I don't understand

the buzz about these guys, especially their live show, it's dull and soulless.

saw them last night

supporting Tily and the Wall. They took the ill advised step of inviting a girl from the audience to come on stage and sing, which resulted in five mancunian ladies staggering on and tottering about for the full song, not singing at all, because they didnt know the words. The singer got very angry at this point, and removed them (with a small degree of force) from the stage, and shouted 'Way to ruin the song girls, you're VERY COOL'. The atmosphere soured at this point as you may guess........

Hmmm

Can see these lot dividing opinion in the same way Klaxons did about a year back...which should help their quest for popularity. Some of their stuff is ok mind.

Digital is the old Zap place on the seafront (if you didn't know).

By the way I think they're an awful, tacky band with not an iota of originality.

yeah i saw them supporting Tilly & the Wall

in London last night and they were terrible.

it was weird though, some people were really into them. I couldn't work out if they'd brought a load of mates over from France or if the NME has told people to like them and a handful are obeying.

They're nice enough

on record.

Live they're the worst thing I've ever seen.

When I saw them they invited a girl on stage for Homecoming. She must have been all of 14. The lead singer leched at her all the way through.

I felt like calling the police or something.

^Agree with this^

Saw them perform in Birmingham this week, my thoughts..
Everybody was absolutely w*nking off over Homecoming. It is a good song and the inviting of girls on stage, I too, felt uncomfortable with this. Luckily, the two girls knew the words. Quite embarrassing if you dont. This song/band are still relatively new, very ambitious of them expecting people to know the lyrics.
All in all they seemed to please, what the all of about 40 people in the audience, but after playing about 6 songs, i’m gonna give them a big hmmm....

Hmmmmmmm
