Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Just picked up a message on the Cryspace from someone claiming to be Joe Odber from Northsound. The message said that 2 Labour politicians are trying to get Wifebeater banned from playing live due to the lyrics and there's going to be something about it on the radio tomorrow. I'\d say this has to be a wind-up but you know how stupid some people can be so does anyone know anything about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Well, if it is true, they cant do that. Free speech, I think, but may be wrong (and I'm aware this country has no first amendment)Also, how would labour politicians come across your music?

RodThunder Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I hope this is true, but not because I want wifebeater banned from playing live, quite the opposite. You's could ride the crest of a wave of infamy and notoriety, people could play your CD in rebellion like "Anarchy in the UK" never happened.

Bigsby Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Good to know that with the economy in tatters, unemployment rocketing and Aberdeen's finances in the red to the tune of millions of pounds that the Labour Party is concentrating on the important issues of the day.

Mora-Treat-Guru Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Shame it's over. Would have liked to check out the live show. It's interesting to watch the reactions of certain people when presented with material out-with their own comfort zone. If there's no obvious message of condemnation they automatically assume the opposite, a good security blanket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidm Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 oh man, i love when people do researchNorthsound 1ANGER OVER ABERDEEN PUNK BANDThere are calls for an Aberdeen punk band to be banned from playing live. They're called Wifebeater and they have songs like "Take That and That" and "Where's my bleeping Tea." They're currently on tour around Scotland, and Labour politicians are urging councils to stop them performing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm loving the added stupidity of these clowns trying to ban a group that has already disbanded.They'll be trying to ban The Beatles and T-Rex next.

calum Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Where the fuck did Jake go? Did Northsound capture him and steal his internet identity?!I'd imagine "they" finally caught up with him. He's probably being executed in Bolivia as we speak.This whole episode just goes to show what a diverse range of idiots there are in the world.
