They have a very vague website set up: http://www.derbymiserablistscable.com/

I would hope Cable are headlining...

The Forum seems a bit ambitious for Hundred Reasons. Hope Cable do their own London show

Apparently they were very close to getting Cable to reform years ago and open a couple of gigs but Hundred Reasons' label stopped it because they were worried it would over shadow Hundred Reasons. Would have been around the time of Hundred Reasons' second album.

Never thought this would actually happen.Unbelievable news. Still regularly listen to them.

But they are going to need to play some shows without Hungry Raisins and Symposium.

Cable wrote loads of damn fine tunes, sadly mostly ignored by the press at the time. I am actually going to have to get my arse down from Scotland to catch them as they were pretty special!

Curated by the Bellrays.

With Cable, Hundred Reasons, Glitterbox, Scarfo, Hell is for Heroes, The Glitterati, China Drum, CIV, Groop Dogdrill, Tom Hingley's The Lovers, Symposium playing their debut 7" in full, Wildhearts, Everclear. During the afternoon there will be guest lectures including Chris Evans talking about the history of TFI Friday and a debate with 3 Colours Red justifying why they were deemed big enough to headline the second tent at Reading Festival.

Banquet records just sold their 100 ticket allocation in 4 minutes

FUCK YES!

ticketweb and kililive (that HR linked to) sold out when I tried, but luckily stargreen still have some!!

http://stargreen.co.uk/music/hundred-reasons--playing-ideas-above-our-station--hell-is-for-heroes--cable_hmv-forum_33251

I got me 2 tickets. the killive site was showing sold out after 3 minutes! Didn't wanted seated tickets but managed to find standing tickets elsewhere

And now I definitely have. Oh well.

Best dig out the wallet chains/criminal damage jeans. \m/

I got dragged into a meeting and standing sold out :(

Gonna try and get some on scarletmist nearer the time

:D Going to be amazing!

IN MY STRIDE

<3

vs HR and HIFH fans. I think a lot will come out of the woodwork for this.

I just hope they finally get the adulation they deserve, see how badly they've been missed, how relevant they still are decide to continue!

Upgraded to Academy 1. Boo.

show getting moved to a bigger venue, says H/Reasons twitter

Fingers crossed. Will probably be Brixton or Hammersmith I guess?

Hate Hammersmith Apollo.

Where's the middle ground between Brixton and Forum- 3,000 capacity venue? There isn't one, is there?

also anyone remember Floor? HR pre-Larry

good call. let's hope for that.

Was also Kids Near Water's first gig. Think they were called Boxcar or something that night though.

:'(

or what we're yelling about

I was a big HR fan when they started out back in the day. The first time I saw them was supporting Idlewild at the Shepherd's Bush Empire.

Anyway, really hoping they'll also work Remmus into the mix as that's a favourite of mine.

Until this gig was announced I'd never heard of Cable. I downloaded their albums and love it. It's surprising how I actually haven't heard of these guys before.

Would be amazing if HR can manage to fill Brixton.

They announced a new date at The Coronet, which is an ace venue. Ticket on sale at http://www.coronettheatre.co.uk/events/hundred-reasons/.

Be quick.

Got standing tickets, good stuff.

I've heard "of" Cable but not heard much by them....where to start as I didn't realise they were quite as prolific as Amazon UK suggests???

I just downloaded all three albums but I do seems to enjoy Sublingual the most at the moment.

Standing tickets purchased. Gonna party like it's 2005

Sublingual was the most poppy.

When Animals Attack the most indie/razory/like a pop Fugazi

Downlift the Uptrodden the most visceral/loudest/rockiest

All amazing records in their own right.

1) Seventy
2) Blindman
3) Oubliette
4) Blue Birds Are Blue
5) Freeze The Atlantic
6) Ultra Violet
7) Song #1
9) Arthur Walker
10)Honolulu
11) Vertigo

Add God Gave Me Gravity to 7) and push Song #1 to 8)

A Cable playlist missing God Gave Me Gravity is a bad Cable playlist.

