ooh

I love this! sort of like a lady Postal Service...


I know

it's ace isn't it? Kinda reminds me of Piney Gir as well.


yeah kind of

a bit more delicate though, I think. Nice.


Well...

They supported us at Club Fandango and frankly I thought they were bloody awful but very attractive.


do you like it on record?

maybe they can't pull it off live?


The Lost Audience

SO says the band who managed to clear the venue.


At least we managed..

To actually play our songs without fucking up every 3 minutes.


awful name

Will check their music !


saw them supporting AiH

wasn't madly impressed. all very admirable in terms of trying to be an all keyboard electro pop thingy but they don't have good songs.


Really?

I think all the songs on their new album are really good.


well

bear in mind I've only seen them at one gig. But they sounded samey and didn't really go anywhere. And i don't think they're very good singers.

I kind of wanted them to enjoy them cos I like electronic bands and I think they don't get taken seriously enough (i'm biased of course). But they just didn't grab me on the day even though i was giving them my attention.

What's their best song do you think? I'd like to give them another chance...


If

I had to pick just one then Disco Song is quite fun and kistchy but the album as a whole works really well for me. Sounds like they really need to work on their live show but on record they are fab!


Phew.

I thought Nina Simone had died for a second there!

I'll have a listen to this band when I calm down.


Nina Simone

died in her sleep in 2003.


Why

didn't someone start a thread about it?

How else am I going to find out?


Maybe

everyone was trying to protect you...


i love this band

anyone heard their cover of bowie's oh you pretty things on the new bowie covers comp?

its beautiful


I really like the band

and have seen them a few times live but their Bowie cover is dull and plodding.


they're ace.

<3 stars. oh oh and fallen snow.


Jesus!

it makes me feel so silly when people were championing great bands two years before i'd even heard of them. They are pretty special.


I like Sad Song

Apparently I look like one of them but I disagree


i remember i was into them loads about 2 years ago

but they dont realy have much substance. stay golden and disco song are amazing.
