The Wombats :-)

[Bisque]

New song & video is brilliant.

New album around spring.

Surely must be playing this year.

[the wonderwhy]

Is that April Pearson? Wow, where has she been?

That song isn't as horrible as I expected actually.

[zero000]

I was hoping they'd moved to New York permanently.

[Icewulf]

That's awesome, love the retro VHS vibe, can't wait for the new album!

I'm still not sure if you're actually serious. I thought you were, then I saw the picture of the wombat and I thought you were joking. I then watched the video and thought I knew you were joking. Then I thought "Hang on, he's included a fact and his sentiment seems genuine, maybe he isn't". Then I saw the wombat and thought "Oooo I dunno". Then I remembered how gash this and every song they've ever done was and now I'm just confused.

I love a bit of The Wombats.

You can take it out of my face if you feel that way inclined but if they are there I shall be in attendance and may well cut a rug to them.

[the wonderwhy]

They were my second ever gig.

Good fun but I'm not expecting new output to be any good.

[FuzzyDunlop]

They were the pre match entertainment before the Rugby super league grand final I once went to.

My dad said they were "the worst act he'd ever seen and that includes the bald bloke we saw on holiday play they spoons and sing songs about standing in dog shit"

I thought they were even worse than he did, but you can't please everyone.

One of those awful but great jokes simultaneously.

I like The Wombats. I even had a hamster named Wombat.

A step too far Gnomicide, a step too far....

I fully understand that, unless you're me, people would say I have shite taste in music. I can live with that because you're all wrong.

A member of this forum (who shall remain nameless to save there eternal shame*) recently posted a link to a Hall and Oates song on Twitter. THAT is a step too far.

*rhymes with Buderson.

[Bisque]

Hall & Oates saved me from depression.

[Matt42]

Thought they were one of these bands that had 1-2 good songs then everyone forgot about them.

Didn't expect them to have this much popularity/hype

[Superscally]

I'm normally uber defensive of Liverpool bands, even when they're rubbish, but if the Wombats ever had their "I Am Spartacus" moment, I'd have to go. "Yep. That's Spartacus. All day long. Fair cop."

Circa Waves will hopefully redress the positive balance of music in the 'Pool.

[Sketchead]

Used to like the Wombats when I was 15/16. They had a habit of supporting the Holloways a lot, playing 30 minute slots, rushing through then demos such as Moving to New York and Little Miss Pipedream. They were great.

I've now outgrown them I guess. This new song is really poor. When a band has a break/has so long to put together new tracks, is this the best they can come up with?

[Greenelk]

Not massive fans, but saw them at the Old Blue Last this week, and we enjoyed them

When someone asked on twitter this week if they were playing festivals this year, then confirmed they were, and when asked about Glasto, there response was "hope so", so read into that what you will.

Don't think we would go and see them at the festival, must admit, but think they would get a good crowd. Can understand why lots of people loathe them as well

Agreed.

Wombats are shite.

You can't defend the indefensible.

Person 1: 'of all the bands, singers, poets, theatre acts, comedians etc. etc. there are in the world, who would you most like to spend an hour or two of your short time at Glastonbury festival going to see?'

Person 2: 'The Wombats'

Person 1: 'You're dead to me'

[Woffy]

Someone take the Wombats out of Gnomicide's face please.

I am disappointed ...really disappointed.

I have fond members from when I was 17 and getting into music...and "Lets Dance to Joy Division" in indie clubs but they was pretty shit last time they played, and they haven't released anything worth listening to since.

I bet if they played it would be full of old timers missing the shitty ol' SU days. Partay!

Bae: Come over

Gnomicide: Sorry I can't. I'm listening to The Wombats.

Bae: My parents aren't home. Wait. What?

Gnomicide: Let's dance to Joy Division and celebrate the irony.

Did the lasers feel your mind with empty plans?

(Just went to listen to it, I don't know it off by heart or anything...I actually forgot about this one )
