Remember Boy Kill Boy?
suh suh suh SOOOOzeyyyyyy
Remember Nine Black Alps
make up the breakdown
was a really good album, everything hot hot heat have done since has been disappointing in comparison.
Remember Operater Please?
YES
YES I DO...Irish wunthey? Did they sing "Daria"?
No that was "Chicks"
Operator Please sang the song about ping pong.
And, lest we forget, Leave It Alone
And then the keyboard player left and was next seen on a soft porn site.
And in fact they've just split up
although the singer doesn't think so: http://www.radarradio.com.au/news/news/operator-please-break-up.aspx
rule 1
They were Australian I think.
Pretty sure I saw them supporting Lightspeed Champion. They weren't very good and the porn lass had already left. Had a bit of a crush on the violinist though.
Leave It Alone was okay
the rest of it sucked, cept the Violinist
blonde violinist?
yes please very much
Saw them supporting the Go Team, were shit
yeah, Australian
Had that awful, awful single "Just a Song about Ping Pong".
That song was enough to put me off them forever, but I have to admit to liking "Zero Zero".
Fucking hell Operater Please are/were so shit
In Australia they're considered Triple J endorsed pish.
I hate Triple J
So unfathomably much
yeah, I was surprised to learn that they were at all known in the UK
Remember VHS or Beta?
Remember The Vines?
i remember people saying they were going to be the new nirvana
That one song they had fucking ruled
'Get Free'
Great song, but absolutely their only one. I saw them live and they were awful
the datsuns
strange times
The Datsuns famously sold 12 tickets in my home town
At a venue that held 800. This was on their 2nd album.
Remember Good Shoes?
Good Shoes, yes
oh yes.
Good Shoes > Maccabees
Good shoes are amazing! such an under-rated band
Can't believe Tulisa picked Nu Vibe over them.
gutted.
Shit shoes
I saw good shoes once, supporting Maximo Park i think. Toad shit.
Remember cat on form?
I saw a guy in Crouch End with a Cat on Form T-shirt not too long ago.
when Blood Red Shoes played Summer Sundae
there was a dude in a Cat on Form t-shirt
(Steve used to be one of the two shouty topless chaps in Cat on Form)
My friend Glyn, that was
He put Cat On Form on back in t'day.
I have a Cat of Form tshirt I sometimes sleep in.
Anyone remember Horsebox?
Me neither.
i had to think for ages where i knew that name from.
whoops, sorry will.
I heard they were still going...
Which was your favourite album?
Derailed?
All went down hill when that dude changed his hair
Remember Battle?
'S' deliberately left out.
Had their album
but it's mysteriously gone missing...
Which, coincidentally, was the thing that killed their chances
Plenty of press ahead of their album, then they decided to scrap it, put out a mini-album and re-recorded the whole thing. By the time the new version was ready nobody cared.
Went to uni with them
They changed their name a gazillion times, the guitarist was distinctly odd but have to say that the frontman had something about him. Shame really.
Remember when Kings of Leon used to be good?
Remember Little Boots
OK not a band but...
Remember WU LYF?
*Brother
Remember Black Kids?
Their EP was really good
Bernard Butler really fucked them over.
How so?
he produced their album....
completely ruined songs that sound great on the EP and as demos...
The album's great
IMO it's a bit of a shame they got jumped on by everyone after its release. I'm hoping they'll eventually do a follow-up.
srsly?
srsly
Ooops, this'd by accident
not even heard the album
They didn't sound great on the EP
the EP was just songs with some extreme bad reverb, it was 2007, the year that precedes that whole new lo-fi bands like Vivian Girls and Wavves. The (over)produced style of Bernard Butler just showed us how shitty they were.
Remember The Dead 60s?
I saw them live once
it sounded like they had two songs that they were repeating over and over.
I was once in a pub in rainham
staring at one of the other teams in the pub quiz, trying to figure out why they looked familiar. The pub quiz man is announcing the scores and he says "the dead 60's!" and its only the blooming dead 60s in a pub quiz using their band name as their team name.
:D
Remember Dreadzone
Yeah, that little britain sitcom they did was pretty pig for a while
You're thinking if Peppa
What's the best way of getting thinner fingers?
