Yay. I know the critics hate them. Fuck the critics. They are awesome live, their singer is brilliant with crowd reparte, better than any other up and coming/not quite making it yet band; one gig in manchester some drunk shouted out "juhfufguygfu" and he said "sorry sir all i heard was jkjhkjuyggiu". Some other wit in the crowd said "thats what he said". Ah you had to be there. He was also talking about how hed noticed the tickets for the gig being sold at 5 times their face value on ebay. He said perhaps we should start playing in bigger venues, everyone shouted No. :D
I suspect and hope they are a lot bigger in america than they are here. I felt sorry for the guy in the first of their gigs i went to, he was shocked and surprised "how do you guys all know all our music allready ?". I couldnt quite bring myself to say "weve all downloaded it". He seemed a bit naive. He must have cottoned on eventually. The girl who plays violin for them is very sexy too.
