log man said...A caricature of a rock band. All the right rock noises, poses, haircuts. But ultimately a vaccuous bunch of posers. Ah! I just want to wish them well
I have never understood the self rightous slaggers of the finger? Poseurs? Erm.. we talkin bout the same band?
To me they have always been pretty natural, and whilst commercial friendly, they have never been a haircut/tatts/shoegazing or any other fickle genre driven entity, as most of their detractors aspire to be.
Each to their own.
I was lucky to see em on their 1st national tour in a small Perf club. Great gig (they were support for Regurgitator) and as their shows got bigger over the years they still managed to just be a bllody good band - every time. No hysterics/addiction/ugly crowd interaction. Just great entertainment and toons.
On a big stage or little I thought they left the boolsh!t behind and just rocked out. Shame there isn't more bands with less self infatuation like the finger.
Pity I missed their final tour but was bloody good to see em 6-7 times over the years..