Remember I Was a Cub Scout
They're BACK
At least Todd is, I read something somewhere about how he was gonna start some new solo stuff under that name. Saw that band so many times when I was at uni, loved them.
William
has the best drumming CV ever - La Roux, Brontide, Young Legionnaire, Summer Camp.
Aye
I started a thread on here about it, but it was basically ignored.
As a 15-year old who was pretty into my now girlfriend, they were a big help. Even though it is embarrassing to admit that.
However, I don't know if the comeback is going to continue. There was a Tumblr around (iwacs.tumblr.com) but it's now down - it was only up for a while. Todd was right on top of answering questions... but he's deleted the tumblr, refuses to answer Facebook posts... Maybe it will happen, but I have the feeling it was just an idealistic thing.
Plus I was never so into their early stuff - and considering Todd doesn't own a guitar, and, won't have a drummer - I can't see myself enjoying the new stuff. I'unno.
Okay serious now,
Anyone remember Delakota?
Yep
The Rock is fabulous
Good.
I haven't met anyone since being introduced to them that's actually heard of them.
Saw them support Embrace once
They were amazing.
Remember Remember Remember?
Remember Remember
just put out a brilliant second album.
Remember The Rakes?
Yeah their last album was pretty good methinks
They were a great British band.
I completely forgot about Iglu and Hartly
I don't remember their song but I do remember despising it
Remember The Zutons?
Remember Architecture In Helsinki?
played
Heaven on Sunday.
Playing
Big Day Out in Aus/NZ January next year
Remember Help She Can't Swim?
Seriously, remember them and know nothing will be as awesome to the end of times.
Re-listened to their debut the other day
It's still cracking
Nobody cares about your DJ night!
had a DJ night at uni called that
it was a bad choice, looking back.
Remember Be Your Own Pet?
JEFF the brotherhood are wicked, not sure what happened to the rest
I bought their debut for £1 a couple of weeks ago
having never listened to them at the time.
still got big
love for that album. Second one was decent too.
Jemina released a solo LP in 2009
it sank, she hasn't done a follow up
ah yes
I actually have that on my iTunes. Don't think I've ever made it more than a song or two deep. Had a duet with Iggy Pop as well.
Also remembered the guitarist now fronts Turbo Fruits who are also pretty good
I find it quite surprising that Jemina Pearl
didn't become a breakout star. Seems to me she has everything that the major labels try and manufacture in their female acts...
Remember Joe lean and the Jing Jang Jong?
Three of them have re-emerged in a band that sound like (and are touring with) the Horrors
http://soundcloud.com/heavenlyrecordings/hvn233-a-left-myself-behind
Joe Lean's in that Fresh Meat on Channel 4
Remember Bloc Party?
I thought that first one didnt post
and now I feel silly.
Remember Uncle Kracker?
Remember Air Traffic?
Remember Kubb?
you know what
i saw air traffic in belgium and they were pretty good
air traffic
were quality
Remember Eastern Lane?
I SAID PIG ON FRIIIII-DAY
Singer bloke now trading as The Agitator of shouting-over-drums fame.
Really?!
Jeez...
Remember Keith?
Or The Little Ones?
The Open
The Mooney Suzuki
My favorite 00s Indie 1-hit wonder
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rJnIS5JWHw
The Open's first (only?) album was fucking brilliant
genuine lost classic
The Open
is a great shout
I LOVE sing song
shame about the LP
I made a comment about "Keith" represented a low point in band names on someone's Facebook post a few weeks ago
only for one of her friends to be dating the drummer or something.
OH OH
as a member of Keith TOTP (And His Minor UK Indie Celebrity Allstar Backing Band)
we were listed on a poster last year in Manchester, as Keith, with a photo of the Manchester-based Keith, their blurb and everything. imagine all the disappointed Keith fans who showed up. #zero
Keith's my middle name
I *think* a couple of them are now in Plank! who are MUCH better
XX Teens used to be Xerox Teens
when The XX first appeared on the scene I assumed it was XX Teens after a further name change
Unfortunately
Remember Mumm-Ra?
I thought the Mumm-Ra album
was really good. The first one anyway. Then after that, not a peep.
remember Mirrors?
