Have Cable reformed?!

dan_thw [Edit] [Delete] 127 replies 01:34 June 26th, 2012

Hundred Reasons and Hell Is For Heroes are doing a couple of reunion shows and the band first on is listed as Cable. THE actual Cable?! I mean, I loved HR and HIFH when I was a kid, and would enjoy listening to them now but surely Cable are above this?!

http://hundredreasonsband.tumblr.com/post/25886543414/november-2012-shows

Bit of a weird one to reform for two shows as a first on at a show where I can't imagine there is a huge fanbase crossover, but yeah. Thoughts?

It looks like they are. Excellent news.

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

When I was a teenager I was a very big Hundred Reasons fan.

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.

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!

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.

  - Sublingual is great
    
    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.

- Take your pick. Never wrote a dud song, b-sides v.much included.
  
  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.

So so good, but so so short...!

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.

        Yeah it all ground to a halt after Song 1
        
        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.

        In my never ending campaign
        
        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.

        May well have been him.
        
        If he stayed in a hotel with holes in the walls and bleach stains on the hall carpets that is.

        Ahhh
        
        The Rangemoor I presume?
        
        Hence why I stayed elsewhere. Massive hotel snob.

        No, Metro Inns Derby
        
        Clearly quite a Bristol contingent there.
        
        Hotel was a proper tip, never seen anything like it.

        Ha!
        
        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 sound was awful for Cable and Hell is for Heroes

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

great gig

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.

At least 40 people had their phones stolen at Forum

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.

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

They have teams

of people taking advantage of the moshpit to lift phones.

kolombia | 26 Nov '12, 17:00 | X | ^ This | Reply
- I had to leave halfway through HR's set
  
  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

Glad they actually searched a few people on the way out

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.

      Or similar.

- 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.

DeadJames and shadyadie this'd this
- Very much so
  
  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
  
  amyblue @nice_cookie | 11 Feb '13, 11:48 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - They played the setlist as planned, there's a pic of it on Facebook.
    
    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.
