Any bands that wear guitars high up by their nipples and still pretend to be a rock band. I mean, what's the fucking point of that?! Surely, the higher the guitar is worn, the worse the band. Cases in point: most emo, most NME bands.
Franz Ferdinand, Libertines, Babyshambles, Futureheads, The Bravery... gah. Shite!
Oh, that and Little Britain, raw tomatoes and U2. _________________ www.leftsidebrain.com |

Didn't Barney Sumner make that stance famous? _________________ "fashioned by the blade of a world that doesn't care,

Camden, when you had the full band. Might have been more than 2 years ago. Touring for AFM.
The place was full of wanky media and record exec types who left before the real deal started.
I'm not surprised you don't remember, we lost interest in them very quickly, whilst the cretins around us opened up their chequebooks.

Actually I thought they were a novelty act and after hearing the latest single (a cover of the mighty Kate Bush's Hounds Of Love) my opinion hasn't changed. _________________ "we wanted to make a sound like penguins going to the post office to collect their pension money" |

Damn, then I probably saw them as well! Were they the first band that played that night? If I remember correctly, they were very noisy and I lost my interest in them after the first two songs because they were so similar. Then there was this tall bloke with long curly hair who was a bit boring, he played a couple of songs (including 'The Library Song'!) before bravecaptain started to play. _________________

Oh yes. That song was so bad that I almost liked it!
Can you remember his name? _________________