Into the Heart
was a top wee pop song. But didn't ever get round to the album.
Remember The Upper Room?
Summery http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffZfLT2RF_o
Remember The Arcade Fire ?
Remember Remember Remember?
miike snow
faker <3
Remember The Research?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xShiljuOnro&ob=av2n
Mylo
did he ever destroy rock 'n' roll?
Interviewed him briefly the other day.
Record label probs now sorted = new album next year.
The Big Pink
VV Brown
The Acorn
Remember Speech Debelle ?
fuck me, that was quick, wasn't it...
She was always shit
But winning the Mercury Prize can often fuck your chances.
No no no no no,
Her album's bloody brilliant, well worth plucking from the bargain bin. Great sound, great lyrics. She's good.
I have to disagree
To me, it was alright but quite cliched. Haven't heard all of it though.
Remember A?
Think they're working in Starbucks now.
Or writing hits for McFly!
or presenting the Radio 1 Rock Show
last time I checked anyway, which was a while back...Daniel P Carter...played some good stuff, actually.
Remember The Presets?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfsbqFbCtC0
Remember The Presets?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfsbqFbCtC0
Remember the first time you read this post?
Six seconds ago...
Yes, they followed up the album that single came from
with a relatively successful second album, featuring a bunch of pretty decent tracks. E.g.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1ufW2INWmM
Remember The Chalets?
remember Satin Peaches?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCWDb6SQgto
Remember Little Man Tate?
Remember John Earls?
I miss Planet Sound
:(
John Earls
Recently sold his entire record collection. Hmm.
Last time i was there (late march 2011)
there was a fresh Little Man Tate sticker on a soap dispenser in the ladies of the southbound Leicester Forest East service station.
Do Los Campesinos! count?
I'm listening to them as I'm in a bad mood and want to pretend I'm 17 again.
no, there's a fair amount of hype and excitement around their new album
at least for a band of their size anyway.
haven - say something
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHcb9VSAgIw
lol
I remember this....
Boring now...
their drummer's now in Marion
\m/
I liked 'em
Remember the Hot Puppies ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAPdGS5b5j4
Should have been huge. Huge, I tell you.
the party
is still one of my favourite songs... if you liked them and the long blondes, who would you listen to now?
remember kubichek! ?
debut album was a cracker...
two of them are now in Young Liar, who are fucking fantastic....
Remember The Teenagers?
Listening to their album now, the lyrics still make me laugh.
'Homecoming' is a very nice song.
i listened to them the other day actually
they'd aged better than i would've thought.
STELASTARR*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDdI3ch4slE&ob=av2e
a great song
No Weather is still brilliant:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9y_UCkt3AQ
Remember The Delays?
My dad always insisted that
The Delays were 'the next big thing'. He'd always listen to Louder Than Heaven (that right?) in his car - and does to this day. He had happened to walk into a gig of theirs in Stoke I guess and took a shine.
Recently he picked me up from Stoke train Station and banged on 'Heaven. We had a laugh and wondered where they are now. Seriously need a thread about dads with solid taste in music - Delays was a nothing choice, but the man got me into Zevon.
Long Time Coming was such a choon.
still great.
second album's another lost classic
jawdroppingly good
Remember Oxford Collapse?
they were pretty great
Remember Larrikin Love?
they were great
I don't want to!
Awful band!
CSS?
Rumble Strips?
i'm off the hook baybay
Glasvegas
Mutemath
One Night Only
!!!
Cold War Kids
Hundred Reasons
Klaxons
The Magic Numbers
Garbage
Secret Machines
<3 Hundred Reasons
Does anybody know
what happened to Hundred Reasons? They released Quick the Word and toured it, then fell off the face of the planet. Did family life catch up with them?
Yeah I googled them the other day as a result of this thread
apparently they're all busy with LIFE and stuff and don't get much time to meet up and practice/write songs that often but they say there will be another album at some point.
Ah, I suspected as such
What are they doing with a life, do they not know that they should only be doing music?! (tongue firmly in cheek)
!!! had an album recently and have toured it fairly heavily this year.
Still amazing live.
