yey.
i thought they might decide to wqait an age to release a new album... i'm a bit gutted they're not playin manc so i can get a preview of the stuff, though "here comes the serious bit" was fun at reading this year
god I'm still in love
with kate jackson.
hands off!
i saw her first
Very much yes
Love this band. Quite fancy Kate Jackson too
great
another Sheffield band that's touring but not playing Sheffield :(
(note, the others do not include Arctic Monkeys..., or the other bands that bother me don't)
I saw Kate Jackson last night.
Her hair looks ace.
Great band
The last one suffered from sounding a tad dated in places, although the songs themselves were ace. I'm sure Alkan has done a good job.
I like 'em.
yay
all i have to say really
no
Dorian's lyrics irritate and grate. And his girlfriend pretends to play guitar.
They are a hard working band though so they do deserve some success
Once again, you have proved yourself to be an idiot
Try getting your facts straight...
You're rubbish
You really are
...
Is that honestly the best you can do?
i think i won the moment you rated Kate's clothes
Not that it's a competition, but...

Your life must be really fulfilling right now.
Plus: where exactly did I do what you suggest?
Yes!
But why the poor selection of tour dates?
I've been
trying to find where I can buy tickets for london with no success! I know its a little baby venue and tickets will sell out fast... but no where even says sold out, i just can't find any!
hull lamp?
i'm there!
I know Yorkshire is a large county, but......
4 dates of a 9 date tour to be concentrated in a region that contains approximately 1/12 of the UK population?
More to come presumably.
god, i'm good to you...

Cool
Some of the singles from the last one were superb
Great frontwoman!
- shame about the rest of the band and all their songs.
so...
do i try to convince my girlfriend that i only want to see them cos theyve got good songs, or do i come clean about my kate jackson obsession?
As if
she doesn't already know?
has
the world not noticed how boring these lot are yet?
Nope, only you
You visionary!
Ive noticed Moscow2
And so have all my friends. You are not alone.
LONG BLONDES = LONG BORES!
Do not understand
Why are this band considered 'cool'?
I mean, they sound EXACTLY like the Ordinary Boys - but with a haughty girl singing instead of a drooling retard.
...
What on earth are you talking about?
That
makes no sense
yeyo
I look forward to Guilt, it's a good song and they have Erol on the production so it should be nice and lofi.
Kate Jackson is old and haggard
a passing resmblance to Mick Jaggar-d
