My mate works for Age Concern in Wednesbury, they're never out of the place.

Always scrounging cups of tea and pink wafers with some gripe or other.

They're 65 and 68 respectively.

Far too old to be banging biscuit tins and shouting over a bontempi organ.

They live in Nottingham.

Not that it means they don't go to Age Concern in Wendesbury. I'm just saying.

To tell the truth, I assumed you'd at least find the vitriolic, anti-establishment tone of their lyrics rather appealing, spat out as it is in a regional accent by a man who wears ankle length sports trousers a fair bit.

Lyrics like this from their seminal track "Jobseeker":

-------------------

So Mr. Williamson, what have you done in order to find gainful employment
Since your last signing on date?
Fuck all
I've been sat around the house wanking
And I want to know why you don't serve coffee here
My signing on time is supposed to be ten past eleven
It's now twelve o'clock
And some of you smelly bastards need executing

Anyhow, fans of the Sleafords (pictured below) can catch up with the gents in the latest hip youngster's periodical The NME - where they hold forth on; Tony Blair, Boris Johnson, denture fixatives, decimalisation, 'darkies', Glen Miller, biscuits and not being able to use their bus pass before 10am...

They should do a collaboration with Scooter and Status Quo..

Surely he should be railing against the terms of cold weather payments?

Sleaford Mods used to do gay porn before hitting musical paydirt.

One of their more infamous shoots was known by the name "Lemon Party" if you'd like to see it?

"Sat in me house

Nose twitching like a fucking mouse

At the smell of stale Complan and veruuuuuca cream.

No-one give a shit if I'm late

down the allotment cos the bus driver said

my pass was out of date

My left arm aches

It's the only thing keeping me warm

the fact that I'm having a stroke

To the buzzin' noise of a single bar

HEEEEAAATTEEERRRR"

They're the Superdry of music.

Pigswill

SuperDry items are the accoutrements of the sartorial walking dead.

You see SuperDry man in the pub. You see him because his nylon-enriched clothing can be seen by the Mars Rover.

It says SuperDry on it. Everywhere.

It would be less subtle if the chap had instead bought a plain white T-Shirt and written on it with his own blood "I'm 43 years old. But this TShirt is telling you that I'm not going into my mid life crisis quietly. No way Pedro. I'm going into my fleshy, middle years kicking and screaming covered in garments that are only marginally less tacky than my Maori tattoo sleeves. Look at me. FUCKING LOOK AT ME."

Mods are just angry. They don't want your pity, or respect, or admiration. They just want to shout and tell everyone to fuck off. All to a backdrop of infectious beats.

Klaxons do a good job covering it but it still doesn’t compare 

saw the Klaxons at the Apollo once - think Smiley and his brother were there with us

weirdest gig ever

clearly the majority of Klaxons fans were 15

they were all at the "bottom half" of the apollo standing area having some mad mosh rave to hardcore techno tunes being pumped out by the support, glow sticks goign on and all sorts

at the back were all the parents who had come along and had to hang around waiting

then us and others in between who felt like they'd turned up at some youth club disco

one kid asked us if they could buy a cig off us, another asked if we'd buy them beer and also lend them a quid for said pint

shite, basically

Been to many a gig like that in the past, was usually some shite scenecore emo band my mate dragged me along to just so he didn't look like a nonce.
