FROG's four funerals
If you care, you're likely to know already; but DiS thought it was worth bringing the last four FROG bills to your attention. It's not like we'll get the chance to again, is it?
June
9 Paramore
16 CSS DJ set and Captain Black
23 The More Assured
30 Kid Harpoon
FROGtots that's your lot. Here's the horse's epitaph:
"To our faithful mailing list, the rumo[u]rs are true. After three massive years, 200 bands and over 150 000 punters, London's favourite Saturday night indie club has decided its time to call it a day.
"It feels like the right time to move on. Our favourite band, Larrikin Love have split. Tony Blair's on his last legs and some idiot decided that you won't be able to smoke in clubs from this summer.
"June 30th will see the end of FROG as a weekly party. During our three years FROG has had some of today's biggest bands grace our stage. From our early days with sets from Babyshambles, Kaiser chiefs and Razorlight right up to recent gigs by Jamie T, Klaxons and CSS. FROG has been a coming of age gig for any band worth their swagger."
Ends...

FROG is absolute pap.
...
Not being funny yeah, but the night that replaces this will be identical.
Paramore?!
This band is terrible.
...
Not being funny, yeah, but every band that plays Frog is terrible. I thought that was the point.
grrrrrrrrrrrr
"some idiot decided that you won't be able to smoke in clubs from this summer."
Yes, that "idiot" happens to be trying to prevent unquantifyable numbers of people from contracting lung cancer and various other chronic lung diseases...
I hope that whoever wrote this FROG message doesn't end up spending the last 20 years of their life on oxygen and can't walk a metre without feeling breathless...... but if they do, they may understand the flippancy of this comment.
Use your brain a bit next time.
was that frog killed for the purpose of this article?
i'm not happy.
haha
they liked larrikin love too.
hehehe!
Well, I had to say it - considering my line of work, these kinds of things really rankle my giblets...
Just leave him be
he'll be alright in a few hours.
He's finding his way out of the hole.
Fuckin A
One less thing to avoid on a Saturday night. One less club to get chucked out of. One less club to play Smells Like Teen Spirit.
Oh and that Beans On Toast guy is rubbish, smoking kills for fuck sakes.
If the smoking ban
shuts down twat fests like FROG, then that is another reason to support it.
frog is ok
it's just like a mainstream chesse club but for indie music.
i've had some wicked nights in there. it doesn't deserve your venom. mostly because it has whiskey and coke for £2.

I loved it last summer. There was a really great atmosphere in there and I had some great nights there.
The last time I went, a few months ago, it was full of wankers who'd heard indie was cool these days and decided to come down and check it out, only to get aggressive when they wouldn't play 'Why Does it Always Rain on Me...'
Beans On Toast…
…is awesome.
