Wow
The Fav will be rammed.
Yea
lets ruin the suprise and tell people via txt! 1...2....3 RAPE!
aaaaaand
rumour has it that Babyshambles are up to their old cancelling-things tricks once more.
hence why Franz are taking their place.
Glastonbury
looked pretty fun on the telly, I must say. Weather wasn't great, but in the 'hey its Glasto and the weathers a bit shitty, lets make the most of it!! hurrah!' way, not 'oh shit its all fucking wet' way... still, not enough bands to appeal to me.
Everyone seemed to be having a good time, anyway. Which is nice.
i tell you what
this performance was amazing.
i'm not even a big franz' fan but being down at the front for this whole thing at the park stage was truly special.
i
completely agree, they were ace.
my friend
was given a flyer by the bassist. It was hand drawn and ace.
The gig was also brilliant, new songs sound great. Kapranos has forgotten the words to the old songs though.
I am pleased that a band of this stature are able to do stuff like this. I think they will headline pyramid next year.
