Sleaford Mods

[treelover]

I dont think it's that odd is it? He seems to have a fairly ambivalent attitude to their new found fame.

I can imagine discovering their fanbase is entirely middle-aged liberals might be a source of some frustration when you make music like that too.

Just been listening to the Eagulls who are apparently another angry band, one of their songs is 'council house blues', but I wonder if its all show?

They're playing at The South Sea in Sheffield next Thursday (10th July). I'm planning on going along. Any other Sheffield U75ers?

 

[jakethesnake]

Such a great band... I do a show on our local community radio station and was feeling a bit frustrated I couldn't play any of their stuff due to the swearing (our station is on it's last warning from Ofcom for playing inappropriate content) but I found a track with no swearing in it: The Corgi

 

[Blagsta]

Also PPO Kissing Behinds. A fave with my kids, that one.

Stoke-on-Trent, Hitchin, Ramsgate, St Alban, Reading and Kingston-upon-Hull

It's a complete toilet tbf

Is that Lisa? Hello!

Sleaford Mods in Guardian today

http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/jul/17/raging-against-the-machine-rise-sleaford-mods

 

[braindancer]

Sleaford Mods at the Lexington tonight - looking forward to it....

 

[rutabowa]

yeh i'm off!
Ha the comments on that Guardian article are so laughable. I just don't understand why people get jealous when a band does quite well (it's hardy like they're millionaires or ever will be), and feel the need to snidely slate them anonymously... as though anyone is interested! It is so patent that it is jealousy too.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Got tickets for the 100 Club in October.

Pissed off that I've missed every other London date they have done for the last two years...

My guess is that they'll be all over the 2014 end of year lists and 2015 will be big big big for them. Starting with this:

 

[Orang Utan]

What are they being slated for?

 

[rutabowa]

That gig exceeded my expectations by quite a long way. Im left with the feeling that most people should give up music because these guys are doing it better and I only get that feeling about twice a decade... not sure how they can accomplish that with their setup but that's how I felt. Hype? Well hype normally predisposes me to hate a band so I don't think it's that. Everyone needs to see this band at the moment, it won't last forever!

 

[Blagsta]

What are they being slated for?

There's some twatty Guardian writer slating Jay for his job.

 

[braindancer]

Superb gig last night I agree - glad to have seen them somewhere small as I can't think it will work well when they start playing the bigger venues like the electric ballroom.

Really enjoyed the support band The Lowest Form too - crackin' bit of noisy hardcore.

Top night!

 

[rutabowa]

Yep the support was great too! The drummer runs a great punk distro. Also good on the venue for somehow air conditioning the place to be very pleasant.
