Existing only to make hen-pecked kid-powfagged knackered middle-aged men still feel 'edgy'. If any yoof are reading - outside any of their gigs is absolutely perfect for selling snide drugs to dads in 'casual' jeans and dandy coloured Spezials. Latest tour - Sponsored by Simplicity Cremations. When I went seeing Fat White Family in the summer, Sleaford Mods headlined. The change in crowd before they came on was noticeable. Most of the young uns fucked off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) I'm not surprised [da yoof fucked off early]. By then they'd probably already flogged paltry amounts of their excess drugs, for a 600% markup, to sad middle-aged blokes out on a Day-Pass (acquired in 2017) and desperate to prove they're still 'lairy' and 'street'... And tell those pensioners (the 'band') that being a 'chav' was never being a modern 'punk' - so ditch the Adidas poppers and snapbacks... Anyway, they've long, long moved on now - your average 'roadman' wouldn't be seen dead loitering and window-shopping around JD Sports these days.

ErnestTurnip Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I'm sensing that's a definite "No" now, what about if I throw in a pastie from Greggs and and a couple of pints in Brewdog beforehand? Still no dice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was better than I thought but I have to say had the wiff of the middle aged as you say. Baxter Dury was so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Lot of time for Baxter Dury but still very much what someone described to me as a "Radio 6 dad" demographic though?

Jesus, that's probably not a million miles away from the pre-gig of some fans going to watch the 'Sleaford Pensioners'. Anyway, I'd still say no.

Perhaps. I don't bother with mine, their mam frankly went to seed after having the two of them DESPITE me paying for her a membership at David Lloyd and that stupid Janeplan thing... Ditched her for a girl at work after a year or so. If it is, then at least be down with them ie ignore them at gigs by contemporary acts. Not going watching to even older sad bastards in sportswear pretending they're still pissed off about stuff...

Best sound is away from the front. The piss stones are those raised metal troughs that are barely distinguishable from the sinks. I've seen folk piss in the sinks and last time, someone went to wash their hands in the urinal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted November 16, 2021 Moderators Share Posted November 16, 2021 I've seen loads of people there, it's a great venue. Someone was saying they'd never seen Pixies and I pointed them at Bingley Festival. They are playing Castlefield also. No excuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Anyone doing Jesus & Mary Chain this week? Playing Wed & Thu at Albert Hall in Mcr. Darklands in full plus 10-11 rarely played songs (which I barely know!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
