a mix between The Stone Roses and Primal Scream with the swagger of Oasis

The tiny "DJ sets from" section at the side contains a more impressive lineup than any of the headliners.

VIP & TOILET UPGRADES AVAILABLE

Surely Oas-ish is a better name?

CUNT BOON

OAS-ISH ft Steve McLaren as Bonehead

There is a well-established Oasis tribute band called Oasish already (checks: since 2004!) - presumably this so-not-gonna-happen festival could only afford the Oasish tribute band, not the Oasis tribute band.

THE SMITHS

(tiny letters)

Am hoping Germany has a tribute band called The Schmidts.

what's the even smaller subtitle on (the) JAMES (experience) ?

Am hoping Germany has a tribute band called Jakob.

Born of Frustration xp

he's ready

Nosferatu has put on some weight

xp guessing that was their original name & it didn't prompt enough punters

just give up and change it to This Bed Is On Fire With Passion And Love, lads

Clearly the only correct name would be OH SIT DOWN and shut up

I feel like I got the VIP upgrade already by virtue of the fact that I will be 400 miles away

all-female tribute act She Only Comes When She’s On Top (formerly Jamie)

Does Clint Boon look at that line-up and feel aggrieved or relieved that there is no Inspiral Carpets tribute band I wonder?

i think one of the inspiral carpets actually ended up playing in an inspiral carpets tribute act

Yep - Tom Hingley and the Kar-pets

will have to update the tribute band thread tomorrow, but yes, the band reformed in 2011 with the original original singer; five years later the popular-era singer formed a tribute band called Kar-Pets.

Am hoping Germany has a tribute band called The Schmidts.

German tribute bands: Still Collins, The Quarrymen Beatles,Motörblöck and pictured below Goldplay Live

ty for that pic

Clint Boon has been one of the earliest & most dedicated baggy tribute DJs, and iirc also ran nostalgia bus tours in Manchester? certainly big enough to keep his ex-singer off the bill if they still hate each other

Imagine this being the actual video you use to promote yourselves

take it away, chris

Guy on the left in the Goldplay Live pic (guessing he's the drummer) looks like an escapee from Germany's biggest Winger tribute, Schwinger.

"... it’s fair to say that Creation Records founder Alan McGee has a nose for up-and-coming guitar bands. The Clockworks first came to his attention in 2019 when guitarist Sean Connelly messaged him on Instagram, saying: “McGee: We’re the punk rock version of the Streets.” McGee was impressed enough by a demo to go and see one of their rehearsals at home in Galway, at which frontman James McGregor performed with such intensity that he broke his mic stand. McGee felt it was the best rehearsal he’d seen since early Oasis, and signed them that night."

the streets reference is almost edgy in - yet somehow also absolutely perfect for - this context

"frontman James McGregor performed with such intensity that he broke his mic stand"

“I can’t see them failing.”

Oy! McGee! No!

Where is that kid John Lennon McCartney or whatever his name was today?

We should do a poll of the one hundred-and-some crap acts Alan has gassed up as 'The Next..' whoever.

God knows which hapless chancer he was talking about that week.

I also had this sponsored post appear on facebook the other day, which seemed ripe for this thread from the name and photo alone.

The Sherlocks, out standing in their (dad's) field. I dread to think what their MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT was.

"... it’s fair to say that Creation Records founder Alan McGee has a nose for up-and-coming guitar bands."

The last 20-odd years of his career suggests otherwise.

Still dining out on Oasis I see (who he apparently didn't even want to sign, so legend has it).

I see he's still going but has dropped the Lennon. He was probably encouraged to play up to his full given name. Poor get

Poor in so many ways.

wasn't there a thread where we posted album covers with musicians leaning against brick walls?

just noting the swagger

"So Keir, do you prefer Oasis or The Stone Roses?"

I know he's not very tall, but he looks about 5'6 there.

I bet he felt much more comfortable bending the knee a little bit closer to the camera than Angela was!

did he ever say which he prefers

it's still at the "what dogshit-music authentocrat pols are supposed to like" focus group
