Domino's 'liability' band are not splitting and announce another tour and single
Despite siginificantly less-than-rave reviews of their current sold-out headline tour and a seeming hatred of their own music, East London spazz-rap-metal three-piece Test Icicles are not on the verge of splitting.
Eldest of the trio, Rory is quoted as saying, "we are on a sold out UK tour then onto sold out dates in Europe and America with a new single and UK tour in April. Then maybe some festies, after that who knows, depends if anyone¹s still interested!"
The as yet undecided new single is released around the time of the following tour dates:
April
18 Glasgow Garage
19 Sunderland Manor Quay
20 Manchester Academy 2
21 Coventry Colosseum
22 London Astoria

Test Icicles
maybe people should start paying entry to their gigs
with monopoly money then?
y'know. just cos it's all a joke and that.
Yeah, its really funny!
To quote jonnaton yeah?, "idiots think its cool, clever people think its a joke, therefore also cool".
Even funnier is the blustering outrage of the people who go to their gigs and then complain furiously of 'awful sound' and the 'terrible performance'. So, what your actually saying is that you're an idiot? Have you ever read/heard anything by this band before and understood it? Clearly not. Joke's on you fuckwits! They just took your cash! A-ha-ha!
If this band gets you all hot under the cllar like a daily mail reader in waiting then you may as well wear a sign round your neck saying 'I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE JOKE'.
die etc.
"hey this isn't really a performance"
"i know..it's a fucking sham."
"you're really funny"
'meaning to be shit' is a rubbish excuse for actually just being really shit.
I think Eddie Argos
was thinking about the Test Icicles when he Formed A Band.
but then consider a second
that on record theyre really fucking brilliant, and that quite often live they frickin slay...
I
took back their album and brought Life Aquatic instead on DVD.
YUS.
They're playing the Astoria? Fucking hell...
exactly.
which just makes their shortcomings even worse by comparison.
the cardiff show was the fourth and worst time i've seen them, and i'm pretty sure they've got worse each time as their egos have inflated massively.
re: Test icicles like Nathan Barley
Scene Kid: "I think Test Icicles are like the best thing I have ever heard."
Other Kid: "Whats the second best thing?"
Scene Kid: *pause*..."Heidi."
Other Kid: "Was Heidi, a band?"
Scene Kid: "I reckon."
it was always a joke
they started off as a joke.
it just backfired when they got signed after their third gig or something.
then had to follow it up with a bunch of songs and tours.
jokes on them too.
