Where does my statement mention the court case?

The “we do not condone” comment makes reference to behaviour that was the subject of a police investigation/court case and would be considered legally as making comment as the band would undoubtedly be aware. Had Meighan pleaded not guilty then comments like “we do not condone” could influence any jury. Similarly an employer cannot fire an employee until after their court case is complete, or they have pleaded guilty. Doing so before is a breach of HR law.

They would have been briefed by their legal and PR people in exactly what they could and could not say.

The replies to this NME tweet show why it’s important for people who have supported Tom to publicly come out and denounce him. This is why I think the lad lad lad culture in indie music needs to handled more aggressively...

Yeah man what a fucking shame that he did that. Oh well when he’s done his 200 hours hope he comes back to making quality music because during lockdown mate I’m missing my strongbow dark fruits tunes!

This all happened on 9th of April. Feels a little like Kasabian are more concerned about brand Kasabian than taking any moral stand. 

I understand this view point but could they have actually commented on it if there was legal action taking place? Sorry I’m not sure on different legislation on privacy in these cases

But they didn't comment on it anyway they just waited until the day before he was clearly pleading guilty to try and disassociate him from them.

I would understand more standing by a friend and sticking by them through thick and thin or ditching him immediately because of a moral objection to what they did but they have done the more cynical thing of not standing by a friend or having a moral stance.

Can you not just say that some people on Twitter are being pricks without demonising groups of people for what music they listen to?

Anyone that praises bands like Kasabian, Catfish and the Misogynistmen, and Courteeners DESERVE to be mocked and ridiculed

Do you not see this as an issue though? Some pricks on twitter are just those who are confident enough to vocalise their views. Many will agree and not say anything. I would much rather identify conversations we should be having and target them head on rather than leave it be.

Plus I can’t see why that example would be a problem unless the shoe fit?

Lol let’s just leave lad culture unchallenged then because we are afraid to have some difficult conversations.

How about the view that once a man has completed his sentence and paid his debt to society he is free to seek a living however he can?

It’s a sticky moral area when it comes to figures in the public eye, but were he a plumber would you stop him from installing toilets when he had finished his sentence?

The idea of rehabilitation and return to society to live a normal life is a core tenant of the justice system.

You’re taking issue with a guy saying he hopes he pays his dues and learns from this? You think it’s toxic to hope that the rehabilitation system can rehabilitate someone?

Kasabian haven’t done anything to foster lad culture before have they? It’s just a generalisation you have for their fans. Imagine generalising rap fans for something abusive a rapper is found to have done, or pop punk fans because of one of their heroes doing shady shit.

People will be willing to indulge you in your ‘difficult conversations’ when you grow up about it.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
