Worst band name EVER ? 13161 60
Started by John Doe
As Ham Sandwich, a band much beloved of many Cluas regulars, prepare to release their debut album, the sheer awfulness of their name got me wondering: have you ever found it difficult, if not impossible, to like a band purely because of their name I've slowly gotten to like Ham Sandwich's music but I have to admit it took me a long time to get over THAT name. First impressions were of some bloody awful band trying too hard to be 'wacky'. You know, 'Oh look at us we're not like those awful prete...

Other Voices last night (5 March '08) 2188 4
Started by starbelgrade
I'm not even gonna bother going into details - last night's show was dreadful. They could really do with pushing the boat out a bit more on this show... there's far too much acoustica and blues. A sprinkling of electronica would really inject something into the format.
Dark Room Notes are on next week - I only know their 'Nicotine' tune, which is a decent song, if not a tad lacking in the editing dept (it'd make a perfect 3.5min pop tune)... so I'm looking forward to seeing them play.

Talk about.. Pop Music 5324 14
Started by starbelgrade
I saw bits of 2 shows this week with people discussing music on them - one was Newsnight on BBC... there was one dude (well, I say dude, but he did actually look like Napolean Dynamite's nerdy cousin) discussing the relative merits of Duffy, arguing that she was more 'urban' & thus, more relevant than any of her contemporaries. (It might have actually been Adele he was discussing, but either way, that's kind of irrelevant).
The other was John Kelly's show on RTE (The View).. they were ta...

Started by starbelgrade
I watched this last night - well some of it. When I switched it on, there was some whiney cow with an acoustic playing, so I flicked for a bit. Daniel Lanois' instrumental on the steel lap guitar was amazing - amazing even just to watch him play it! Super Furries.... I was never a bit fan of their music, but I do love their attitude.. the singer's acoustic guitar was f**king class too - with a piece of cardboard stuck onto it to make it look like an electric!! Haha! Best of the bunch though, for...

Hooray For Humans split? 3086 4
Started by aidan
Just saw some sad news on Naomi's 'Off Her Rocker' blog: Hooray For Humans lead singer Aine has quit the band. It's a shame.
Apparently the rest of the band will continue, and look for a new singer... hopefully they won't split up completely.
