stuartbert two hats Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 There's nothing wrong with the current drummer. If I was in a rehearsal room auditioning* and he sat down at the kit I'd be amazed and hire him on the spot, but Sarah added an ineffable sense of urgency to the music. It's not like the difference between Robbie Maddix and Reni, and might even be my imagination, but she just seemed a bit tighter and slightly further forward on the beat. It's not as if he's Stephen Morris or anything. I expect gigging a bit will improve things. He's already very good. * It is very many years since I've seen the inside of a rehearsal room.

gigpusher Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Has Sarah left the band or is Harry Styles just a bigger pay day? I really love her drumming would be gutted if she's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there were a bit of nerves but he had a good groove! Took the lead from Al Doyle most of the way so not sure how rehearsed he is. Any idea who he is?

Mardy Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 I love Hot Chip, been a fan for at least 10 years, in fact, think the first time I saw them was Glastonbury 2007/2008 (in the JP), but fuck me, that cover of Sabotage is appalling.

stuartbert two hats Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) In 2007 my girlfriend went to watch The Killers at the Pyramid, I went to The Park to see Africa Express. I won. Despite this, somehow we're married with a child. Edited April 1, 2019 by stuartbert two hats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it because they are playing at somewhere that's a nightclub afterwards? I hate that. Places should either do a gig night, or a club night, not greedily try to squeeze in both. It means you have to be in absurdly early to have a chance of seeing a support act, and you don't have enough time to have a few drinks before the headliner comes on. If I was in a band I'd refuse to play places like that. If that's not the reason, apologies for the rant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only made it through about 30 seconds before concluding that if I am to hear it properly then 4 days solid drinking may be required first.
