I just found out about this show! can't wait!!! Jem xx



  • get her boys!

    • No, she's got eight posts

      Seven of which are about Prinzhorn Dance School, but eight posts and a proper interests entry nonetheless.

    • The bassist for Prinzhorn Dance School?

      DON'T MIND IF I DO.

  • i like PDS

    but imagine they would be silly boring live.

    • Prinzhorn live

      I have been really impressed by them each time I've seen them live. Saturday should be really good. Gang Gang Dance who I don't really know are apparently playing too plus plenty of other things, I'm trying to find a full listing for the night with stage times? HH

    • I saw them once...

      ..and thought they were quite good, then I saw them again and thought it was possibly the most pretentious thing I'd ever seen (after Todd Rundgren's 'Liars' tour).

  • prinzhorn dance school

    they sound like the most nathan barley of joke bands to me

  • Great.

    Prinzhorn Dance School are playing on Saturday and I'll be at Glastonbury getting rained on :(

    Still (JAG) they're playing at Offset Festival, so all is not lost. :)

  • I only like Cracker Jacker Docker

    everything else is prety booooring

  • SHIT

    • ha ha ha ha ha

      you listen to Bloc Party! You must be deaf mate.

      • :\

      • you come on a forum purely to bum a shit band

        you are the cunt 'mate'

      • Woah, easy tiger...

        People are allowed to dislike bands y'know. I like PDS but totally understand why others wouldn't. They're like marmite.

    • ok

      join the other 99% of people who think they're shit

      they're minimal, they're amazing. You don't get it.

      • you wouldnt get it.

        a phrase only ever uttered by wankers.

        it is of course entirely possible that people just dont like a band?

        • absolutely

          but the accusations are always that they're pretentious/nathan barley

          and the fact that someone doesn't get something isn't meant as an insult. Never not gotten anything before?

          • the assumption of someone not getting it though

            just makes it seem like you are saying that you are more sophisticated, or sense a higher level in this band us mere mortals do not understand. The truth is they are just a bit rubbish.

            • no, in all civility

              that's the assumption you're making

              there's plenty of stuff out there that I'm pefectly happy to not get. But this band are much maligned (perhaps misunderstood) and the amount of flak they get for VERY quietly going about their business pisses me off. And don't bother with the 'mere mortals' bullshit, it's a cop out. Surely the whole point is that I do 'sense a higher level' - I like them and you don't. Now what's the problem there?

              • Explain what you meant by

                'not getting it'

                because as far as i can see, its a logical conclusion to draw from that, that because you 'do get it' you think you are better.

                • what?

                  not getting it: deriving nothing of any benefit

                  if you're going to persist with the angle that I presume I'm in possession of a more refined sense of taste than yourself because of semantics - well, that really is your problem. Do you feel that it denigrates you in some way to feel nothing? Because it doesn't. The reason my initial post was a bit aggressive is, like I said earlier, that this band are one of the lowest-profile, attention shirking acts going and yet they attract ill considered and reactionary accusations of pretentiousness, which is a fucking defunct term when discussing music anyway. Right, that's your lot. Peace brother.
