country. Bet none of the above bands will be here half as long.

luckyluke 1 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 The White Stripes and The Strokes have been around for a good while now, Arctic Monkeys are gonna be huge. I'm not so sure about the Kaiser Chiefs and Franz Ferdinand, but the latter's recent album shows that they're certainly not slowing down. Ordinary Boys are just living off BB hype tbh. Less Than Jake have settled into a nice little niche (teen 'punk') so it's not surprising they sell out venues. Good for them. They'll never generate the kind of excitement the above bands do though.

Jill 0 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 all my best friends are metalheads 113196[/snapback] The only decent song they've done tbh.

Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 also happens to be the only song that got any airplay. Are you basing your statement on the fact that its actually the only song by them you have heard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason it got any airplay is because it's the only decent song they've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
