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

[rutabowa]

mind you if you don't like the sound of the fat whites soundchecking then you should definitely never see us (next saturday at power lunches) as this is our actual show (albeit the end of it):

 

[rutabowa]

Oh my just when i thought they coudn't get any better!

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

You're never going to get on Top of the Pops with that kind of noise you know

 

[Corax]

Oh my just when i thought they coudn't get any better!

I rather like that.

 

[Corax]

"cynical" would be if i was promoting my own band, Atomic Suplex,'s next gig on 29th March at Power Lunches.

Proper lol

I do love a catchy singalong chorus

That Ricky bloke from the Kaiser Chiefs has just been praising the band to the hilt on his radio show.

sounds like the kiss of death to me.

I'd take having my record being played on BBC6.

Oh, so sneery and bitchy!

I don't imagine they'd mind that either, what with musicians usually making music to be heard and enjoyed.

I'm sure they can handle a bit of sneery bitching, what with their records being championed on mainstream radio by beige indie-rock stars.

So you're going to damn the band because of one person who happens to like them?
I'm sure they'd find that critique simply devastating.

I think you're reading more into my sneer than was actually there, ed.

 

[ddraig]

ach they'd gone "tamer"

I'm going one further and putting everyone on this thread on ignore. Including myself.

 

[rutabowa]

well done Q.... ONLY 2 YEARS AFTER I TOLD YOU SO.

REM were on the cover every single issue between October 1995 and July 2002, except for March 1999 when they had a U2 special.

leaving the FWF out of it for a minute I think rock music might well be up shit creek at the moment - its not something i follow, but as i said on the Glastonbury on the Telly thread, the guitar bands i saw on that who got their sets filmed were pretty awful, and the general mood of music they were dishing out did feel like the rock spirit had long ago died. Glastonbury isnt really a rock festival, but still...

 

[gabi]

I still can't figure out what your obsession with clapton is?

I agree, to a point... definitely if you look on big festival stages you won't find anything inspiring. It is still there in tiny niche scenes though, that look inward with no desire to break into the mainstream. Whether it is worth the effort to seek it out just depends on the individual.

You went on and on and on and on about the Fat Whites supposedly being racists based on something you thought you might have happened, and used that as a basis to relentlessly criticise the band and those who liked them.

Yet you seem to go strangely quiet on the issue of racism when Eric Clapton is mentioned - an artist you've publicly praised here and a piece of shit guilty of one of the worst racist rants ever delivered by any mainstream musician. And unlike the Fat White 'incident', this one is actually documented with hard evidence. So it makes you something of a hypocrite with a weird obsession with the Fat Whites.

HTH. HAND.

 

[gabi]

Jesus. Yes, I confess, I love Eric Clapton. He's like my favourite artist ever Can't wait to get home to boogie down to some Sunshine, like i do every night.

I'm not the one here who is obsessed.

Don't know why you're bringing up fat white family's racism either. Do you really wanna open up that can of worms again? Right before they have their moment in the sun on the front of the UK's finest Dadrock mag?

You've now posted 69 times in a thread about a band that you say you don't like, mainly attempting to damn them for something that was supposedly said by one drunken member in a pub over a year ago.

It's a bit weird to be honest.

 

[gabi]

It's a discussion forum editor. I don't like Liverpool either but I've been known to post in that thread from time to time.

You've really gotta get the hang of this.

 

[Favelado]

Did you have to count the posts editor ? That would be weirder. Or is there a facility to count them?