Secret Machines
Alone, Jealous and Stoned is straight up beauty
it's like a Cure song gone all shoegaze-indie :D
First album has their best moment (First Wave Intact) but actually the THIRD, self-titled album is a kinda-forgotten slab of mostly-kickass, The Fire Is Waiting especially
Secret Machines Ten Silver Drops is a lost classic
Lana Del Rey?
NEIL'S CHILDREN!
:'-D
I still have the first Snow White 7"
I'M BORED, SOMEWHAT DETACHED
Oh Selfish Cunt 1st album is great,Authority Confrontation and I Love New York are top songs
i remember all of these
Also i lump Special needs into that. Or "The Needs" as they became.
Murry the Hump?
Saw them supporting Hefner at ULU back in 2000. They were excellent and I was convinced they were going to be massive...then they disappeared off the face of the Earth.
didn't they become The Keys (also on Too Pure)?
Peel fave 'Strength of Strings' is a classic single.
remember ...
Lowgold? The Beautiful South? Placebo? Babybird? Wheat? JJ72? Does It Offend You Yeah? Andreas Johnson? Vincent Vincent & The Villains? China Drum? The D4?
Still got a lot of time for Vincent Vincent and the Villains.
Hell is for Heroes
Great band
Remember Tilly & The Wall
Remember Span? They were awesome
FOUND
do-do-do-do
Remember Captain?
The bassist plays for Charlie from Busted/Fightstar fame now. They were on morning telly yesterday. Rock and/or roll.
Remember Orson?
yes :'(
OH GOD THE HATS
The singer from Orson
wrote and co-produced two tracks on Nicola Roberts' album, just as much of the record as Joe Mount worked on. ANSWER THAT ONE, POP HIPSTERS.
Remember The Virgins?
I don't. Thankfully!
Good work, The Virgins.
Caesers?
JERK IT OUT
Do you remember the first time?
I can't remember the last time.
No, really, I can't 8=(
White Rose Movement, anyone?
Hell yeah, Love is a Number is a nice tune despite the obvious Joy Div bass reference. See them support The Rakes (also mentioned in this thread)
Aye, it was a catchy wee tune..I remember seeing them at Pukkelpop in 06, that 'Kick' was an ace track too.
I saw them supporting someone, sometime. Can't remember, maybe We Are Scientists.
Fucking hell they were a bad band.
Remember Delphic?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8395789.stm
remember them saying they wanted to battle LCD Soundsystem for the "best dance act crown" at Reading one year?
LOLCANO!
http://www.nme.com/news/delphic--2/50436
Oh, god, Delphic!
Whatever happened to them...
Remember Mona?
Or Clare McGuire? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11904585
Dresden Dolls
Remember Kenesis?
Remember Serafin?
Remember Future Ex-Wife?
<3 <3 <3 Kinesis' first album
yeah
I saw Serafin support Feeder years ago. I think their drummer was in Razorlight for a bit
Remember Witness?
Wigan band, supposedly the next Verve. Actually bloody good songsmiths, couple of good albums but they haven't dated too well, sounds a bit wet.
Remember the Black Velvets?
The Gliteratti?
It seems too much coke leads to horrendeous major label A&R mistakes!!!
remember Wilt?
they're back. IN POG FORM!
:D
More bands need to return in Pog form.
Violent Delight
you bastard
i'd safely buried that memory until now
Remember Electric Six ?
I'm gonna take you to a GAY BAR, GAY BAR !
Just wait til cowcow gets here.
Just seen this
I'm taking you DOWN, CiderEagles!
They played my college ball last year
They were not good. Were on just before a Lady Gaga tribute act.
you too, paul
Remember Mylo?
Think he headlined Isle of Wight last year, but still no follow-up to his debut.
Someone mentioned above
that they spoke to him and he suggested there'd be a new record next year
Remember Santogold?
Changed her name to Santigold, and then...
Great record.
Remember Blinker the Star?
Come to think of it, "Below the Sliding Doors" could have been a track off of Band of Horses' last record.
Remember Giant Drag?
Hearts and Unicorns was a tidy little album
I think Annie plays keyboards in the Icarus Line now..
Remember The Icarus Line?
Still listen to Giant Drag now and again
pretty good
Remember The Envy Corps?
No
Remember Purple Aki?
Pfft
Show us yer biceps.
