General Lee Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Yep, seen them on telly recently. The whole act - fake accent and all seems pretty embarrassing. Fortunately I'm not into the music either so have no worries about having to cringe my way through it. If I liked the music then it would seriously grate on me.

Amy Lawn Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Alex seemed really cool when he was younger, maybe it's just that he was shy and didn't open his gob so much. I'll always have a fondness for Artics pre-AM (and that even spawned two decent singles), but they seem to have resigned themselves to being boring, never had any time for Miles Kane or TLSP as a project.

SwedgeAntilles Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 They were excellent live in Edinburgh recently, they'll put on a good show. I think they'll suit the Pyramid more than Tame Impala actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubenz Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 They have obviously got hold of some top quality hooter and are just getting stuck in and making the most it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EighteenSixty7 Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I can't wait. Missed out on the Sheffield gig due to work and I was gutted. First time seeing them properly as a group. Don't mind the on stage antics, they're having fun. Can't wait to hear the new albums tracks, hopefully with the sun setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddenly Alex is the campest straight guy on the planet, I can't put my finger on it!! This is Martin L Gore and he is by far the campest straight guy on the planet. The fact he is a musical genius means I could not care about his image. Can you imagine the stick I got as a kid for liking a band who dressed like that? If you like the music then go watch them. Close your eyes if his leggins make you squirm. I am not a fan of their music so will be elsewhere, but I would definitely not let their image put me off. Hot Chip look like the biggest geeks on the planet, but all that matters is their music, not their over sized wooly jumpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a raging lesbian myself, so camp does not offend. Perhaps I've used the wrong description. It's just the general persona these days, and seeing a band live, of course their persona is part of the experience. I'll probably see them all the same anyway!

CaledonianGonzo Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I'm not that au fait with Martin Gore, but I presumed that his was a BDSM thing. Master and Servant and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty confident when it comes to striding from stage to stage in the quickest possible time though so I feel good about not missing owt.

But I don't think they've opened up with it for a whole until last night/the other day? If they play Sweet Dreams, TN anywhere near the middle or end then I'll end up drunkenly murdering it. Pattern will be a moment. Really really looking forward to seeing them, going into Tame Impala is even better.

jparx Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Alex Turner has always been a tool. Sure he's become more of a tool in recent years, but he was still a 7/10 on the tool scale beforehand. Miles Kane I can take or leave. Saw him 5 years or so ago at Y Not and it just washed over me. There are literally hundreds more interesting things to do at Glastonbury than watch those guys!
