Glad to see there's still mileage in the old Ryan, Bryan and Steve jokes.

Never heard them. Although friends went silly a couple of years ago when they played near me.

I wouldn't call them country or americana really; their heritage is closer to the likes of Pavement, Silver Jews, Smog, Centro-Matic etc. Yes, there's a bit of twang in there but it's more of a US slacker-indie vibe, done (very well) by guys from Cambridge

yep, there's supposed to be farewell a gig at the Portland, here in Cambridge. the place will be packed out (the band room out back is tiny)
i think the split is kind of a shame, but not really. they'd moved way beyond the stuff i liked 'em for anyway, and are too indyschmindy for me now.
I have heard of them but hadn't heard them until I read this. Its great stuff and they do a NMH cover

they used to do the whole of In An Aeroplane live in pubs in Cambridge, would love to have seen that.

just to end the doubt..
"Apologies for the information bombardment, but we have fixed a date for our actual farewell show…
Somewhat appropriately we’ll be hosting a Halloween costume party on Saturday 31st October in Cambridge (yes, at the pub where we played our first show), and attendance will be strictly by application only.
It’s a small place, so we just can’t say yes to everyone, so if you’d like to come along with a friend for £10 each, just send us 30 words telling us why we’d enjoy having you at our party… if you’re in we’ll let you know by the end of September!"

Anyone reckon "I am flying over from Switzerland specially to hear you play" would get me a ticket

I`m 50 today and couldn`t think of a better way to spend the night , unfortunately my family don`t see things that way so will sadly will be missing this one , I have loved the BFB and sad to see them go , does anyone know what the plans are for the future ? I cannot believe such a talented songwriter will call it a day . I only manged to see them 4 or 5 times and always at festies so I`m guessing I didn`t see the best of them . Tonight really is the last one isnt it ? apart from the Cambridge gig