Remember Ikara Colt?
They were awesome
...
remember The Earlies?
remember Running Battle?
remember The 22-20s?
remember The Von Bondies?
The 22-20s Shoot Your Gun is an ACE song
remember Winnebago Deal?
DID IT... DONE IT... DOING IT AGAIN!
<3
HUNTED! HUNTED DOWN!
remember Kaito?
their 3rd album would have been ace.
Remeber Hope of The States?
Nehemiah, last survivor in this cynical world.
I once posited
that Enemies/Friends would have been dismissed as a Funeral ripoff had it not been released a year before Funeral came out.
awesome band
Couldnt sing to save their lives.
Good band though
remember posting on band's message boards?
I was a HotS boardie. sniff.
never fulfilled their true potential, that band. wish Sam would stop dicking around writing about cooking for the Quietus or whatever and get the band back together. make something like the Dust Rackets, but fleshed out a bit more.
Remember the 5th of November?
Remember Twisted Wheel?!
Courteeners-lite, if ever a thing could exist.
Remember the Dykeenies?
Remember Morning Runner?
surprisingly good tbf
Remember Funeral for a Friend?
still going quite strong, if a little smaller than they were circa 2003-2008
Latest album actually great.
They just released an eight track EP too. They're pretty prolific these days. Slight change of lineup too, but very much going strong.
Dogs Die In Hot Cars!
Lapsus Linguae?
Just you and me, pal
You Got Me Fraiche is my second-favourite album of the 00's behind Blood Inside! They'd better reform and record This Is Puberty before I get agitated.
*raises hand*
And me. And Brooner. And I'm pretty sure medulla is/was into them as well.
Remember The Others?
THIS IS FOR ALL THE POOR, NOT YOU RICH KIDS!!!
anybody remember these two cunts:
http://www.fashionista.com/images/entries/queens_of_noize1.jpg
they were in libertines videos and on mtv2 and they were just generally everywhere boys in skinny jeans were.
i remember the singer from kasabian told them he likes jurassic 5 and one of them let out this big laugh like "haha, black people music!"
I remember a TV show with different panels of musicians discussing who should win what NME award
and Pete Doherty was on the panel, as was one of them, in a Babyshambles t-shirt. So try hard.
One of them now manages Florence and the Machine...
true fact?
'Fraid so
http://badfeministuk.wordpress.com/2010/10/07/queen-of-noise-mairead-nash/
You know the Queens of Noize released a single?
I only found this out recently. It's pretty special.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErUJAJs--dA
My god that's bad
Remember Sikth?
Scent Of The Obscene = tune
They would have done far better had they waited for the djent scene to catch up. And possibly if they had written some more memorable stuff...
they had some pretty memorable tunes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-BzWuc16GE
Does anyone remember
Protokoll, or is it just me?
Got there mini-album 2006, not heard a thing from then since.
Also, Team Waterpolo?!
YES
I only know Protokoll because I lived in Boston. Last year, the band reunited for two shows. The band members flew over from all over the place, rehearsed for a day, then put on two shows over two nights. It was awesome.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwyZwAVCz5g&feature=related <--- This song = my first couple of years living in Massachusetts. /nostalgia
I remember Team Waterpolo!
I think I've got 'Letting Go' on 7". Great song.
Remember Born Ruffians?
Just saw them on my iTunes. Definitely listened to one song only, which was OK at best. Like a shit Vampire Weekend. Who got boring quickly.
Red, Yellow & Blue
remains one of my favourite albums of the 2000s. I don't think there's a bad song on there as long as you can cope with the yelpy singing voice. They're recording a third album at the mo.
the four tet remix of 'i need a life'
is fucking amazing
best thing anyone in that band ever did
was Luke Lalonde's cameo on 'Jamelia' by Caribou...but Dan Snaith's a genius, so I'm not sure that works as a derogatory comment re: Born Ruffians.
quite like the first record, actually.
remember Straw?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwOqyjOc4OU
Probably best not to
actually this one sounds a bit like yuck
http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=Yto9yCL6_co
I quite like this acually. Reminds me of my youth.
Does Dom Joly have something to do with this band?
I have at least three e.p.s by them
b-sides all better than a-sides
Anyone remember Art Brut?
