Things people say between songs

[Donna Ferentes]

I once went to a folk club in Newcastle where the introductions to the songs (all of them, basically, involving anecdotes about people in the folk world of whom everybody but I had obviously heard) were rather longer than the songs themselves.

The prize, however, surely has to go to "a-wuhn, two, free, four" between just about every Ramones song without exception.

On 'Its Alive', we at least get 'I've just had a chicken vindaloo. I wanna be well'. They did make the effort sometimes!

Er, just because I like to mention the Archers of Loaf as many times as I can - the highlights of the in between song banter of their fantastic recorded career include.

"I hit myself on the nose"

"We have got an alien on stage" - The clever twist being, there was in fact (wait for it)..........
no alien on stage - genius.

You can keep yr bloody Libertines.....

Archers Of Loaf good. But Bogshed even better.

 

[Ground Elder]

Solstice member: "Fuck! That was a good spliff, man." He had been passed a joint by a member of the audience and had dropped and broken his electric violin.

Solstice That's bought back memories

Archers Of Loaf good. But Bogshed even better.

there isn't a better than th' Archers option.

(Bogshed? - dunno them.)

Mu (little Japanese woman) got the everybody shouting 'she's a stupid fucking bitch' during the song Paris Hilton on Saturday at Cross Central. I think she has serious issues with Paris Hilton.

The stupid fucking bitch...

The Three Johns, The Dave Howard Singers and Mighty Mighty were all better as well.

Got to be Isabel from Drugstore... she was always slaughtered on red wine. One gig at Warwick uni and when some poor techie kept fiddling with her mic during one song she turned to him and drawled in a throaty, drunken South American way 'When you die.... do ya wanna go to heaven... or do ya wanna go t'hell?' He looked very worried.

Then there was a time at the Garage where someone gave her a little doll that looked like her - she started singing liltingly 'Isn't she lovely, isn't she beautiful, aren't I so happy.... to be rid of the fuckin' thing!'

It doesn't really come over in print, but it was ace at the time.

 

[RubberBuccaneer]

The Batfish Boys at Leicester Princess Charlotte.

No-on dancing just being wallflowers and cool. Batfish Boys lead singer sarcastically says 'Shall we pretend this is a real concert'.

'Go on then ' replies the wag.

 

[RubberBuccaneer]

I went to one once , can't remember where , this bloke anounces 'this ain't rock and roll , this is genocide' and the band starts playing.

yeah the Loaf were the best for inbetween song banter especially the little scary-eyed bass blonde one. I saw one of their last ever gigs and their euipment totally failed. They tried to fix it and while Eric was busy punching an amp he was left to entertain the crowd. Excellent.
I keep playing Icky and they were a band who are still ahead of their time! There is none better than AOL...the GOAT!!!!

Also worth a peep for weird off-thecuff comments are The Broken Family Band

The Three Johns, The Dave Howard Singers and Mighty Mighty were all better as well.

your making a fool ouf of yourself, not me

twisted, I never got to see the mighty loaf, I'm still waiting for Eric to arrange a UK tour, with Crooked Fingers, though it's not the same thing
