Sounds good
I saw Johhny Foreigner and Ox Eagle Lion Man on Friday. Apart from the annoying 14 yr old kids at the front and the fact there was approximately eleven people there in total, it was very very good.
Hahahaha
i'm told the annoying 14yr olds are the ones who go to gigs these days! Bless 'em...they'll learn that glowsticks really aren't that special eventually
its been at least 37 seconds since JoFo were last mentioned, so...
...i thought i'd give this a bump ;)
Wheyyyy
Can't wait...i'll be at the front shouting about chicken to Alexei. Good times.
;)
you could also shout at Adam snow_brigade while we're on.....everyone likes to do that.
look after the phone!
;)
Well indeed....how else will the masses of teenage girls contact him??!
:)
that would've been £20 of top of the range Nokia I could never have replaced. Have you ever seen a man so paniced?!
so much so that...
...you performed a spectacular magic trick to divert attention... "gaze in wonder as i make the contents of this bottle of Newcastle Brown vanish before your very eyes"
JAAAAAG
Gavin Gavin Gavin, at least Neil makes the effort to be a regular user in between the shameless self promotion.
It's because he can't figure out how to post properly
The reply box gets him all confused.
TIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTT
look harder, i've posted on numerous things non-Minnaars
You guys got any
CDs or jazz like that going at the show? I want some plastic-circle goodness
er...
we waiting on the mixes of the EP..... there are a couple of downloads on our Myspace, but the EP will hopefully shit all over them. So in a word "no".
Sorry ;)
i totally forgot to cash in on my free minnaars t-shirt
you'd be foals to miss out on this show.
I like what you did there
i will let you touch me in my bathing suit area as a reward.
So BORED of the Foals comments!
Can we move on!
NEVER!
hahaha...
Michelle might stamp feet soon.... xxx
boooo!
boooo!
what?
I was saying Boo-urns
tenuous.
this sounds dead dead good
but. its upnorth. oh wellllll.
this sounds really ace
but. it's down south. Oh well.
Wow that is good
First time in my life I've wished I could be in Leicester.
its a lovely city
....
...if you like the colour Grey.
and
fried chicken
That's true
Last time Alexei was both confused and intrigued by the concept of a lo-fi fried chicken outlet having the same name as a company that made cookies.
ha
isn't Maryland a national or at least regional chain? Like Dixy's but even more questionable?
THis will be an evening for mind boggling drum kit logistics
or 'bump'
is anyone coming to this? I can not wait to see Dananaykroyd in Sumo. Mmmm.
any ideas on run times?
anyone
sort of....
think forst band is on at 8.15, then us at 9, ox at 9.45ish, dananana half ten, Johnny Foreigner 11 summink? (i'll be honest, i was guessing after us....)
forst band
is very like "first band", only illiterate.
I am so freaking annoyed at my not being able to come!
Seriously. This is going to be an brilliant gig!
it will be if your not coming
lolz.
i don't mean that of course, tell Gavin to stop taking the piss out of my singing.
i love your singing....
my impressions were starting to sound a little bit like Lee Yung Po yesterday.
"Imperceptabow"
I'll assume you mean
Lee Young Pyo. You racist.
Essay x3
clearly states that Ben is in fact the racist.
what's wrong with his singing?
nothing at all, its awesome i swear...
Cleft-Pallets FTW.
so do then...
i might even make toast again....no posh breakfast though.
is that euphemism?
it actually wasnt...
..though i'm disgusted at that fact. Perhaps i am losing my powers
:D
that euphamism comment just made my comment below even worse!
Shame on you Adam!
Yes well unless someone is going in a car and I could get a lift then sure
hence why I said that house across from Danielle and Neils. then we could go around for posh breakfasts!
hahahaha
............mmmmmmmmmm
Well, that was somewhat magical
although I may never hear properly again and have to be up in five and a half hours' time.
it was indeed
excellent
jolly good fun
..i had
mucho good
dananana were immense-eeeo
dananana....
yep, i'm totally all over their sh*t...they were awesome.
i'm knackered
Danananakroyd are the best live band i've seen in forever.
^this
Just...oh, just everything about them was immense. (Which is not to leave out JoFo, who were probably the best of the three times I've seen them. Or, for that matter, Minnaars, who were probably the best of the twice I've seen you.)
why, thanks very much!
There was no denying Danana were spectacular....I think they'd've shown anyone up in that form. I felt a bit for Johnny Foreigner to be fair...the crowd seemed to vanish!
I know I did
because i'm lame and weak and cause my brother had the car :(
but they were ace last tiem I saw them.
The real issue here is WHY THE HELL THIS VENUE WASN'T RAMMED FROM THE START?! What's wrong with our town when those two bands can do a gig and it be sparcely attended?! Madness.
that'll be the
...large bafoon contingent.
I'm still sulking.
Why can't London be closer!
i wish
i could have gone to this but didnt due to illness :(
minnaars were good on saturday despite the shameless self promotion.
Surely in order to get people to see you
You would need self-promotion?
Unless I completetly missed what you meant (if so explain)
Self Promotion....
ha did we?!
I'm confused about why self-promotion is bad
what does it mean?
eh?!
shameless self promotion? with no t shirts or cd's to sell? how is this possible? or advertising the gig? WHA?
Maybe he was being ironic
at least that's what I am hoping for.
Because I am tres confused!
lets not whinge too much...
he did also say that we were good! ;)
Not whinging
Just confused.
^same
.
I apologise
for Gavin's continuing hijacking of DiS for promotional purposes :)
last time i checked....
the "Announcements" section was for advertising gigs amongst other things....
i'm only winding you up
you plum. I've earned my right to JAG my ass off over the years.
handy really....
...for fitting it into your denim leggins then x
How was the JoFo set anyway?
could it compete with the debut performance of Hahaharoldramis? I enjoyed that particularly ramshackle part...
they...
were really good, but most of the crowd left when you did.(though i don't think there was a link) - they only played to about 20 or 30 people. Mind you, I wouldn't have wanted to go on after dananana so its to their credit that they were still impressive
There were loads of taxis outside
so presumably some people believed the stage time sheets that claimed JoFo would finish at 11.15 rather than come on at 11.20 and crash headlong into the midnight load out curfew. Let me have a go at remembering the setlist:
Yes! You Talk Too Fast
Hennings Favourite
Salt Pepa & Spinderella
Our Bipolar Friends
Eyes Wide Terrified
Cranes x4
The End And Everything After
new song
What Burlesque Won't Stand
Yr All Just Jealous/Absolute Balance
I thought that...
opening with their best song was brave...
as much as I'd enjoyed this show
i'd have thought the three bands at the top of the bill would've been plenty and allowed JoFo a bigger audience. Not complaining mind, I'd have had to pay then.... :)
^
this i agree with