Bad luck if you do
get the fuck out
Anyone else remember
Hillman Minx?
Ooberman?
magic treehouse
worst album title since onka's big moka
...which came out a month previously
Combine the two:
Hoobastank
Hillman Minx
Now thereby hangs a tale with an unresolved ending, in that as far as anyone seems to know they put out one single that Mark and Lard loved, were shoved onto the end of a Hanson bill at Wembley and were never heard of again.
Remember Len?
They sure stole my sunshine. But don't worry, I'll just follow Uncle Kracker and get it back. EARLY NOUGHTIES FUN FOR ALL.
One of Broken Social Scene was in Len.
True.
And the main guy in Len was in Sum 41.
No one is going to read this reply and so no one will find out that astonishing fact.
i read it
it's wicked
Remember Flobots?
I can ride my bike with no handlebars...
Remember the King Blues?
I wish I didn't.
horrible band
the same King Blues headlining The Roundhouse this week?
Who remembers...
Campag Velocet?
Mansun?
The Murder of Rosa Luxemburg???
But Mansun were good...
Bands mentioned here aren't necessarily bad!
Agree that Mansun are legendary/high-profile enough to not really warrant a mention though
Burning Brides
YOU'RE COLDER THAN AN ARCTICCCC SCHNOW
Spotify Playlist?
don't remember them
(WAHHHEYYYYY)
Remember Engerica?
They were ACE.
They were indeed
.. they were very different. Liked them a lot.
3 GOOD 3 BAD
Reuben
Rogers Sisters
Elle s'appelle
Empire Of The Sun
Golden Silvers
Ida Maria
Elle S'appelle were GREAT
LOVE this
http://youtu.be/zugno-YHWho
frankmusik and esser both had one good song. only one.
I'll do the Spotify playlist then
And you can sit alone in your museum crying that no one came.
Thanks a fucking lot for reminding me :(
Esser is still around
supporting Tom Vek on his next tour I think...
Remember Forward Russia?
This thread has brought up many bands who i've got 1st/2nd singles on cd or 7"'s, going back to when my local hmv used to sell a fair bit of vinyl, and most 7"s were 99p or £1.99 and i'd normally go in on a Monday morning and buy 3 or 4 records cos I read a half decent review online (or in artrocker) I'm now all im left with is a big pile of records and cd's of bands who never really lived up to any hype and to be honest were pretty bad.
Yes ^This
So many bands around 2004-2005 were overrated crap that DiS and others peddled loads. Seems to be a little less now for some reason but a few years ago it was all shit tiny bands that were shit getting worshipped.
Forward, Russia
were, and still are, brilliant.
Totally
Forward Russia still get a lot of loving from my stereo. I remember seeing them around 5 or 6 times in the space of about 6 months back in 2004/5, seemed to be supporting bands I was going to see or playing gigs I could easily get to.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DusM35Wj9bE
Black Kids
Quickest bandwagon jump-on/bandwagon jump-off transition of any band I'm aware of
Bono Must Die
I know it's really pathetic to do this "I know a guy..." thing with forgettable bands
But I "know a guy" who went to school with the lead singer.
Reportedly once said "If Kele Okereke wasn't around, we'd be the novelty race band"
Also, a gigantic douchebag.
And I've never even heard their songs - I just know they used to be one of *those* bands who wore their own band shirts...
Am I right in thinking they became O Children?
Yes, you are.
Well, 2 of them did.
Three Colours Red
Oh yeah and... Stellastarr*
I love that first album but it all went downhill from there. By album 3, nobody cared.
Cable
Haven
Kill Kenada
The Holiday Plan
Million Dead
Valve
The Vessels
yourcodenameis:milo
Vex Red
The Thrills
Tetra Splendour
People In Planes
Longview
Still going
Finishing the last 6 tracks of their new album this month, apparently.
ycni:m were well good.
Dur-de dur dur de durdur de dur dur dur
Here is the one that called out your name...
When Paul Mullen joined The Automatic...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmHE7ju_k24&t=2m19s
The singer from Million Dead is headlining wembley arena soon.
That still feels far too weird to type.
