Great thread.

  • yes, they were pretty much my favourite band for a time

    they should really stop being hipster folk fags and get back to playing to no-one at Brooklyn Waterfront:

    • its cool though because as long as they're not together I can keep ripping them off in my band

  • I could never totally get into them, not sure why but they

    always sounded a lot more boring/normal sounding indie ish to me, couldn't get what all the fuss was about.

      • What's the best album? May give them another go..........

        • I Was Born at Night just edges it for me...

          Strangers in our House is great too though.

          I could never really get into their final album (struggling to recall what it's called)

          • yeah, this

            last album was called The In Hour. It had a couple of decent tracks but was ultimately a flawed, early incarnation of what would become Woods

            Severed799 @Alex-in-Ciderland | 8 May '12, 12:59 | X
  • I never got to see them live...

    I remember mentioning that on here once and someone replied incredulously 'But they tour here all the time!!!'

    By 'all the time' they meant that they'd played the Hoxton Ferret & Spam Dagger twice in 18 months or something.

    Alex-in-Ciderland | 8 May '12, 12:32 | X
    • oh god me too

      I got into them about the same time as their last tour happened, there is a video of when they played Cambridge which would have been the show I'd have gone to and its incredible:

      (this is one of my favourite live videos on the internet)

      • I used to live 10 minutes from the Portland Arms...

        only ever saw dodgy punk bands like Goober Patrol there though

        Alex-in-Ciderland @Severed799 | 8 May '12, 13:03 | X
        • I played there with Maths once

          good venue

          Severed799 @Alex-in-Ciderland | 8 May '12, 13:07 | X
        • Portland Arms is my favourite venue bar none.

  • I have never heard of this band,

    but House of Cats above is fucking brilliant.

    Can't wait to get stuck in to their discography. :)

    • unfortunately there's not much of it

      but thats great to hear. They seem to be one of those bands that went dangerously unnoticed at the time but pretty much when anyone does discover them its a total revelation for them

      • I got I Was Born At Night.

        Listened to it once, and I absolutely love it.

        They remind me, in a way, or Elle Milano. Which is good, because Acres of Dead Space Cadets is one of my favourite albums.

        • gonna find out who that is

          just listened to IWBAN due to this thread, still great

    • This is actually what DiS is for...

      well that and as a distribution forum for LOLcats and nob jokes.

      • Radiohead

        Severed799 @Alex-in-Ciderland | 8 May '12, 13:37 | X
  • This aint dying that easily

    here's some other highlights:

    Bury A Flower: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgBqTR0Fdpc
    probably the band at their poppiest, the 7" version is really good as well and led to the kind of recording they used for the last album and Woods.
    Paint You: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq5humx6v9M
    which follows Bury a Flower and is a total barn-stormer, and:
    We Own, We Sell: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dipzuEYKpQ
    a highlight from the 3rd album

  • Listened to I Was Born At Night on the way home from work earlier...

    it must have medicinal qualities because today was rubbish, yet I arrived home happy.

          • sorry I'll start making some threads about other bands you may not know

            UNWOUND, Jawbreaker etc. etc.

            Severed799 @sweetverbs | 10 May '12, 01:14 | X
            • j/k

              • Okay.
