Glasgow’s Q Without U will release their debut album in a couple of weeks.
The obnoxiously-titled Shut Up! I Invented You! was recorded at Chime studios with Ross McGowan (We are the Physics/Danananananaykroyd) and will arrive on the 2nd of June.
Which is what – just under a fortnight? Limited edition handmade copies will be available from shows or you can just download the whole thing for free from the band’s MySpace.
If you’d like to see if Q Without U deserve the space on your hard drive, they’ll be playing shows at the following times and dates shortly:
June
7 Edinburgh Henry’s Cellar
8 Newcastle Head of Steam
10 London The Good Ship
13 Glasgow 13th Note
14 Aberdeen Moorings Bar

Q And Not U?
!?!?!?!
WHICH ONE IS WHICH!?
I BEFORE E!!!!!
.
sorry if it's been said a 100 times but please change your name it's especially annoying given that you play guitar based 'indie'
...
but I don't
its ok
me either
^^
I agree with this sentiment. In fact I refuse to listen to them until they do.
q and not u
are gash anyhow
Woah there
Please
oh for the love of the sky spirit
shut the hell up
Why the big deal?
It's not like the name confusion is anything new: http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/3332923
Are tickets available
for the London show yet? And, if so, where?
i'm pretty sure
its just pay at the door but i'll find out for sure and PM you :)
It is pay on the door but PM me if you want entrance space but aside...
"If you’d like to see if Q Without U deserve the space on your hard drive"
LOLOLOL
and
thats hilarious why?
Because
I think it's a pitiful reflection on the record "buying" habits of the readership of DiS.
Not a slur on your band!
*laughs*
i just took it that you found the thought of us eating up people's computer bits to be a laughing matter - i can assure you its not! ;)
p.s. let us put you on in glasgow? we'll pay!
music is ace
But the name is a problem. I read it every time as Q and not U, and get incredibly excited....until i realise its not.
In summary, music = great, name = messing many people about!
i'm glad you like the music
and we did consider changing the name when this first came up (around 3 years ago now), the only argument i'd now put forward is this -

http://tinyurl.com/2ue2xu
:)
...but that distinction is easy to make
it's not hard to realise that there is an S on the end, and they play different enough styles of music for people not to get confused.
its also not hard to realise
that there are two different words and that this argument isnt going to go anywhere :)
You considered changing the name?
Why did you chose that name in the firstplace?
You surely would have at least heard of Q and not U, if not heard them.
nah we'd never heard of them
and we chose the name after watching an episode of the simpsons - maude flanders has just died and ned remarked to marge that he felt "like a q without a u"
shit but true story i'm afraid
I think that if I'd had to defend
myself in the same argument over and over and over again as you have I would've lost the will to live long ago.
Kudos to you sir.
cheers Gareth
it used to bother me alot more
we actually once had some mental kid from texas threatening to put a hex on us if we didnt change our name! :D
well
let's just hope your music overshadows your band's stubbornness.
i dont think we'd be half as stubborn
if they hadnt threatend to sue us
i totally read this as
"Q And Not U in new album shocker"
:(
Word up! We're playing on the London show too.
That's Pocus Whiteface, I mean. Anyway: Excitement. May have to grab me one of these handmade albums.
i know
it'll be ace - looking forward to seeing you guys!
the london line up is as follows -
paul hawkins & thee awkward silences
pocus whiteface

bah
they are S before HIT
Shame this entire thread
is about your name and not your music.
Dunno who that reflects on more badly?
not entirely
but i suppose i'd rather people gave the music a listen first and then decided we were shit if that was the case rather than some of the people who've decided they either a)wont listen at all or b)that we *must* be shit because our name is similar to a band they love
don't worry
some of us have got ears, y'know
Can't wait for this !
Sadly I won't be able to get a handmade copie !
lyle
we're trying to get some copies into a couple of online stores so i'll give you a shout :)
