Could have called it "Indie Ghetto", and go Elvis to sing the theme song.

It seems like we're entering the age of 'Kevin'. I don't think I've encountered my own name (not referring to me) so often as I have over the past couple of years.

Kevin has been around for a bit - https://www.discogs.com/artist/370423-Kevin-4

Sure, and the Undertones, for example. It's completely a subjective thing, but it just seems like I'm encountering a lot more Kevins atm. Growing up it seemed the only other Kevin was the wine gums fruit bat.

Based in Halifax the band play country wide and are heavily influenced by bands such as Stones, The Who and Oasis. Plenty of original material as well.

we'll be the judge of that lads

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 (nine years ago)

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

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

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

Benylin Ascent (NickB), Monday, 30 January 2017 22:57 (nine years ago)

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 (nine years ago)

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?

idk, people still like roaring-twenties stuff

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
