Gruff Rhys confirms that Okereke attack was unprovoked

Never liked Lydon anyway. I know it was mainly his 'entourage', still, don't like the man.

it was not lydon but one of his crew that said that.

Gruff > Lydon/Lennon

I am/was a fan of both the Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd and I'm not too keen on Bloc Party, so initially I was kind of hoping Kele's claims were somehow unfounded or at least exaggerated. Gruff, however, is an absolute fucking legend and probably the coolest, most talented bloke on the planet, so in my book whatever he says goes. Fuck John Lydon and his entourage of twats, long live Gruff Rhys! (and Kele too, although I still maintain that his band are boring)

Gruff seems like a pretty reliable witness. He always comes across as thoroughly decent.

for the official NATO peacekeeping ambassador of indie.

GOD

a very furry God at that.

but SUPER furry.

...although he didn't flinch an inch when I asked to have a photo taken of him and my monkey, and then didn't have my monkey with me (dammit). Thinking about it, maybe I wouldn't notice whether anyone else was a space cadet anyway...

well the first time i met him, (this is before just before chops was releasd) he'd just finished playing to about 6 people which is kind of a good reason to be a bit pissed off when every other date on that tour was more or less sold out

and some spanish security guys (who I'd previously imagined to all be gentle politically correct keepers of the peace) turned out to be racist and rather heavy handed.

Shrug.

but Gruff > 'Chops'

Gruff Rhys is legend!

as far as I know.

Chops > Yr Atal Genhedlaeth
Candylion > Miracle Inn

never...
