The Pet Shop Boys?

Yeah, the clue is "Let's make lots of money". Not sure who else that could be hinting at

Take The Long Road and Walk It was a tune.

The scat singing in that song freezes me in carbonite every time.

Literally no idea who The Music are.

Whacked on Spotify and still none the wiser.

I was mistaken for Robert Harvey off of The Music at T in the Park many moons ago, bloke wouldn't accept that I wasn't him.

Were you dressed like Richard Ashcroft?

Strength In Numbers was all over xfm around 08. I might have seen them at the winter wonderland come to think of it

I had a listen yesterday and couldn't get into them at all

[Hugh Jass]

I remember The Music having a few decent tunes - The People, Take the Long Road, Freedom Fighters...

Not someone I’d pay to see now but would consider seeing them if they turned up at GF.

That similarity has also been raised but never to the point of confusing anybody.

I stuck The Music's debut on the other day after seeing this announcement. Probably around 15 years since I last listened to it. Take The Long Road And Walk It and Truth Is No Words still sound pretty good but the rest of the album hasn't aged well at all.

If they came on the scene two years after they did they would have sounded dated, which explains why their shelf life was so short. They were effectively ended by Kasabian when Chris Karloff and his mob became the approved Primal Scream imitators.

That said, the Temple Newsam gig is very locally geared for the people of West Yorkshire who still hold a candle for this lot. I'm sure there are many. Can't knock it. Can't see them being signed up at Glastonbury, but they'll likely do a couple of circuits of yer Kendals, yer Victoriouses and yer Penn Fests.

I dunno, seem like prime daytime Other fodder to me.

My friend knows one of the band. She told me The Cribs were supporting someone in Leeds a couple of weeks ago but kept her promise and didn't reveal the main act. Not that I've ever knowingly listened to them... 

At some point I'll try to get her to find out if they'll be there.

Not so sure about that. The stage gets a label for hosting soon-to-be-forgotten modern indie bands, some grizzled old veterans that used to be huge and then some acts in between, but a band straight out of a time capsule from 2003 with no cultural cachet beyond that moment in time is definitely outside the norm imo. The festival booking Skunk Anansie and The Lightning Seeds for it this year was a bit along those lines but at least they have history with the festival.

[Hugh Jass]

Definitely in for PSB.

[Padjeq]

The Music back when they came out they were the serious man's 'The' band. They were compared to Led Zeppelin (yes, really) and had a lot of music press hype ahead of their debut. Getaway was a tune though tbf.

@deebeedoobee This you?

Doppelganger.  If they ever meet, one of them must die.

Gutted tbh, was hoping she'd be in Brighton.  Beabadoobee, not Deebeedoobee. I think.

Just got a presale ticket to Lola Young at Jazz Cafe (Camden) in Oct - had to get restaurant tickets! Weirdly, she's the last act I saw live in March, might be a slightly different experience 7 months later!
