Laconia make London debut
- Artists:
- Laconia »
Durham based up and coming rock band Laconia will grace the capital with their heart-stopping rock n roll when the band, who pay homage to the likes of Seafood and the Manics, play at West One Four on Thursday 16th May.
The doors open at 8pm and entry will cost you £5 with a flyer, to be found here
. The band are joined on the night by Drug Dealer Cheerleader, Neon Bomb and Loose Threat
When considering the fact that one writer commented that Laconia had "songs that could stop conversations and a singer whose voice could stop wars" this is one gig you really don't want to miss.

Funny that really James, as you said some very un-complimentary comments about Laconia after their bridge gig and now your licking their ring pieces!
You are a sterotypical student muso just looking for whats 'in' and whats going to be 'cool'.
I pity you mate as people like you ruin the real music industry by liking fashionable music and not liking talented bands for the real music and musical talent. That totally fucks me off, Laconia are a good band but they dont deserve to be arse licked by you like we were as we all know where it leads.
Before you say it, its not jealousy in the slightest as Its good to see local bands doing stuff in and outside this area as we are and I wish them the best of luck as its fucking hard work.

Re: Laconia make London debut
I hope that wasnt directed at me Scott, as you are the last person on earth at the moment who should criticise others. My comment was made towards James Kimmets Actions not yours or Laconia's. If anything Im trying to do you a favour pal so dont fucking give me that. I have held no grudges and I dont now, only with journalistic twats. If I was you Id re-write your words very quickly.
Re: Laconia make London debut
Really Quiet Scary, funny that like coming from psycho Scott.
Re: Laconia make London debut
fuck that scott!!
sorry and that but james kimmet is a fucking nob end, sy was only trying to warn u off him!!
did u not know about all the shit that he filled us with, then totally fucked us off. hes a two faced little prick and if i ever see him again ill fuck him up big style
oh and by the way (not stiting here) he did actually make a few degrading comments about laconia

Re: Laconia make London debut
i wasn't 100% convinced by laconia after the gig at the bridge hotel but uncomplimentary comments? started to kiss their arses?! did you even read the review?
and frankly, most of the time it was just tiresome having to put up with your personal vendetta against Scott.
oh, and what on earth is "fashionable" about Laconia ?

Re: Laconia make London debut
look, kat ... i was quite impressed by your demo and quite liked the challenge of booking a big UK tour. i gave you a gig supporting MBA and you were crap. i pulled out, the whole thing was a stupid mistake on my part and i felt bad about it ..
Re: Laconia make London debut
ach, just grow up for fuck's sake .. or should i just reply with the killer blow?
that you can't sing for shit and your band peddle substandard My Vitriol b-sides ?

Re: Laconia make London debut
do me a favour and take this somewhere else, i've already been accussed of taking sides and I tell you this now...I won't...this argument has nothing to do with Laconia the other members ain't even seen the messages..i sent messages out explaining i had nowt to do with this and you should all understnd why im keeping out of this...i have been to countles Atari doll gigs and vise versa theres no reason why I should have owt against the band as a whole or at any level. u have my number let me know whats happening over the next few days cos i'll be away but i do want to know.
Re: Laconia make London debut
you are so full of shit. D'ya know what, when i first met u i thought 'god he's really canny'. but in the back of my mind i always had the thought 'he don't know what the fuck he's talking about'. Don't give me that shit about not being able to sing, i know i can sing, otherwise how would i have been in a chamber choir singing soprano for about three years when i was younger. Just face it petal u fucked up big stylee, you don't have a clue about booking and running gigs let alone tours, you just lead us on knowing all along you were gonna drop us in it.
look scott, im sorry but how did i know that wern't you.
look scott, im sorry but how did i know that wern't you.
Re: Laconia make London debut
right i think i have it figured now
some1 confused me for scot laconia
and i confused james k or my friend james jam
thats it i think.
alas, atari doll do not like james due to a long running incident that i feel is not correct to detail here i was mearly sticking up for kames jam (not james k who i have no idea whi he is)
right sorry for any misunderstanding
also its not very smart to threaten people over the net sy!
regards
scott (not laconia)

ohhh and kat
putting derogatory comments regarding people sexuality is not clever ... i find it very offensive
Re: Laconia make London debut
Check your mail Scott, dont worry about it just thought you ought to know. And as for James's posts I havent even bothered reading them as I choose to ignore people like him.
Re: Laconia make London debut
And you cant write mate, why dont you do us all a favour and fuck off down south and lick the ring pieces of the bands you fucking always talk about. If they are so great go and tell them that on a daily basis.
Re: Laconia make London debut
At the end of the day James you make yourself out to be VERY 2 faced. Take a step back from time to time and then it doesnt look like you string bands along by praising them and then saying ah your shit. And as for you thinking we are shit I think you will find we are far from it. But then again you wouldnt get off your arse to come see us so fuck you, you cant make accusations from one gig.
Re: ohhh and kat
Look mate do yourself a favour and kindly fuck off, that shit happened ages ago, and we thought it was Scott (Laconia) because he was there on that awful night. We had no idea there was another Scott. I dont even talk to James Jam so stop trying to start crap. And as me being threatening, If I met you Id probably do it to your face you faggot.
Re: Laconia make London debut
Personal Vendetta? er yeah right Mr Kimmet I really do have a personal vendetta...........against 2 faced pricks and arse licking. I have nothing against Laconia or any other band, I have utmost respect for any band that gets up there to do anything. But for wank shafts like yourself to just stand there and tell ppl how shit a band is after one gig takes the fucking piss. Fuck off Im sure no one will miss you when you have. Indeed I will throw a party and a gig at the cumberland arms!
Re: ohhh and kat
why use homophobic launguge ?
are you homophobic?
are you scared of people who are gay ?
granted i admited that i made a mistake regarding that i thought you were talking about james jam and i said sorry about it but there is no need to use abusive and homphobic launguage

