Bad Kids Black Lips

[alsoknownas]

The little kiddie at the end of the video made me laugh - walking nonchelantly along - not realising he's on fire
(hope he was alright ).

Er, sorry but the song's rubbish by the way.

Sounds like Showaddywaddy to me.

i hate to break it to you, but most chord sequences in pop music have been reused hundreds of times!

That may well be the problem .

the gig is tonight.... hang on noone liked it did they.

bands who sound like this always make me think they've just discovered the new york dolls and read that johnny thunders did other stuff afterwards.

so they went to their local record shop but instead of buying the heartbreakers' LAMF they bought thunders' shitty 'so alone' solo LP and thought "hey! let's base our entire sound on this"

Bad Kids sounds nothing like anything off So Alone, most of which is played (unsurprisingly) in a sub-Sex Pistols raunchy guitar style...in short I think you're well wide of the mark.

Cheers - Louis MacNeice

ok, they may have radically changed their style from the four or five times i've seen them then. I'm not saying they're bad, just that i personally find them a tad over styled and music of that genre simply leaves me cold.

also, unless it a prefix to the word 'Sabbath' bands with 'black' in their name are generally to be avoided.

It was an excellent gig, there was a stage invasion and a riot and the guitarist got naked and played the guitar with his nob.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

It was a good 'un! Never seen such arsey security before - managed to land a half full can of lager on one of their shoulders right at the end!

Still, their wankerishness kinda made the gig imo!

For some reason, I thought this thread was about New Kids On The Block's UK tour

pah the security weren't nothing, most of those kids deserved a bit more of a beating. it was funny to watch though, a bit pantomime.
sound was a bit shit though, but what i could here sounded great I think i will get the album, it was much more varied than i thought it would be

yes. they are one of the better Parkinsons tribute acts, i'll give them that.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

They were well over the top though - guess Heaven security aren't used to indie/rock gigs and the crowd surfing that goes with it.

It's a fun lil' album

Actually enjoyed King Khan and BBQ more though - especially their onstage banter "ginger minge"

i was a bit gutted we only arrived for the last few songs of King Khan but am seeing him in spain in october so will look forward to that

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Cool! Is he playing with The Shrines then? Really wanna see him with them

 

[rutabowa]

Don't know them, are they of a similar quality/style as King Khan?

 

[rutabowa]

all the bands at the festival are garage punk in some form or other. The Mummies were aroudn late 80s early 90s but they have reformed for one gig only

they dress as... mummies

"The Mummies Are Back!!

That's right, after 15 years of incessant nagging by every Tom, Dick and Larry, someone finally convinced the boys to travel forward in time to 2008 to play a show. Needless to say, the boys were appalled at the state of the future we all live in. Where are the flying fucking cars like in Blade Runner?! What the hell kind of future is this shit anyway? What, the best you can do is eBay? What happened to all the cheap equipment? Where did Thrift Center in Hayward go?! Where's Savers next to Thrift City in Redwood City?! Oh shit... where the fuck is Thrift City???

So this is what happens when we call it quits. We give you all the keys to the fucking kingdom, and you fuck it all up. This is worse than Chuck riding up to the statue of liberty at the end of the Planet of the Apes. What did you assholes do to the future? God Damn it!!

This is why we have to come back to the future. And after we play this show, we're going to crawl back into our tiny little time machine, go back to safe-and-sane 19-fucking-89 and buy up all the Farfisas, Silvertone 1484's, Vox and Framus guitars and destroy them all!!!

Oh yeah, and this ain't no bullshit. We really are playing on October 10th, 2008. Once. One fucking show. Uno. Got it? If you ever want to see The Mummies LIVE, this is your one and only chance. Tickets apparently go on sale in June. Check the promoter's mySpace page for more info on the show: Funtastic Dracula Carnival

Oh yeah, there's one last hitch: the show is in Spain, amigo. So start saving up for that plane fare, and remember, no more than 3 oz of liquid on the plane, so empty out your colostomy bag prior to boarding. "
