faymondo Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Only seen the FLC back in the day at the Liverpool Royal Court when it was standing downstairs and you could smoke. Most people got stoned off the smoke I think ! Cant wait to see them at Glastonbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not his own stuff but I do find there is often a lot similar and it just isn't to my taste at all. This soft jazz/hiphop fusion 90s stuff, tribe called quest etc. Repetitive, smooth and exasperatingly low tempo, demanding that i chill out, and I absolutely refuse, they can all fuck off, i'm not part of their tribe and if i were a criminal i'd be a very serious one I think you’re the first person I’ve ever seen openly say they don’t like ATCQ. You don’t even like Can I Kick It? Really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Depressing scenes a couple of years back when it looked like Q-Tip and the lads were a shoo in to headline WH and they cancelled their European dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t even like Can I Kick It? Really! Yes sir you have it correct. I gotta clarify that for me their music is mainly inoffensive, so I don't hate it but yeah I certainly don't love it either and given we have limited time on the earth I wouldn't choose to spend much of mine listening to it. As for can I kick it, surely it owes everything to the walk on the wild side sample, a song I do love, but a song I'd also rather listen to.

uscore Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 I don't like ATCQ either. Can I Kick It? is alright but I'd never chose to listen to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Dickfingers Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Fair enough. Big Velvets/Lou Reed fan but I’d sooner listen to Can I Kick It? I think I misunderstood. I think I assumed you thought it was offensively bad. One of my absolute favourite acts you’re talking about there across any genre couldn’t comprehend it.

Going to take the chance it's the South London post-punk/Americana 4-piece, rather than some actual cleaners, and add the former to the end of the playlist.

Can't really see them playing Avalon because of that crowd size. There’s a small village near here, Chalford, and each year they hold a glorified village fete , called ‘Chalfest’. FLC ‘headlined’ a year or two back, I reckon that makes them willing to play pretty much anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowd size at Glasto is something different to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Dry Cleaning are great, got tickets for them in a few weeks but glad they're at the farm as well. As said above I wouldn't really call them Americana, they're very much rooted in the uprise of talky post punk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mezhyp1 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 I've seen Orbital twice since they came back around and is really enjoyable. Would probably see them again if they played Glasto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack.194 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Definitely not a self confirmation, probably more of a ‘I hope we get asked but Twin Atlantic just posted this to their Instagram, with the voice over “Give the people what they desire” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maelzoid Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I've not heard them, and they may be the greatest band ever, but Dry Cleaning is absolutely one of the worst band names I have ever heard of. That and Jock Strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
