Hope Of The States
Cooper Temple Clause
Easyworld

The Black Amnesias live, one of the most breathtaking moments i've ever witnessed

TCTC - Absolutely underrated and irreplacable, you just don't get bands like that any more

Easyworld - Gutted I never got to see them in an intimate venue

you?

- On A Rope
  
  is one of the best party tracks ever. I remember seeing them doing it on TFI Friday of all things. Looking back now, they were visually like a fat Hives. Apart from that one in the Hives who is portly. And the other way round, time wise.
  
  But yeah,them.
  
  Oh and Menswear and Gay Dad.

Also the coopers

Saw them only once. Never seen a bad tour with so much equipment, rack after rack after rack of gear. Good noises.

  No matter how many times I met any of the members, it won't compensate for that fact

i would say

Meet me in st. louis, which is perhaps a bit recent, but i only saw them play once while Toby was still around, and it still haunts me a little bit that i didn't just abandon my life and follow them around for the rest of that tour..

Martbowski | 26 Jul '08, 02:29 | X | ^ This | Reply
- I saw Easyworld about 5-6 times
  
  I remember thinking at the time this band are immense, the singer is so passionate, the songs are poppy as hell, they cant go wrong. Then they made an lp and decided to make ballads...
  
  Shame, they were really good!

  amazing both times i saw them. richard james was really good on his own, but less energetic. euros childs was a bit disappointing on his own.
  also zabrinski were incredible the four times i saw them, how they weren't bigger is strange.

    I think Gorky's petered out a lot though. John leaving left a huge dent in their sound, Euros' solo stuff is a lot more like early Gorky's though, which is never a bad thing!

Death From Above 1979

Never got to see them live, their first album was fucking incredible and not to produce another one was a crime.

Clor,

Tom Vek, DFA1979, The Open too, their second album was quite good i thought. And Field Music, although i'm enjoying the three side projects i have to say.

  will make another album, they never really split up. There just doing new things for a while.

  - Yeah, they're on "hiatus" or whatever
    
    although i saw David B a few months ago and he dodged the question of a new field music album at some point, said he couldn't say either way whether it would happen. Hope they do manage another, the last one was cracking!

I agree,

The Black Amnesias live is just immense. I'd love to have seen Hope Of The States again. Would a Verve-esque reunion in about ten years is too much to ask?

When I saw the thread title, I thought 'TCTC'

Then I opened it and remembered how awesome HOTS were as well. Well done you for pointing it out again.

And yet Stereophonics are still going..the world can be a giant bastard sometimes