But they were starting to get a bit repetitive with their talky verse big sningy chorus' by then, plus the lyrics got a bit shonky. Brothers and Sisters though, now that's a tune.

we can all conclude that Cable are the biggest draw on this 3-date tour. We need headline dates in small, sweaty venues and a truck load of new Cable merchandise.

I can't believe IAOS is a decade old!

Quite a good place to sample a bunch of WAA tracks too.

My mate had this on VHS, we used to watch it all the time.

want to buy a ticket for the sold-out Saturday show? (Face Value) - as I'm now going to the Cable headline show in Derby on 21 Nov instead

Or was it Comprendez?

Ex. Cited. I knew I wouldnt have to go to the London show for 25mins to a bored crowd taking pics of each other at 6.45pm.

http://www.clashmusic.com/news/cable-discuss-their-reformation

^^ Matt Bagguley, innit.

For anyone going to see Cable in Manchester or London. There won't be any merch left as I am buying it all in Derby at the warm up show

They're the only band bar the unicorns left that I wanted to reform

How is this thread a month old, I'm slipping

Bit of a stretch to suggest that those gigs only sold out because of Cable though, in second support slot!

Perhaps I got a little bit caught up in the whirlwind. I should clarify, I did the interview.

hasn't sold out so I think you might have been swept along a little! I like it though, and it's an enthusiasm I share about the Derby Fugazi.

What?

for missing out on tickets to this.

Ideas Above Our Station and The Neon Handshake were my two favourite ever albums.

the Derby gig.

Excited.

http://www.hatchdmagazine.co.uk/music/interview-cable

at face value or close enough. Knock yourself out!

great.

SO FCKING EXCITED

should just ring the venue really

So, you know... get there before then.

doors: 6:30
Cable: 7:30
HIFH: 8:15
HR: 9:35

yesterday's gig was really great, the reception they got after their first song sounded like it was coming from a venue 10 times its size and you could tell the band were loving it. They were alot louder than I remember them, probably in the top 10 gigs ive been to

thanks

Only half an hour? I got a setlist and they had a plan for at least a 40 min set. I was a bit disgusted by that and left two songs into HIFH who I wasn't taking to anyway. Did bump into Matt in the lobby though and condensed the "arg, yer my hero, please do some more shows" into about two syllables and ran away. He was beaming ear to ear and looked like he was absolutely stoked by the response.

Richie's beard was amazing.

Cable was good. Very pleasant. I wouldn't call their set amazing, or even "OMG EPIC", as they just weren't lively enough on stage. I really enjoyed them though.

Hell Is For Heroes blew me out of the water though. They were crazy good live. It's a shame their debut album didn't get more exposure. It really is a gem.

Hundred Reasons were good too.

HIFH play a warm up gig in Kingston on Weds. Pretty brill gig.

HR - Exeter
HIFH - Kingston
Cable - Derby
?

Nice.

The Peel. He was singing upside down and standing on the ceiling at one point.

Hundred reasons not so good. Colin hasn't aged well.
Still a great gig though

For Cable to feel the need to apologise?

problems with sound.

So what do we reckon, more shows in 2013? they need to use those two new Blackstar amnps they clearly bought for these gigs again, right?

I reckon so.

for about ten minutes whilst they tried to fix a problem with Matt's guitar. Richie had a bit of a hissy fit and chucked his sticks on the floor.

They recovered but lost a few songs from the set (including Seventy which Matt played a brief bit of but quickly moved onto Oubliette.) Was a shame but I was in Derby and that really was the most special of nights.

Don't see why they won't do at least a few shows/festivals a year as this has been such a success.

totally stole the show. Absolutely brilliant.

For the words "split up" and "reformed" to be meaningless, they might as well just leave it out there with them as a thing that exists and then do a few things a year as you say.

Derby was really something right?

i'm pretty glad I made the 300 mile round trip, I thought before hand it might have been a bit much but it was totally worth it. I can't think of another gig that seemed so joyous, and had such a momentum. I saw them a fair few times back in the day but I honestly think they were on better form now then they were back then which is quite something seeings as they only had a couple of practices in 13 years. Went to the forum as well, thought it wouldnt be quite the same in a big venue but it worked just as well there.