Re: Laconia make London debut
Anyway enough of this board bashing, Good luck to Laconia in London Im sure you will show them how its done :)
Re: Laconia make London debut
Sy, if i came to another one of your gigs you'd probably try to kill me
two facedness ...
come on, Sy, you're fooling no-one. you HATE laconia, you think they're not "cutting edge", you think they can't play their instruments and you hate Scott. i wish i'd kept that e-mail you sent me after they were confirmed as support to MBA at the Ropery, y'know, the one where you said "let it be known that I hate Laconia".
Re: Laconia make London debut
You haven't read them? Why do you reply to posts you haven't read? Isn't that a bit stupid?
Laconia make London debut
Oh for fucks sakes. Sy, why is it that wherever you seem to go on the net, you offend people, stir up arguements and are generally rude and immature?!
I know for a fact that James didn't purposely let you lot down with the whole tour thing. In fact, he was really bothered and worried about it. He spoke to me on MSN and was really very concerned about upsetting you. The fact is, after seeing you live for the first time, he was genuinely so unimpressed and dissapointed that he didn't want to be associated with promoting a band he didn't believe in. Don't believe it was easy for him, or that he took pleasure in it, because I know it was a really hard thing for him to do.
I don't want to get into another arguement with you Sy because it really is so frustrating. It's a shame you have to take this attitude with everyone because I have to say that Atari Doll are the first band I have ever known to have more people hate them than like them before they've even really achieved anything.
If you're serious about making it as a band, I really think you should re-think the way you deal with people, because this spoilt brat, always-get-what-i-want attitude isn't going to win anyone over.
KPxx

Re: ohhh and kat
Wow!!! Look at the big hard man! Feel his big hard muscles! Examine the shape of his curiously big hard head! And then marvel at the size of his strangely small brain.................
Re: Laconia make London debut
KP you just seem to get involved with stuff that has NOTHING to do with you whatsoever. You seem like a meddler, someone that cant stand not to be involved with all the things that are going on. Come to the barfly June 11th but dont start the shit on here, seems like some of the writers at DiS need knocking on the head by Mr Sean Adams very quickly as they think they are better than they are.
Re: ohhh and kat
Look at the cowardly twat who cant use their own name as they are soooooo cowardly!! Fucking arse hole.
Re: Laconia make London debut
Any more comments please take it to our forum on our site as this is not fair on Laconia that the writers at DiS seem to want to argue with bands so be it but it has to stop on here.
haha
you say that as if it wasn't you that came on here and launched a personal attack on me.
why don't you post some more messages asking whether or not I "take it up the batty hole" ? Why do you always resort to a 9-year old boy's playground humour, Sy ?

Re: haha
sy or members of atari doll never did answer me whe i asked why they had to use homophobic launguage and threats?
why do u ?
why do u ?
Re: Laconia make London debut
You started it, mate.
You clog up these boards with your mindless drivel.
And then you have the cheek to tell us to ignore it.
The only one needing knocking on the head is you, mate.
Don't reply to this. Just go away.

Re: haha
Ok then James if you cant take that how about in person as Im sure you wouldnt dare as you are just a snivelling coward that hides behind a computer and some 2 faced bollocks he writes about bands on a website. How about we talk or argue about this in person if you dont like my methods?
Re: Laconia make London debut
No I reply to this as it has to be said you are also a retard who seems that just because you write on here gives you some sort of power trip. Get over yourself Raz, yeah I liked your review of our demo but it doesnt give you the right to talk to me or anyone else the way you do. How about you fuck off? Leave Laconia's forum as its not fair on them, but then again you are a bunch of selfish bastards who want to have a go.
Re: haha
Oh fuck off and get a life stupid mackem, we arent homophobic but we a fed up of fuckwits like yourself
oh dear ..
sy, i don't want a fight with you and being bigger than me (or having a big brother) doesn't strengthen your argument at all.
Re: Laconia make London debut
That wasn't a power trip. I was merely pointing out that you shouldn't really start fights at random. Same as on the other message board.
If you despise us all so much, you don't have to come here at all. We won't mind. Uninitiated slagging off is not really what we want round here.
This is it from me, you'll be pleased to hear. I'm tired of your endless abuse to anyone and everyone, which seemingly ends nowhere. Reply if you like. You can reply 5 times if that's what you want.

Re: haha

Re: haha
