The Dears: not fond of V Festival
Posted: 17 Nov '06, 17:46
They might have a sweet-sounding name, but Canadian indie-rockers The Dears are damn fine moaners when the mood suits.
The Bella Union-signed outfit - whose Gang Of Losers album is available from all good record stores at this very moment - recently played the Canadian version of the V Festival (remember a while back? Richard was all, like, "We're going global" and stuff?). They didn't much enjoy it.
Says the band's drummer, George Donoso III:
"It was horrible and by far the darkest, cheapest and most ghetto festival ever. It was just so gross. The treatment was terrible. The whole reason for the festival is to sell cellphones. It's awful. We'll never do a V-Fest ever again."
Didn't The Dears play Wireless this year, and the year before? Guess O2 are nicer than the evil mobile phone sellers at Virgin.
Donoso was speaking to Jam Showbiz. Is that like Heat, or something?

Did they not
play V here this year as well? Maybe they needed some time to work out how they stood.

these guys
are the biggest pack of whingers to come out of Canada since before the last thing to come out of Canada, in 1972.

they're
just useless pricks really aren't they
-
Ye Gads!
They have the audacity to complain and ergo are useless pricks...
God help us if you ever work in custormer services...
-
is this Heat or something???
-
Funny sort
of showbiz mag if that gets in, surely?
Then again it's Canadian showbiz...

Did
anyone read the singer V Peter Robinson in NME? He was such a humourless knobhead. I do quite like Lost In The Plot though.

"canadians"
.

it's not just this
I don't particularly like V either, but every time I read something on them they are either complaining about something or just being utterly homourless, particularly their lead singer. Crack a smile every once in a while guys, jesus.
-
humourless dullard they may be
but they're right

-
oh that's it
