Looks like utter shit compared to previous ones, only slightly better than the one with The Horrors, The Automatic and The View.

 

Kaiser Chiefs, Futureheads, Bloc Party and The Killers for ?17 takes some beating.

Utter tosh. I really don't get folk thinking the Proclaimers b?stard brothers are any good.

Only turned out for The Cribs. Johnny Marr joined them on stage.

Was a good night all round.

Can't believe one of Ghana Whites' mates left early though!

Always been hit and miss these NME tours but they are cheap, think I saw Asian Dub Foundation, that band who had SEB in it before she went solo and The Stereophonics. 98 I think.

 

It was poo, but it was ?15 at the time.

I said it was shit last year and you appear to be in agreement.

 

What's your point?

10 seconds of 'that's not my name' would have me wanting to kill lots of people!

I have nt heard of any of them.

 

 

Are nt Beautiful South or Deacon Blue on ?

Edited by Ani

Was R+TM not in there last year??????

 

I remember the Ting Tings supporting them last year

 

look at them now.

 

how time changes

I have nt heard of any of them.

 

 

Are nt Beautiful South or Deacon Blue on ?

 

It's now The Sound of Paul Heaton or something, he played Manchester Ritz last Friday.

 

Joe Lean and the JJJ, what a crock of pretentious shit. They ditched their album as it didn't sound right and then disappeared off the musical compass. Joe Lean played Sofie's brother in Peep Show, the one that wanted Jeremy to take him to London. I don't know if he was the one that sucked off Super Hans though. Camden based wank.

 

How's about last years XFM Winter Wonderland for ?20:

 

The Charlatans

The Cribs

The Ting Tings

The Courteeners

Bloke from Starsailor

Stephen Fretwell.
