I generally have pretty catholic tastes in music, but I couldn't see anything of merit in that. Seen simialr performances before, but generally from a gang of 16 year old on their first gig. Unpolished is one thing, crap is another. (IMHO of course) Edited October 30, 2019 by Count Bassy 2 Quote
Pea Turgh Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 I thought she was a good showman/woman/non-binary entity with an energetic song. The rest of the band looked like they were bricking it! I suppose if they’ve gone from 0 to TV in a very short space of time, they would be unpolished and scared! And at the end of the day, they are on TV and radio and I am not, so hats off to them! Quote

The performance of the band was lackluster (apart from the singer), but they have a record out and are on telly and I’ve heard them on radio 6 twice today, so they must be doing something right 🤪 Quote

Barking Spiders Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 However cr@p they were, they were relatively entertaining compared to the rest of the all-female bill . WTF is that tosh with a girl/woman singing while hitting drums? 1 Quote

They were on the level of a school band's second rehearsal - sloppy, out-of-time and inept. This sort of stuff can be great when played well, but this lot were pretty much incompetent. What they're "doing right" is having marketing money behind them, which is likely to be a lot more to do with what the singer looks like than anything else. 2 Quote
Pea Turgh Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 I’m not that bothered about their music, but if they can make a living from it, I’m happy for them. I’m just trying to be positive, man! 1 Quote

petebassist Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Amyl and the Sniffers - entertaining certainly. I thought punk was about anyone-can-have-a-go amateurism, energy and attitude, not AOR-type musicianship, but maybe it's changed. I wonder why Jools didn't join in on piano. Quote

Hobbayne Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 Jools should get that American kid who fooled top venues that he was a major star with a record deal, an agent and a huge fan base. Thats how marketing works and he has got what he wants because it has given him exposure. Cant be any worse than that shower of shite! Quote
dmccombe7 Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 I decided to start watching it but first act was dreadful IMO and i turned over to something else. Watched short clips of the rest of the show but not sure what they're trying to put across as a show. Are people actually buying that stuff ? I couldn't listen to most of it the exception being Elbow which was ok but not great either. Dave Quote
yorks5stringer Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) The Bassist on this weeks show with Michael Kiwanuka has a nice early Pbass with the biggest wedge of foam under the strings I've ever seen! I fast forwarded the show after that... Edited November 1, 2019 by yorks5stringer Quote
dave_bass5 Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 Michael Kiwanuka is definitely the highlight of the show for me, and ive never heard of him before. Cant believe Jools had a say in any of the rap stuff. What a shower of s##t that stuff is. Ive just turned over from watching the last concert Black Sabbeth did on Sky Arts. Geezer was playing his lovely looking Lakland PJ. Getting a bit of GAS for one of those. Quote

lowdown Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 A bloke in his underpants being encouraged by a Geezer who abandons his record player to join in the fun. The TV audience loved 'em...I hated 'em and laughed my nads off...But, that's what it's all about, opinions... init... Quote
SH73 Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 I caught the end of it. The guy with beard has the 8th album out. I thought they were amateur musicians. The other bands? Well not my cup of tea. Quote

As to the studio audience loving them, it’s probably like the old TV game shows where a chap holds up an applause sign and they follow like sheep, Bah. 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑 Edited November 2, 2019 by steantval Quote
BreadBin Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Like it or not, Slowthai speaks for many people. Michael Kiwanuka - I find his vocal delivery really grates on me, but do appreciate what he is trying to say. Musically decent though 👍 Quote
