I really like this Pregoblin lot

That's to be expected

'Tastes good with Money' just dropped into my Youtube, 'shit you might want to watch thing'. Tickled.

'Breaking into Aldi' is the one that's currently rocking the postal van. We get snacks from the local Lidl. Fuck it, crank it up, same store anyway. (Without the kidnapping intrigue)

Flotsam & Jetsam – A Pop-Up Boutique Experience by the Fat White Family, Peckham Fri 19th April

I'm disappointed by the lack of lagan to go along with the flotsam and jetsam

Wonderfully Wickerman-esque

They must be so pissed off about this:

Unfortunately, due to the Coronavirus we are being told shows in China in March have to be postponed, there can be no gigs at this time! Consequently we are going to have to reschedule all the other shows as a result because it totally fucks up our routing. As I’m sure you can imagine we’re all pretty bummed about that, have never played most of those places and how often do you get a chance to hit Australia?! Our manager and booker and the other folks that give birth to these logistical miracles are working through the night searching for solutions. Later this year hopefully. Onwards!

first brexit and now killer flu... the indie bands have really been hit hard so far this decade.

Loved this

I Don't Want to See Your Quarantine 'Art' Unless It's This

Many in isolation fancy themselves as artists. However, none are remaking 'The Shawshank Redemption' via Instagram Stories, like Fat White Family.

Sort of related to the Fat Whites

 

[nick]

Is that her from Pregoblin?

 

[rutabowa]

Not really a fan any more

 

[editor]

Is that her from Pregoblin?

Yep. I like her stuff.

 

[editor]

This her new single.

 

[editor]

I like this one too.

And this one!

They’re perfect pop songs, gilded with a million sonic flourishes but never over-polished to the point they lose their edge. They’re funny, charismatic and self-deprecating, with a knowledge of their own artifice; against Gangster’s colossal Western sweep, they sing about being skint. At a time like this, where dancefloors seem a million miles away, the augmented worlds they conjure feel more essential than ever.

The Big Sound: An Interview With Pregoblin | The Quietus

Alex Sebley and Jessica Winter of Pregoblin grew up a stone’s throw from one another, either side of a hotel’s grounds on Hayling Island, Portsmouth. Both spent teenage years on the local gig circuit. Sebley was the Kurt Cobain in a Nirvana tribute act (who also played Pantera covers) called...

I kept seeing this and thinking, 'yea, it's definitely him'....

I thought that too and it it absolutely looks like him.

 

[8ball]

That's quite uncanny.

Maybe those mischievous scamps are subverting the industry by taking the mans dollar working from the inside whilst simultaneously denying it.
Or maybe he just did it to eat and now feels he has to deny it for credibility
or maybe it is a lookalike

Wonder if de Niro is also denying his involvement with them

I saw the denial. I'm not having it though.

There's a book about them out.

Ten Thousand Apologies: Fat White Family and the Miracle of Failure review – band on the brink

Chaos reigns through much of this bleak, funny and compelling biography of the cult indie band and their quest for success, stability – and affordable housing

I wonder if this thread is mentioned in it

 

[editor]

Wow!

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I wonder if this thread is mentioned in it

I heard there is a whole chapter on it.

It all seems a bit mad that they have a best selling book.

 

[editor]

Excellent stuff:

I seem to have overestimated the demand amongst my mates for this lot.
I currently have 2 spare tickets (Maybe 3 if even Mrs Nick decides she would prefer watching master chef re-runs)
