Apologies

sean [Edit] [Delete] 31 replies 12:39, 1 July '05
I'd just like to make a public apology for how fucking shite Black Velvets are and that they playedt he DiS stage last night at wireless. We had no say in this band playing and tried to get them off the bill after a review or two on the site pointing out how rubbish they are.
So there, public apology made.
Anyone have the misfortune to see them?

    • Re: Apologies

      They are just awful but then who booked them and why did you have no control over their appearance? I admire your non - compromising attitude but I can't say I like JJ72 either and they were on.

          with that sort of name I take it they are bad rock/metal and not ironic with it?

            They supported fucking Mark Lanegan. I almost cried. I hope he had a fight with them afterwards.

            Think Jet only worse.

              hahahahaha ^^^ yeah i heard about that! The Black Velvets are a huge stinking pile of JOKE. 'get on your life, get on you life?' da fuck does that mean? and why do they totally go for the Jet look (everything in denim or corderoy and faded to the extreme!) in their video(s). Another one of these 60's ('classic') rock revivalists that make me shudder with shame for them, go back to Russia you turds.

                  err, I read that their staple diet on the road is made up of ingredients found in the classic Russian Salad!?! seriously. Yet they mostly still seem to have the facial complex of a burnt top-tart. i dunno

        Do some work Darcy!

        Erm Prole your description is extremely accurate for having never heard them. They don't sound like Jet at all.

              If 'sun' is a euphemism for 'drugs at glastonbury' then i think you're right!

                    haw - sorry Darce, but i dont want you going all schizophrenic on me now (dont you read the scare tactics of the Daily Mail? you smoke weed = your not only a stoopid non-contributuing hippy but you could turn into someone that doesn't drink beer!). I just couldn't live with the pain if you where to turn into deadbrain. *smokes down to clip*

                  then get on the G8 threads in the social board and give us your green hazy opinions ralphcore!

                  also; my apologies to the DiS staff for hijacking their message board
                  THOUGH I*D HAVE THOUGHT THEY*D HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT IT!

  • Re: Apologies

    I enjoy the doom-y sickly feeling promoters get when they realise they've fucked their own audience by booking a bad band. It's like getting your money back in the form of Nectar points.

    Almost enough to make me wish I'd gone to Wireless. Almost.
    Stealthy | 1 Jul '05, 15:19 | X
    • Re: Apologies

      We didn't book them, they were imposed on us.
      Originally we were doing the X-fm stage and had a lot of the stuff that was on there, but things got diluted.
      sean @Stealthy | 1 Jul '05, 16:34 | X
      • Re: Apologies

        Like Quash.
        And look what happened to that.
        Although, you go up against Ki-ora (whatever), you're gonna get burnt.
        Mike_Diver @sean | 1 Jul '05, 16:37 | X
        • Re: Apologies

          'Things' got diluted' could technically sum up xfm over the last 10 years anyway

          why cant we destroy some more bands who are foisted upon us whilst we're at it?
          prole-art-threat @Mike_Diver | 1 Jul '05, 16:45 | X
        • Re: Apologies

          That's hilarious although I can't what you're on about. Quash still exists in all its aftertaste leaving /flourescent /oversweetened/artificial glory.
          Patricide @Mike_Diver | 1 Jul '05, 16:51 | X
          • Re: Apologies

            I thought Quash had gone the way of ThunderCats chews and Mr-T icelollies?

            SHIIITE.

            Those aliens were gash, mind.

            Bummer dude. You think it would've been worth the inevitable legal action from their label if you had figured out a way to shut down their PA and play half an hour of pop favourites instead?

            Bands these days need to know THE LAW!