I hope he does Charlie And The Propaganda Myth Machine
Willy Wonka was a capitalist confidence trickster, a poster boy for neo-liberalism I CAN'T HEAR YOU WEMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEHH!
I'd imagine he might do Smiling At Strangers On Trains
Plays it fairly regularly, or did.
Haven
play their local pub on a regular basis. I used to live around the corner from the pub and they always had a poster up for them. I remember Say Something being a decent tune, but that was it
posted this the other day
http://killkenada.bandcamp.com/
:o
Might be the only one
.. liking album number 3 :(
Amanda Tannen still plays a mean bass - that first track 'Robot' is a cracker.
I think they should let her play and sing .. a lot!
Oops!
That refers to Stellastarr :)
Yeah, I've always been a fan
but Tannen now plays in some band called The Morgues (I think) and they're well good.
I Love You but I've Chosen Darkness
what happened to them?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD6VgRUE1y0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw1T9sQ5gBU
I went to see them live!
Nothing since 2006. Bah.
This thread proves that playing music is a mugs game.
Yet probably half of us still do it.
A lot of these bands
still had a few decent years in the limelight and probably toured some interesting places and left behind some records that people still love. Kind of thankful they haven't all trundled on like The Twang/The Kooks etc and still take up valuable space on the internet, infinite as it is
Remember Towers of London?
Didn't they dick on the Sex Pistols?
HEY GUYS... Remember The Cooper Temple Clause?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
lol right
Large parts of the first 2 albums still bang. They never matched the first track on the first album though (maybe the last track on that album pushes it close)
Remember the Long Blondes?
Then you might be interested in Kate Jackson's debut solo single, produced by Bernard Butler to his usual smothering standards, which has just appeared: http://soundcloud.com/katejackson/sets/kate-jackson-wonder-feeling-the-atlantic
Remember the Electric Soft Parade?
Remember Chikinki?
Remember the Division of Laura Lee?
ESP aren't technically over
although Thomas White is releasing the best music of his career as a solo artist, so I'm not really concerned whether they do officially reform under that name with its associated expectations. Alex White is in T's touring band so you still get the ESP experience, just with better songs!
They're tour supporting British Sea Power at the moment
with an album next year.
This made me go to their website
and they're actually on a headline tour in between supporting BSP! So going to the Sheffield date...been years since I last saw them.
ESP's first album was pretty decent
but never heard much from the rest. They're better in Brakes anyway.
2nd album and Human Body EP are their best work IMO
Brakes, less so. But I can see how you'd think that after only hearing HITW which has about 3 stone-cold stunners (opener and the two long ones) and a load of slightly callow jauntiness
Silent To The Dark is a high-point of recent British indie
remember the Subways
Remember (i)Forward(,) Russia(!)?
:(
Great band.
Saw them several times in Leicester and had a T-shirt.
Shame they didn't make ALL their songs like 'Eleven'
Not enough ambition
Really?
Always thought Life Processes was an ambitious record
ok maybe you win this one
as I've only heard the debut :P
good call....
Andrew Stockdale's been reduced to stealing guitars from people, invading stages, and getting kicked out of Brisbane dive bars...

My Vitriol
I used to post soo much on that forum. They really didn't have much after the first album. Great band though.
Also, Little Hell, which probably not many people know of. I LOVED that band and told everyone about the,
Little Hell!
Virus With Shoes! Great tune.
Remember....
My Awesome Compilation
Reuben
YCNI:M
Hundred Reasons
The Music
A
Agent Blue....yeh some of these have been mentioned, but are worth repeating
Reuben
loved that band so much when they were going.
Remember Tim Ten Yen?
Pop music in the best sense.
If I wasn't lost in 93 East Street looking for the toilets, I wouldn't have wandered into a back room where Tim was finishing a set. The five minutes that I saw was enough to impress me. Went to his album launch gig in...Oct 2008? Great gig and what a showman. He would have been great on tv.
He's still going
Remember Ladyhawke?
Next release due March 2012 apparently
Youthmovies
Still can't believe I managed to get tickets to their last show and it was the first time I'd seen them at their own show.
They were so good and the round setting was awesome. One of them was so drunk though, can't remember who.
Lowgold?
remember The Ctrl + F Function?
