Athlete are a band. Sometimes, bands play shows, 'gigs' if you like. Athlete - a band, remember - are to play three 'gigs', one after the other, at the same venue. The venue is Koko in Camden, London. It is very red. I was there on Friday. The bus home was very busy.
Athlete's shows are as follows:

Athlete are shit
but are influencd by pavement, who are good.
FACT.
beige rock
I always wonder how and why this band manage to play cetain venues in sets of 3 and sell it out..another example Hard Fi @brixton...3 nights i say and sold out
They must drop
to their knees every day and thank whatever numb nuts deity that lost its marbles and gave them any sort of platform to peddle their truly dire crap
Shoot me down in flames
if you like but their first album is pretty good, and at the time one had high hopes for them as being London's answer to Grandaddy.
oh man
this band is so bad.
Grr is right
Look at 'em, in that picture. They're unhappy. Moody, even. You've got WIRES. UH. Going in. UH.
i really liked the first album as well
the second however was the biggest crock of shit of the past 5 years.
how saddening :(
Just one bomb.
That is all.
First album was quality
Second one not so quality. Let's hope they return to form.
When
I found out what Wires was about, it turned into a very very good song for me.
He's actually singing about something personal.
Okay but you have to make sure
that Snow Patrol are standing next to them at the time.
yep
I really liked the first album when it came out. I still rate Westside and You Got the Style.
First album is good.
Second album is absolutely dire. This makes me sad. I can deal with it though.
Agreed.
Not listened to the first album in ages, mind. Will stick it on now to see if it's stood the test of time, I think.
seconded.
No really, but then that second album..
You can almost hear the A&R guy saying 'do a coldplay'.
Small fact. I sold the singer from this band a chair when I worked in greenwich market.
I liked the first album
didn't bother with the 2nd
I really hope
that the new stuff is up to the standard of the first record. I love that album.
baby daughter
born prematurely if anyone wanted to know
I hate
everything they've ever done. And their faces.
I'd second that
I'd like to punch them in their faces. That'd give 'em something to whinge about.
what was the song
that ripped off 'carrot rope'? that was their best song. it was fucking shit.
