Right.
I'll be making my way to see them at both the Great Escape and Field Day festival - obviously between now and then there's room for a lot of exposure... but just to get an idea of how packed it's going to be at Field Day.. how packed was it at Camden Crawl?

How many of you are going to see them at the Great Escape?

today they said it was packed out and that "they already sound full figured enough to step into U2`s shoes"

i assume thats a compliment...


i dunno about that

on the basis of seeing them at scala, i'd say more simple minds. i'd prefer them without the smoke machine.


they're potentially a VERY good band.

anyone that compares them to U2 is an idiot.


Are this the lot

that used to be Fear of Flying?


yes

they are indeed!


haha no fucking way???

a band that used to be FoF are now The Big Tips For Being The Biggest Band On Earth?

i saw them at frog in 2005 or so and wrote a list of reasons why they sucked on a napkin and gave it to them at the end.

they found my myspace and thanked me for the advice

AND NOW THEYRE GOING TO BE FAMOOS????


p.s

for what reasons do i suck?


low self esteem?


i'll work on that

and make a comeback in a years time.

i expect my napkin in the post


Lykke Li

Anyone who saw this missed out on Lykke Li at underworld. Terrible venue, amazing gig.


Agreed

That was bloody lovely.


I have to say

The first time I saw them at the Moshi Moshi club night I was super impressed. And there was no smoke machine! I wanted to see them again at the Crawl and I was blown away...they really are good. Although I would never say they were U2 I would be more inclined towards Joy Division, Depeche Mode.
