I'm on 3 now, and scared them after the last gig when I saw them in a bar and told them they were better than the Beatles

im sure i will see them soon though


pretty shamefully, 10+

i am from birmingham though....


more shamefully

none as yet. They played in Oxford at the end of last term but I didn't go because I didn't really know any of their songs, and it was raining a lot. I felt stupid about 2 weeks later when I actually listened to their myspace properly.


Heh

I have the same thing with seeing Kid Carpet on account of living in Bristol.

Johnny Foreigner, on the other hand, I've only seen once, supporting Young Knives. They were great.


supported him once....

most bizzare line-up ever...


Where/when?

Whenever he plays in Bristol - at The Croft in particular - he seems to be paired up with bands that have no connection with him whatsoever. I always really enjoy it because you never quite know what's coming next and variety is good!


10? Wow, you win, surely

I saw them support Los Campesinos, and I thought they were, you know, pretty good. I agree that they're better than the Beatles, but then who isn't these days?

:)


Saw them once supporting Forward Russia.

Sounded like a poor man's Pretty Girls Make Graves.

I don't get the appreciation for this band.


pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

!


they're

a bit rubbish really.


They are ok

Dont see why the whole complete love for them though.

i missed my chance last night. UPSET AND RAGE.


Once

One of the worst bands I've ever seen

It was supporting Young Knives

I won't be bothering to see them again

I thought they were terrible

I clearly just don't get them then


well you like the young knives

so i don't suppose you would get them.


Once

suporting the ace The Mae-Shi this week. Quality gig even if there wasn't many people there all the bands where ace and well up for a laugh.


Was that Cambridge?

I was there, the one time I've seen JoFo, and for what it's worth I thought it was amazing.


It was the night after in York

I loved it, JoFo where wicked but The Mae-Shi brought the crazyness, played the gig in the crowd for the most part and me and some mates ended up on the stage at the end dancing and playing there insturments hehe.


Ah, is there a general lack of audience all over the place?

Such a shame, both bands were completely stunning - I ended up wearing the Mae Shi's giant sheet for half the gig, dancing around like a loony ghost. My friends were a bit freaked out though - "THEY'RE BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL!"


Once,

soon twice. Awesome.

It will be supporting The Mae-Shi too, so I am tres excited


i live in brum too

but as of yet i've seen them twice, but potentially four times:

1 x los campesinos! support
1 x rainbow all dayer (with mirror! mirror! and sunset cinema club)

might see them with the Mae Shi on monday, and I'll definitely see them at Truck.


Twice

likely rising to four times by the end of the year.


None.

I want to see them though. When can I see them?


once

supporting los campesinos
crowd was shit


2

but 3 after the 20th. roll on The Mae Shi/JoFo


Twice

Supporting Los Campesinos and Young Knives.

Pretty sure i'm going to their show with Tubelord in Edinburgh though.


I don't get it


3 times...

...and counting. twice in brum and at the dis night in sheff. shall be seeing them again at the end of the month in northampton and then at a day at the races in manc. need a regular fix of them!

Once

Supporting Sky Larkin at Spitz... discounting band members and staff there were about 10 people there. Awesome gig though.


But

I'll be seeing them again at Lounge on the Farm in July


Saw them once and that's enough

Won't bother with them again. Although they weren't as bad as These New Puritans.


Hmm

I first saw them when they supported Blood Red Shoes at the latter's first Birmingham gig - then at Black Horse when they played with Mills And Boon, and King Edward Inn, so that's three, but I don't think I've seen them for a year.


twice i think

yeah. liverpool and manchester. i'd like to see them a lot more times though!


Never.

And this fact pisses me right off.


4 i think

south by south west
supporting los campesinos x 2
supporting the subways x 1

sxsw was the best by miles, they havent really impressed me live that much at the other 3


ooo look at me thread

1. Supporting Jeniferever @ Flapper & Firkin, Brum, 3 (?) years ago
2. Supporting LC! Birmingham Academy 2, a few months ago
3. Headlining: Oxford Jericho, a bit after that (march?)
4. (the aforementioned) Birmingham Rainbow All Dayer (april?)

Favourite was probably Oxford 'cause people where there to see them.


Also not enough :(

Just the once, headlining RoTa. They never seem to play at convenient times/places.


Eh?

They play at places around Birmingham and finish in time for the last buses.


Incredible scenes


Once.

You've just reminded me I was supposed to review that gig. Sheeyit.


0

but I'm going to see them on Monday!


Once.


just the once in Manchester

Afterwards I walked up to Alexei and blurted out "you're really really good" to which he replied "nice sonic shirt".


i can't wait til they get playlisted on daytime Radio 1

so everybody will SHUT THE HELL UP about them


sadly none

Maybe someday they'll come here !


Twiceeee

Yeah, hopefully more soon.
