Fat White Family & various offshoot bands (Moonlandingz, Insecure Men, Warmduscher, Pregoblin etc)

Put me on ignore then. Or, um, answer the fucking question. I despise racism and apologists for racism even more.

So why have you never spoken out against your hero Eric Clapton?

 

[Nanker Phelge]

He's a proper racist cunt and aint now doubt.....this thing is true.....like rain is wet.

 

[wemakeyousoundb]

5 more pages then?

unfortunately not :/
anyway they played alright last night despite being munted

 

[Miss-Shelf]

I'm just searching for the young soul rebels, and I cant find them anywhere. Where have you hidden them?

they don't really exist they just lure you on like the sirens

 

[Nanker Phelge]

They always exist. Some people just never know.

I saw them at the Anti Folk festival on Saturday. They were ace.

Sorry they are playing with Atomic Suplex at Old Blue Last

 

[Frances Lengel]

At least they aren't lostprophets anyway. Be thankful for that.

I went... had to really. It wasn't the best show in all honesty as the equipment didn't work for half the set but still good. The 100 club gig was ace tho

 

[rutabowa]

Atomic suplex were mind blowing of course. Not just saying this but we probably are the best live band of our generation.

So why have you never spoken out against your hero Eric Clapton?

Sorry. Eric Clapton?

What the fuck are you on about?

He's a decent muso I guess but nothing to write home about.. Is he racist? My hero? I've probably heard less of him than yourself given your love of overpriced coffee joints playing his unplugged shit on repeat.

More to the point. Why are you busily promoting a band that includes a racist?

What's it called when you go beyond obsessed about something?

 

[rutabowa]

i must say their new track is sounding excellent: http://thequietus.com/articles/14269-fat-white-family-touch-the-leather

guess it is not very underground now tho, i probably need to find a more obscure band as i don't like gigs to be too crowded.

 

[butchersapron]

Thankfully no faux-paedo lyrics this time.

I saw them play live at the end of last year.

Possibly the worst band I've ever seen. Awful, leaden student rock, with a desperate Jim Morisson wannabe upfront. All moves and no songs. Utterly awful.

 

[rutabowa]

i do tend to love bands of which some people say this about!

 

[stupid dogbot]

What, shit bands? Figures.

 

[rutabowa]

What, shit bands? Figures.

bands that inspire strong reactions in people (whether it is "worst" or "best", give me something that makes people feel something!)

Why do you say it would "figure"? I am curious.

 

[TruXta]

If only their music inspired strong reactions this thread wouldn't have more than a couple pages max.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Because nothing I read on Urban would surprise me these days. Apparently, they met "in a squat". Tick a box.

Here's the reaction they inspired. At least half the crowd went to the bar and then went and stood outside in the freezing cold and rain. They were playing to their girlfriends after about 3 songs. I don't even smoke any more, but I damn well stayed out there. There's only so much pseudo-Doors posturing I can take, quite frankly.

The second band were called the Amazing Snakeheads and they weren't much better. But they destroyed the Fat White boys without breaking a sweat.

Where was this?

 

[stupid dogbot]

The Exchange in Bristol. NME tour.

We only really went to see Cerebral Ballzy.

 

[rutabowa]

jesus. cerebral ballzy. terrible pop punk. fine.

 

[stupid dogbot]

At least someone likes 'em.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Tell you what, rutabowa, can you explain why the dreadful, floppy haired guitarist had two mics, both of which sounded exactly the same? Other than his being a pretentious cunt, obviously...

Symbolising the duality of existence, obvs.
