The Tuts make dubious allegations after Brixton Windmill gig

[Badgers]

Don't worry everyone, it is no longer a problem. The whole thing has been upgraded to 'haha' and 'amazing' by The Tuts themselves

not even slightly similar. i would call the police to get the crime number required by the insurance to replace the car, not to get justice. what next, "how can you call yourself a socialist if you wear shoes"?

So the police are no use for justice until you want money for your stolen car? I see.

SEXIST!!!

Nice wings, shame about the face

 

[DotCommunist]

I was thinking more naziwing than bingo

 

[ericjarvis]

Me too. The one that sounded like Lily Allen singing old Shop Assistants songs.

I have to admit that I rather like the idea of Lily Allen singing old Shop Assistants songs... whilst totally ratarsed on vodka. Might well be very entertaining. I guess I shall have to check their stuff out.

 

[Citizen66]

I checked their stuff out and, whilst not my sort of thing particularly, it has been produced to a pretty high standard imo(myspace).

They've banned me from their FB, well I assume that's what's happened ("You don't have permission...")

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I wish their behaviour was of a high standard. I think they are a very shoddy outfit. I particularly hate the fact that it's apparently OK for the singer to throw punches first, glorify how violent the gigs are, but anything rising out of that behaviour is a sexist outrage.

Me too, although they made a nice little parting shot about how we've given them the attention they wanted, and that we should go wank ourselves off to 50 Shades of Grey.

Can't wait to see them announce their next gig. I mean, noone will forward all this shit to the booker will they? Will we? Will I?

 

[isvicthere?]

Their "version" of events reads like something Rik out of the Young Ones would write in castigation of Thatcher. I don't for a minute believe a word of it. Having worked with Seamus for several years, the idea he would call someone a "paki" stretches credulity beyond breaking point.

Plus: have looked at the Tuts on youtube. They're shit.

heaven forbid...

So what has been learned from this?

1) It’s not a good idea to bring your own drink into a pub
2) It’s not a good idea to be verbally abusive when pulled on it
3) It’s not a good idea to have words to the effect that “trouble follows you around” on your website
4) You shouldn’t post stuff on public forums like Twitter and then object to them being posted elsewhere
5) If a pub landlord or barstaff want to bundle people out of a pub using force, they should be aware of the consequences when doing so
6) This has been good publicity for The Tuts and The Windmill
7) This has been bad publicity for The Tuts and The Windmill
8) Things can get very messy when drink is involved
9) RaverDrew is a sexist
10) RaverDrew isn't a sexist
11) Roofdog was not involved in any way whatsoever
12) Urban75 got lots more visitors

Please feel free to add to list

I wonder if their parents are aware that their extra curricular activities involves getting pissed and brawling on a Wednesday night.

I haven't really had time to read most of the thread so the only thing I can add is that I am really disappointed that people who like Kate Nash go to the Windmill. I've only been there once briefly but thought it was cooler than that. And I've never knowingly heard a Kate Nash song but am assuming she's shit.

 

[RubyToogood]

I am actually feeling a bit sorry for the band now. They're young and clearly let their rage get the better of them, but I think they need to apologise for the way they did their best to trash the reputation of one of London's best loved music venues over an incident which they were (at the very least) partly responsible for.

Likewise. They have obviously put some work in to get a demo made and build up a small following that will come and see them when they're not in their hometown, and it would be a shame if all that got thrown away because no-one would book them any more. Obviously they were upset by what happened and have put forward their view of it. From what's emerged so far, it looks like a dispute between the parties concerned - unfortunately they have tried to make it into a point of principle and drag the whole of the internet into it. As we know from modding this forum, the one thing people having fights love to do is try and involve as many other people as possible, and that's how things escalate. 99 times out of 100 it's better for everyone if that doesn't happen, because nobody wins.

At the moment, no-one else can really see this point of principle, and the venue are clearly ahead on points.

If that's true, then this is the point where I lose all sympathy for them and I can only view their attempts to ruin the reputation of the Windmill as being despicable.

Well once you've taken up a position like that it's very hard to back down from it without appearing to lose face. They'd be well advised to stop thinking about their position and start thinking instead about what they actually want to achieve (like not committing career suicide), and how to get there.

This sad incident has given alcohol a bad name

 

[RubyToogood]

Oh yeah, and if they want to start wheeling out big names, the Windmill would probably win that round too.

E2A: this is not meant to be gleeful, just pointing out reality.

11) Roofdog was not involved in any way whatsoever

I think the role of Roofdog in the incident should be investigated, there may be a hidden canine-centric, speciesist angle that has not been addressed

Roofdog has been bringing his own bones in to the venue for years

I've just heard someone who works in music venues describe their sound as 'drunken karaoke of other peoples songs'. I wouldn't know, but clearly there are others who do.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

You lot want me penniless and homeless by the sounds of it.

Sounds like The Tuts want to make Seamus penniless and homeless!

Specifically The Shop Assistants. Oh and The Flatmates too.

 

[TopCat]

No, no, no, the sexist part was posting up screenshots of someone's public twitter posts, without their consent.

Full on moronic bullshit.

 

[Blagsta]

Full on moronic bullshit.

Looks like something Laurie Penny would write.

In all the bluster we forgot the real victim here

He looks at me funny sometimes. He is clearly speciesist

(and the t-shirt faded in the wash)

I think that's fair enough though as I'm not sure they sell bones behind the bar
