Boy on the far left just needs a pipe to complete the hommage à Harold Wilson.

So, for our readers who haven’t come across you yet, how would you describe the band?

We pride our sound on being unique and try not to be like many others.

Can you describe the band in 3 words?

Fucking mega mate!

Desert Island disc?

Oasis, Definitely Maybe – easy!

The problem with Smile Awhile is that their frontman appears to be Bruce Dickinson

Someone on our football messageboard posted a RedStar vs Oasis pic to illustrate the insurmountable gap in class between us + Man City and eight people liked the post!

calzino, Monday, 30 January 2017 22:34 (seven years ago) link

Redstar look like they've got a member who used to be in the SAS?

badg, Monday, 30 January 2017 22:40 (seven years ago) link

makes sense, that's music straight out of the interrogation phase of special forces training

The Mary Hopkins version is perfectly charming. It is a Russian song from the great terror era so I'm sure the inherent tragedy that is imbued in it wasn't lost at all on these sensitive artistes :p

calzino, Monday, 30 January 2017 23:14 (seven years ago) link

We're apparently in the midst of another great terror era... if ILX is to be believed.

Was thinking the other day watching the (not very good) ''Thoroughly Modern Millie'' - at this point in time, the Lennonisms being aped here are older than McCartney's ''granny'' tropes, Millie's roaring-twenties nostalgia (also for then-still-living grannies) or the general Edwardian bicycle-built-for-two steez were in the mid-to-late-60s. Surely it will have to run out of steam eventually, right?

this documentary from the mid 90s about lanarkshire lad-rock band the gyres is about the funniest thing on the internet. like a spinal tap of post-oasis lad-bands, except these cunts are for real.

terrible quality sadly

Fuck me, Paddy Flaherty was in them! I used to know him, he was a total jazz prodigy, how did he end up in this mob?

This is more like it:

‘…The Paul Harrison Trio ….and served up an energised set of post-Coltrane jazz which confirmed the growing stature not only of the pianist, but also his collaborators, bassist Mario Caribe and drummer Paddy Flaherty.’ Kenny Mathieson – The Scotsman

Piece of Cake are on the hunt for extras to appear in a film based on the 1819 Peterloo Massacre in Manchester.

The gritty historic drama, set to star Maxine Peake, want people who look "downtrodden, tired, overworked and a bit hard done by.

Alexandra Pickford, a director at Piece of Cake Casting, told i: "For Peterloo, we want them to look pretty hard done by. Times were hard in 1819.

“We are looking for gentlemen with longer, collar-length hair. They should ruffle their hair and bring it forward for the photo, and look really miserable, pretty downtrodden."
