Towers of London: the cuckin funts get arrested

is it me or does anyone else find septic clit unfunny? yeah sure towers' are a bunch of fuckwits but i thought this kind of humor became extinct the day melody maker shut down? personally when it comes to writing news i think one should abide by the old adage 'just the facts jack' and nothing more. no one wants your opinion just tell me the news.

This band are brilliant at PR. I've never, ever heard them and yet I know the entire history of their various "outrageous" antics...

Quit giving them news stories for god's sake. Maybe if we ignore them they will piss off?

AMGibbons - You wrote the previous article, thus helping the aforementioned press officer with his 'easy project'.
Why the surround change of mind?

The reason I wrote the original article wasn't to help the press officer (although it clearly does) but because I just knew that loads of DiS readers would get all worked up and write loads of comments about ToL. I was right wasn't I? We got shitloads of hits for that story, and it was picked up, nay lifted, by the local media who had a field day with it in a very slow news week.
I never said ToL were fuckwits originally but by christ they are if only because they've now vandalised two venues which can ill afford to replace expensive equipment (the first was southampton joiners), and in the case of APU, assualted (alledgedly) security staff who are probably just students trying to make some beer money. Oh and I should imagine the promoter would have had to answer a few questions from APU about why he booked ToL in the 1st place if he knew they had a 'reputation' (did Greenmind know? I feel sorry for them if they didn't).
The only problem with me writing said story is it now generates more publicity, means more people are going to go to their gigs to see if anything kicks off, and some people might even buy the bloody single which I've now inadvertently plugged.
Bugger.
I haven't had this much fun writing for this site in ages! :)

Just proves the old adage that there's no such thing as bad publicity.

I made a mistake in booking them. I knew they had a rep, but not that they would risk electrocution of themselves and the audience. The odd broken mic stand is one thing, this was something else.

"is it me or does anyone else find septic clit unfunny?"

pathetic and embarrassing for the site too. i hate attention seeking twats who go out of their way to try to offend. just what is the point?

apparently one of them had a fight with alan mcgee at death disco once, when he pulled him out of the dj booth to tell him he loved him...

so i don't know if it's an act or if they ARE meatheads.

I noticed they were playing Glasgow. I've never heard of them, who the fuck are they?

They sound rubbish.

Maybe they'll grow up. Trail of Dead went through a period of barely getting 20 minutes into any show before screwing up.

Then all that would be left is the music. Apart from one song I've heard (which was OKish), is it any good?

The local press were there. They didn't "lift" nuffin.

Rubbish.

Well I think ToL are fukin awesome, great fun to watch, obviously a bit tounge in cheek, its a show. Although I can understand promoters having nervous moments!

it's a cock rock punk panto is what it is.

oh, and why has nobody mentioned patricks singlet 'you're not god' ha ha classic!

I'd take the panto hairspray Towers of London over Ugmo Hawkins and the Shitness anyday.
There's ugly and then there's ugly and then there's vile.
I think we all know which category Ugmo fits into.
And now on that disgusting note, I'm going to be sick.

the point is attention and causing offense, surely?
towers of tossers are embarassing and pathetic too, so if they need to be covered to defuse the mainstream press, i'd much prefer DiS did like this. Bravo.

in case anyone still cares donny was up before the beak today and the case is now adjourned until March. Check out the link if only for the photo: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cambridgeshire/4268141.stm
he don't look so hot without the make up does he? :)

>RFTC would kick the shit out of these tossers.

I'm not a violent person but from everything I've been reading, I've come to the conclusion that I'd personally pay to watch Speedo take them out one by one.

there an awesome band....

"there an awesome band...."

I assume you are talking about RFTC? Cos they are! Haven't seen em live but would love to.

they pulled the lights off the ceiling at the white horse too, although somehow they got away with it, the stagehand had to stand near the stage holding it up in the air for about the last ten minutes of the set so that it didnt fall off completely or onto the audience.

i thought they were mindless good fun.