Bristol road trip. Was great. Had no interest in the London shows, so was putting all my chips on that one gig, and was really fantastic.

put a right downer on the evening for me. HR were solid though.

JimmyHuntspill, did we meet in a lift the next morning?

I am pretty sure I didn't meet anyone in a lift, but you may have met my mate, as was in a different hotel to me. I think he may have chatted to a fellow fan or two.

If he stayed in a hotel with holes in the walls and bleach stains on the hall carpets that is.

The Rangemoor I presume?

Hence why I stayed elsewhere. Massive hotel snob.

Clearly quite a Bristol contingent there.

Hotel was a proper tip, never seen anything like it.

Cable/HIFH/HR were all fantastic (highlight for me was HIFH)

Downside: mate got his phone stolen in the pit.

Saw quite a few people looking for stuff at the end of the show, this seems to be fairly common now.

That was opposite the Rangemoor. It looked so awful - like a disused office block from the 60's with a temporary hotel sign over the door. Loved it!

I was in the Cathedral Quarter, 4 starring it up for not much cash. My locally sourced artisan breakfast with the papers in a massive empty ballroom was awesome. So peaceful.

The next day when my brother reported his to the police, he was the 24th person with the same issue. Out of the last 3 Forum shows I've been to, 2 of them ended with a pal having their phone stolen. Seems all the Forum have really done about it is put signs up warning people to be vigilant and printed off a form to write down theft victims' details.

but I'm pretty sure it just fell out of my pocket when i took my baccy out, rather than being stolen

of people taking advantage of the moshpit to lift phones.

is why one hand is on my mobile phone at all times

and got a thorough searching on the way out as they'd had reports of phones being nicked

Guess they can't do the same for everyone at the end but not sure what else they can really do

They certainly love doing it on the way in (when it affects their bar takings)

They could spend a little more on security and have a few 'plainclothes' people in the pit - or make an announcement before the main support/headliner to be vigilant - or put extra staff on at the cloakroom/reduce cloakroom costs to make it easier to stow your belongings and get them back quickly afterwards

All better options than slowly letting your venue get associated with regular theft and watching people head to gigs elsewhere instead.

Also, it's entirely possible that theft going unchecked on this kind of scale means someone on the inside too.

...according to their Facebook.

with facebook blocked at work, can you pleeeease give details?

Also: Yay.

"We might be about to announce a London show."

Or similar.

POSSIBLE LONDON SHOW COMING UP

It will be London only. and soon. and hopefully on a weekend so you folks can travel. We cannot tour I'm afraid.. But we didn't have chance to do london ourselves last week, so we're gonna put that right..

where to start with requests..!

The Garage. Tickets on sale friday.

http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4145962-%E2%80%9Cwe%E2%80%99d-all-love-to-write-new-music-it%E2%80%99s-just-a-question-of-how%E2%80%9D-dis-meets-cable

Can't wait to see them at the Garage. They were great supporting 100R at the Coronet.

Hope they have some tees at the show.

2 tickets for the Garage gig
£35 for the pair

cold pumas + the guy from Bivouac.

(re: that interview above - why has it taken 2 months to write?!)

oh yeh should probably ad an email for non-DiS users. it's turbogerbil@gmail.com

(re: interview - the DiS typing monkey probably broke a finger)

...but my wife had a baby, life got a bit crazy.

They were really spectacular. Really, really spectacular.

Was wonderful to see the Garage was sold out for the show, a very responsive audience and a band that were completely gobsmacked by the reaction. I did wonder whether they were a bit overwhelmed by it all as they didn't seem to have a setlist for the last third and they of course ran straight into the Garage's curfew and had to stop!

Hope that's not finito for them, there's obviously so much love for them to do something else it would be a shame for them not to.

Also, Cold Pumas won me over in the end even if they looked slightly odd :D

It was probably even better than the Derby show to be honest, so glad to hear Ultra Violet and Whisper Firing Line this time.

There were so many people with beaming grins in the crowd, brilliant atmosphere.

Frankly I was amazed that there were people who know every single word to every single song.
