Troubles in store following HOTS split
Posted:
That's not the band, there. It's some soldiers with their lil' pinkies up. No, not their wee willy winkies. Silly.
It's the closest we can currently get to an image of Troubles, a new six-piece comprised of exactly that many former members of acclaimed post-rockers Hope Of The States. Their MySpace currently has nowt but olde photographs on it. Silly!
The band - featuring Sam Herlihy, Mike Siddell, Michael Hibbert and Simon Jones of HOTS, as well as a gentleman called Joe and another named James - have a gig confirmed for December 4 at Manchester's Star & Garter, and are looking for gigs at the end of this month and the beginning of next.
Visit their MySpace page here to have a listen and get in touch if you can put the sextet on anywhere.

frustrating
HOTS *should* have been amazing; instead I couldn't abide them because of that voice.
It's not even "difficult" like, say Joanna Newsom or Billy Corgan - he just sounds like me when I was 16 and heavily into Oasis.
Seems like the smart thing would have been to reform as an instrumental band.

ignorance
tomddf: you really are an ignorant cunt...if you had bothered to actually listen to them you would have realised that troubles ARE an instrumental band...
and to mike diver...
"a new six-piece comprised of exactly that many former members of acclaimed post-rockers Hope Of The States"
actually there's FOUR former members of hope of the states in troubles, not six...seriously don't bother writing about a band you know fuck all about because you just end up looking like a twat...

Album
Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the double CD they were selling at the gigs last month? It was something like 27 tracks for a tenner, only I didn't have the cash on me at the time. Can't find any mention of it online though...
