Hard-Fi earn Bragging rights

Billy Bragg is to support Hard-Fi during the latter act's sold-out run at London's Brixton Academy.

The passionate, often-inspiring 'singer' (come on, it's not like he can hold so many notes) will play second fiddle to the Staines megastars from May 14th through until the 18th. His song 'Levi Stubbs' Tears' has previously been covered by the Richard-Archer-and-his-eyebrows-fronted indie outfit.

Archer said to NME.com a wee while back:

"I saw Billy Bragg play Reading and it has to be one of my all-time favourite shows. He held the crowd captivated: just him and an acoustic guitar. 'Tank Park Salute' leaves me in bits."

Please leave your suggestions for the best way to actually leave Archer in bits, physically, below.

that bill should be the other way up

but without hard-fi on it ... yeah, that'd make it an ace show.

shame

that none of hard-fi's influences show through in their music or lyrics.

I must admit

I listened to Stars of CCTV today for the first time in a couple of months and I have to say its quite a decent album.

Billy Bragg's voice... that's got to be an affectation, yeah... i just can't take it seriously - i know people from Tottenham, they don't sing like that...

Tank Park Salute...

is one of the most beautifulest songs i've ever heard... maybe that Archer bloke should listen to it again and see the futility (not to mention SHITNESS) of his own music.

Billy Bragg supporting them?! Sick and wrong.
