FINALLY a review of the gig that actually mentions us: http://callofthewyld.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/fat-white-family-claw-marks-atomic.html
i think they even say we were better, right?
" It should all be a mess" equals "it was a mess" btw

Sounds like that was a great gig

Can't knock his verdict of Alex Turner.

Moving onto the subject of Alex Turner he continued: "Words are not enough to describe how much of a fucking buffoon I think that man is. I find it unbelievable that people think of him the way they do. The guy is clearly a moron. He was talking about the universe and cyclical natures and 'invoice me for the microphone'. What are you talking about man? You're a fucking millionaire. His latest record, I fucking hated it."

He adds: "I hate that little c**t, he's a fucking joke. It was the least rock'n'roll thing I've ever seen in my fucking life. His speech was horrendously embarrassing. It made me sweat, like when you see something that really makes you cringe. Massive cock. Print that."

Saoudi, who was speaking backstage at the NME Awards, where Fat White Family won the Philip Hall Radar prize, made the comments after revealing he finds award ceremonies "repulsive."

"I hate awards shows. It's contrary to everything I believe in as an artist and musician. I find it mildly amusing but repulsive because there's all these insiders blowing sugar up each others arses," he said.

The comments made, of course, at an award show.

" It should all be a mess" equals "it was a mess" btw

It should all be a mess = It somehow wasn't a mess.

 

[Frances Lengel]

So, in what way do they resemble GG Allin?

Tiny penises?

 

[rutabowa]

Hee hee

You've got to go at least once to find out for yourself, no?

Well, here's an enthusiastic review and a half.

We turned up in droves and paid a tenner to watch what must be the greatest band we have in the UK at the moment.
Something we hear said more than once tonight.

Everyone will have an opinion about the FAT WHITE FAMILY this time next year. There’ll be the people who will berate some of us for climbing on some fabricated bandwagon and will wait until they’re on the telly or something before forming an opinion that will be the opposite to those of us lucky to have witnessed this glorious mess of a band already. However, in years to come one can already feel that this lot, in some form or another will be a name that won’t need much of an explanation when inserting them in a sentence amongst some of the other greats we already know, listen to still and reminisce about during those quieter moments in our busy lives.

If I was the band's manager (hi, Stuart) I would be questioning why they're making their fans be ripped off at the bar, with the band playing a venue that charges £4.30 for a really small can of beer. I doubt if the band would pay that, so why expect the fans to?

 

[rutabowa]

yeh i'm not paying £4.30 for a little can for no band! a one-off mistake i hope.
i'd def go to an award ceremony if i won an award, there's (i imagine) free drinks all night!! however there is little chance of that i fear.

 

[butchersapron]

You've got to go at least once to find out for yourself, no?

Nah, you know what they're like, they knew what they're like - they just wanted to go an have a laugh and free booze but also play the outsider game. I'd do the first myself.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I have been to some, there is always free booze (and backslapping), and sometimes there is even dinner. Yum.
You can go and collect our award, I want to remain the thoughtful, enigma.

I would have preferred it if no members of the Fat Whites made it to the stage at all.
Actually I might get a native indian to refuse my NME/Brits award.

Take that 007!

 

[rutabowa]

i dunno exactly what i'd do, but you can be sure it would be something so original that noone in the history of humanity had ever done anything even similar.

 

[rutabowa]

The KLF did pretty well on that score actually.

 

[ska invita]

Id go, make out im too cool to be there and then try and start a war of words with a band bigger than me to try and generate some headlines. rock and roll

 

[gabi]

I reckon I'd have a bitch about pretentious musos while being a pretentious muso myself, and perhaps rail against the very concept of awards ceremonies while sitting backstage at an awards ceremony.

That'd be original... Ohh. Wait. No, been done.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I bet virtually every single person at the NME awards thinks they're the only ones who're aware of how dreadful it all is. Not like all the others.

 

[rutabowa]

Id go, make out im too cool to be there and then try and start a war of words with a band bigger than me to try and generate some headlines. rock and roll

Would you really though?

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I'd send someone to say that I was very sorry that I could not make it that evening due to a previous commitment, but then sit in the front row dressed in plastic red trousers.

 

[rutabowa]

I would duct tape the presenter to the big award plinth then wee on him..

 

[rutabowa]

i can't believe we are talking about the nme awards we are (mostly) men in our at least thirties.

 

[rutabowa]

I reckon I'd have a bitch about pretentious musos while being a pretentious muso myself, and perhaps rail against the very concept of awards ceremonies while sitting backstage at an awards ceremony.

Yes, you definitely would.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I would ask for a live link up, and then have it set up by the free bar.

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Surely no-one younger than that gives a shit about the NME any more?

 

[rutabowa]

Surely no-one younger than that gives a shit about the NME any more?

i genuinely don't know. I thought it was a teen magazine isn't it? i don't know anyone of my age who buys it, do you?

 

[rutabowa]

...if you look on twitter it appears to be all young people who are getting angry about someone insulting the arctic monkeys in this article, but i dunno.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

i genuinely don't know. I thought it was a teen magazine isn't it? i don't know anyone of my age who buys it, do you?

Well no, but I don't think many people of any age buy it any more tbh.
