My favorite part of that picture is that there is a pineapple next to Nick's head.

Well...yes, that is pretty inspired.

And his eyes look like Little Orphan Annie's.

Does anyone have that mix CD mentioned upthread??? Nubirth - "Anytime" is one of my all time favorite tracks!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:42 (eighteen years ago) link

hahaha!

This becoming, like, the ultimate ILM thread!

― Yakuza Ghost Six (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:42 (eighteen years ago) link

No! I didn't see any mix CDs at the merch table.

Have any of you gentlemen heard the JBs remix of Billie Holiday's yesterday, perchance?

― Yakuza Ghost Six (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:44 (eighteen years ago) link

I've heard it. It's good but not amazing.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:44 (eighteen years ago) link

I like it.

The URL of that ends in "harvell.jpg."

Is it REALLY him?

― Yakuza Ghost Six (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:49 (eighteen years ago) link

(xpost) Brett Ratner is English?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:50 (eighteen years ago) link

It is the fellow from the Junior Boys. ON TOPIC, PLEASE.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:50 (eighteen years ago) link

nope

― Yakuza Ghost Six (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:50 (eighteen years ago) link

I wanna know if Nate DeY0ung was at the show tonight! I forgot to ask. Or djdee? But he probably would've posted by now if he was.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:52 (eighteen years ago) link

a good band.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 06:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Saw them on Monday, great show. New material, better stage presence, more bells and whistles that I didn't really need (video) but were pretty cool. Did the Russian Futurists make it to the Chicago date? Apparently they couldn't make it into the country the other day. They were out of the mix cd mentioned upthread when they went through Des Moines, so I missed out..

― mike h. (mike h.), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 16:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Nope, I don't think the Futurists are expected until Cleveland.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 16:19 (eighteen years ago) link

one year passes...

Anyone going to see then tomorrow at The Luminaire, London??

Anyone want spare ticket?

― Tannenbaum Schmidt (Nik), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 18:43 (seventeen years ago) link

ANYONE??? I HAVE SPARE TICKET - NEED TO GET RID OF. thanks

― Tannenbaum Schmidt (Nik), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 21:02 (seventeen years ago) link

six months pass...

Should I go see them tonight?

― baaderonixx, Monday, 26 February 2007 13:48 (seventeen years ago) link

YES

― lex pretend, Monday, 26 February 2007 13:52 (seventeen years ago) link

The show in London at Dingwalls last week was dead good, despite technical difficulties. Bonde do Rolle were fun as well.

― Neil S, Monday, 26 February 2007 13:59 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah it was great - sound a bit muddy though, and i really really hate dingwalls.

― lex pretend, Monday, 26 February 2007 14:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Is there a supporting act? Right now the thing I wanna do is to go to bed, so I wouldn't mind if it finished early...

― baaderonixx, Monday, 26 February 2007 14:12 (seventeen years ago) link

There were three support acts in London ...

I was at Dingwalls too, never having seen them before. I emailed a mate about it, which I'll just copy here:

"It was good but odd. I don't know how you imagined him, but I thought he would be thin and in his late 20s. He was portly and in his early 30s. There were lots of technical problems and so when he was talking to the crowd rather than singing this came across too much. Rather spoilt the mystique. When they got going this was less of a problem. He has a lovely voice and it kind of transforms him when he sings.

It actually worked really well live. There was him singing and playing guitar or bass (doing some of the bass bits that are electronic on the records), a keyboards/electronics/laptop guy and a drummer, who was doing lots of accents and hi-hat patterns and stuff, although the main beats were still electronic. But somehow the fact they were clearly a really good tight band in control of the material also detracted from the mystique. It was interesting, as you could see what was making each noise (this made me think of the New Order video to Perfect Kiss), but perhaps I wanted something more futuristic and seamless."

Bondo do Rolle WERE good!

I like Dingwalls, as well. But the crowd were a bit shit.

― Jamie T Smith, Monday, 26 February 2007 14:25 (seventeen years ago) link

the crowd at junior boys gigs in ldn are always like that, it was just as bad at the luminaire (though i enjoyed that gig better - not on the verge of a cold, good venue, better sound, got drunk and headed to the front with a friend to rave to 'under the sun' at the end).

i'd totally imagined jeremy as a skinny wimpy indie boy, it was a bit like WOAH when i first saw him (portly, ginger, bearded, slightly ungainly, sweaty), but you're right, his voice does transform him.

― lex pretend, Monday, 26 February 2007 14:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Just noticed yesterday they were gonna play my town on the 24th! FUUUUCK

― nathalie, Monday, 26 February 2007 15:22 (seventeen years ago) link

I was at Dingwalls the other day too - worst gig venue in London? Discuss...

― Kaliova, Monday, 26 February 2007 15:57 (seventeen years ago) link

ten years pass...

anyone seen them recently? i'm thinking about going next Friday Night and wondering if it's worth it?

― Bee OK, Thursday, 22 June 2017 00:45 (six years ago) link

show is at 10 PM until 3 AM. sounds like a club, which is fine by me.

― Bee OK, Thursday, 22 June 2017 00:45 (six years ago) link

they were fine last september. played songs from all their albums. i don't remember that much, but if you're a fan they're definitely worth seeing.
