  1. the chap is my favorite drummer out of all bands ever, not just Aberdeen derived bands....its those odd behind the beat classic 60s rolls and fills, fab they is, will have to lookout the comic
  2. Not surprised they are sounding a bit like Travis at all. I would imagine thats part of the masterplan.
  3. the selection criteria seems to be decent* albums with VERY dodgy album titles *excludes Hot Chip who are this years Helicopter Girl
  4. ...anything but Hot Chip! anything.... well except Thom Yorke anything but Hot Chip and Thom Yorke he's the new Phil Collins
  5. I could record the sound of me chopping up a pile of acoustic intruments with an axe, does that count? It would be for charity obviously. Donation of your vile acoustic devices for such a good cause* would be greatly welcome. *charity of choice - TBA
  6. I love that list It should be rolled out every day untill Collins is no longer of this earth. On billboards. On TV. Everywhere. James Blunt must be his apprentice. The cycle of evil must be broken.
  7. Orson write bollocks hideous music for non-music lovers as does that webber knob. Valid critism and comment I feel and therefor the thread has a point. More point than most threads. Some dick on the radio actually went ''What a great tune'' after playing an insipid Orson track. He should now be prevented from broadcasting or commenting on ''music''. Also - the lyrics are as completely shit as those by Webber. Truly awful and pointless - unless the point is making money from people who have too much but dislike music Phantom of the Opera is an abomination. The government really should intervene and get this shite removed from our society. Never mind a fucking pointless knife amnesty. In fact what is worse than Orson? Ok Phil collins is, and probably Phantom of the Opera, but is there anything else that sounds as musically grotesque as Orson????????
  8. KBK can play Elvisness if required, in a half human half robot format (we'll use a sequencer/sampler as a stand in for our drummer and bassist who are both out of the country on the date of the gig). We will also need to buy an ''Elvis for Easy Guitar/Piano'' songbook pronto. Failing that, I have a vast selection of Elvis Mugs (mostly aquired in Blackpool) that I could put on display.
  9. Everything they did is essential. Including the Peel session releases. Funnily enough theres a fantastic track that was on the B side of RELEASE THE BATS called BLAST OFF. Im sure its on a best of compo. Blast cap - Blast off geddit?! Cave does a 25 second scream that you will no doubt appreciate. I need to go and play it now.
  10. Its probably about the time that its cool to like the Stranglers again so I may have to go and see them for the 296th time (approx) yo
  11. Lady Sov is wasted on rubbish like the very-ordinary boys imo a feeble attempt to add credibility to boring indie/pub-rock what will their management think of next? celeb BB again? a Peter Kay collaboration, a chrismas single? Preston nude in Mens Health? (very surprised they havent done a world cup tune to be honest) at least they beat un-Hard Fi to it
  12. im sure keyboard was a stage prop and the keys were played by a sequencer which could be discretely started by anyone in the band too much random organ bashing to beleive it was actually playing any notes or triggering any loops (both require a certain degree of accuracy).....either that or the guy is a concert pianist diguised as an indie mentalist....ooooooor it was a combination of both....the main riffs were sequenced with additional random live stuff played over the top...thats the most likely/do-able sounded fab though and thats the main thing the next phase of KBK development involves sequencer usage also yo!
  13. zvex fuzz factory is pretty good for scuzz sounds, if a bit erratic to set up, so i never really used it as much as I would have liked to.....replaced mine witha more controllable pedal from the Fulltone range of fuzzes...much more useable to be honest
  14. We did consider simply stealing a name from a film that we had seen and really liked, but we knew before we tried, that we would never agree It would have been like Sharon Transformers The Movie or Spongebob Squarepants The Movie Me - Starship Troopers or Magic Roundabout Dougal and the Blue Cat Nik - Blade Runner or Barbarella Dan European Pussy Lickers 7 Im not 100% sure if any of those would have worked as a band name.
  15. within a week of installation they will be fully encased in a mountain of seagull shit and be the source of a freeflowing river of lagery frothy piss neds will also climb up them and jump off causing themselves further brain damage....this is probably the only positive argument in favour of installing them
  16. yeh, its obscure and I dont know anyone whos actually seen it....but it exists
  17. nope it was Jims from the tunnels' idea....he said name your band after a 1950s scifi/horror movie
  18. i agree with illegal posters, it does make glasgow seem a bit more interesting the council and the law are stupid if they put up these corporate monstrosities I shall cover them in posters that say ''no fly posting''
  19. Theres also a nice interview with K.B.K. in the current Snafu magazine. Available at all good sandwich outlets.
  20. Kill Baby...Kill ''Described by Radio 1s Vic Galloway as "simply impossible to interview" and by his co presenter Gill Mills as "A dirty and beautiful noise", the Paris/Aberdeen based pop experi-mentalists Kill Baby... Kill take influences from daytime television, shoes and international glamorous discothques. To date, their reputation is built entirely on a handful of live performances and some incendiary 2 Track cassette recordings (soonly available as downloads check myspace for updates). Lyrically bizarre and musically reckless the sound of K.B.K. is improbably satisfying, and acheives its mission - to completely disregard the rules of pop music.'' www.myspace.com/killbabykilluk