The Sunshine Underground.
thirteen senses

this band always had pretty good intros/verses and then just the dullest choruses
Du Hast
Wtf happened to Rahmstien...
changed their name
remember
The Stills?
they had a least one really good song...maybe two. bit like *stellastarr. bit like a lot of these bands.
"lolaaaaa...lolaaaaaa...der ner ner ner something doooo"
it was good, I just can't remember the rest of it.
this thread reminds me of listening to Zane Lowe because I didn't know any better.
also...remember the Golden Virgins? as their name suggests, better than The Virgins, as far as bands with 'virgins' in goes.
(that could be the set up to a joke!)
what
one really good song.. maybe two
on their second album.
The first album, Logic Will Break your Heart, was a classic..!
Longview
Longcut
Oh i love there first album, see them in Norwich, one of my favourite gigs ever.
Their first album, THEIR!
Johnny Truant
I'll add to the list asking if you remember Reuben. They were awesome.
The Ghost Frequency
Remember Serafin?
I thought they were good for 5 minutes.
Clor.
Damn it
Started reading this thread from the top, thought of lots of what I thought were great bands and every single bloody one of them had been mentioned except for...
King Adora! Saw them supporting Mansun and you know that thing you read about where the support band blows the main band out of the water?
This was the exact opposite.
Upon re-reading my post I may have falsely given the impression that I thought King Adora were somehow a 'great band'. This has been achieved through poor wording and lack of attention to detail.
I actually thought King Adora were an utterly appalling band. Thanks.
somebody has had a change of heart
I don't know what to believe anymore
Well, that's me all over...
... Adding complexity... Challenging established thinking... Writing garbled posts on music forums.
I will stick my neck out and say that I thought Mansun were massively underrated; their first two albums anyway. Excellent live. But not - and I repeat this for emphasis - not King Adora.
Man I loved Babybird
L-Fi recordings is in my top 50 ever. I played those five albums to death about 12 years ago. Strangely I just found out yesterday they have a new album out today called The Pleasures of Self Destruction and I ordered it immediately.
ex-maniac had a few great tracks too
Remember Goldie Lookin' Chain?
ADAM
your mother's got a penis
Johnny Boy
Davo (the bloke) is now tech for Weller's band, I was told not long ago
I know there's an album that came out two years later, but greatest one-shot band ever.
Prefered their early stuff.
All a bit mainstream now.
...
Not quite a remember band. But what the fuck happened to Lovvers?
they got a bit old
They had a song on a Nokia advert some time this year.
I'm guessing they've split now.
Remember Le Tigre...
Back up a bit now
There are plenty of the former group you describe still around, a majority even. And I'm not just pandering.
Ctrl+F 'Mull Historical Society'
FOR FUCK SAKE GUYS;

Remember Jakobínarína?
Remember The KBC?
Preston's finest.
Saw them about two years ago playing the second floor of shite "megaclub" Lava Ignite in front of about ten people. Heard they were big in Japan though?!
Just looked up Fleeing New York for the first time in about 5
years....apparently they're called Band of Skulls now! I've actually heard that name, so not too shabby...
Hollywood Bowl:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RGWkl09Qwg
Also, Apartment:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9U2Ps9dQmw
Bit harsh seeing The Stills, Stellastarr*, The Caesars, etc. on here. Genuine contenders/darlings for a while.
Remember Goodbooks?
Whitey
Remember Elle Milano?
I liked
Elle Milano were a gooden
Remember Atomic Kitten?
Smoosh.
Remember the Pipettes?
Oops, pressed enter too soon there.
Anyway, apparently they released a second album last year. Who knew.
Remember Les Incompetents?
oh god and The More Assured?
and Kid Harpoon
and Late of the Pier
and Cajun Dance Party
and so many more from a certain time around 2006...
Remember the Kayas.
R.I.P. :(
We'll be waiting :(...for them to reform.
Copperpot Journals?
I've got Plotting to Kill Your Friends
That was a good album
Pilots is worth a go as well.
Never saw them live though – for me they're one of those bands you regret not seeing live when they were still around. Not sure I'd want them to reform though, might spoil things.
Remember Passion Pit?
22/20s
remember hal?
two of my favourite pop songs of the decade on a properly good album
